Neoliberal centrists know that they have no legitimate arguments to defend their views, so they are promoting a new ideology called the abundance agenda. The Abundance agenda reject the New Deal progressivism which is silly as New Deal programs reduced poverty in half, saved millions of lives, and increased the standard of living for millions of Americans for years and decades. They say that new programs are needed in the 21st century when these same programs are needed in the 21st century. They claim that liberals micromanage too much causing people to migrate to Texas and Florida, but Texas has racist suppression of the education of black history and Florida has massive economic inequality issues. Biden used many progressive economic policies to reduce childhood poverty, increase economic growth, and power manufacturing. Abundance people want more housing, more energy, and more technological innovations. These plans are not wrong. The problem is that they want to radically deregulate the government when Trump and Musk have radically deregulated the government now (which has caused mayhem for millions of innocent Americans). Abundance movement people want to blame progressives, but they fail to realize that you can deregulate government, but people still need a strong social safety net, living wages, and other programs to grow society. The Abundance Conference in 2024 is funded by neoliberal think tanks and the libertarian Reason Foundation, AI advocates, and corporate heads. In other words, you can't speed up skipping legitimate regulations to build something. You still need to make sure that safety standards and environmental protections are available. There is no technological innovation, no fast-speed rail, no clean energy, no more affordable housing, etc. without economic inequality, racism, sexism, xenophobia, discrimination, and poverty being addressed comprehensively.
Trump White House czar Tom Homan has defied the court on the Trump administration's illegal deportations. The White House's actions have nothing to do with security or due process. It has to do with xenophobia and a hatred of political dissent against a convicted felon Donald Trump. The federal judge in Washington, D.C. made it explicitly clear to halt the deportation flights to El Salvador. Trump sent more than 250 Venezuelan and Salvadorian men to El Salvador. Federal District Judge James Boasberg, the presiding judge in the court has handled many cases. The judge wants to halt the deportations until the cases have been reviewed in court. Stephen Miller is a liar to assume that has a district court judge has no authority to regulate the actions of the executive branch. The truth is that all 3 branches of government are co-equal, and the executive branch doesn't have carte blanche powers to do what it wants unconditionally. The Constitution sets up parameters in regulating the powers of all 3 branches (i.e. the judicial, executive, and legislative branches of the U.S. government). I do believe that Trump will try to deport American citizens in the future, because he is evil and vindictive. Trump needs impeachment.
A lifesaving program to fight HIV/AIDS is being gutted in cuts by Trump and Musk. Trump, Musk, and MAGA supporters don't care about babies, kids, or adults. They care only about power. These people are evil and sick. Trump voters are complicit in this reality. They should feel shame. We can't be silent when an insane dictator Trump is trying to ruin America forever. We have to stand up for our rights. Trump defying a judge's clear order represents how his administration is lawless. The so-called prophets who defend Trump's every action blaspheme God. There is no excuse for Trump lying and saying that the 2020 election was stolen, there is no excuse for Trump demonizing his political opponents in vulgar terms, and there is no excuse for Trump to desire to gain Ukraine's mineral resources. There is no excuse for Trump to pardon the January 6th insurrection terrorists who assaulted police officers, waved racist Confederate and Neo-Nazi flags, some wanted to hang former Vice President Mike Pence, and used racist slurs.
Trump has invoked the Alien Enemies Act to promote his police state dictatorship. This means that Trump has deported people without due process of law. That is illegal. He is trying to deport legal residents of America too. If he is doing this now, he could try to deport American citizens. He invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act in in claiming that the people he is deporting is link to gangs with ties to the Venezuelan government. Many of those deported are already in El Salvador prisons. The gang of Tren de Aragua or TdA is what Trump is accusing these people of. Yet, he is arresting and deporting any non-citizen without judicial process. People are entitled to a hearing. El Salvador's President is the fascistic Nayib Bukele. According to Axios, the xenophobe Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller doesn't want to turn the planes back after the court tried to stop this action. Trump will probably not abide by judicial directives, because he is a dictator. Trump wants to stop the Voice of America. The Trump administration is following a similar blueprint as other fascists have done.
Decades ago, a fascist bashed legal and constitutional restraints to promote the abuse of power in Germany. The illegal abduction of Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil, a lawful permanent resident, is real. Khalil used his free speech rights to protest the genocide in Gaza. You can disagree with Khalil, but he is protected by the First Amendment to speak his mind. The Trump regime is firing innocent government workers, because he worships capitalism and human cruelty. Late last week, some Republicans and some Senate Democrats helped to pass a spending bill that will cuts tons of the social safety net. Chuck Schumer is wrong to presume that if Khalil broke the law, he should be deported. Khalil is not accused of any crime and his illegal seizure is done because he opposes imperialism and wants Palestinian people (which includes both Muslims and Christians including human beings of diverse creeds) to have equality and justice. This fascist and imperialistic agenda didn't start with Trump, but Trump has escalated the agenda. A convicted felon and habitual liar like a Resident of the White House Donald Trump should never lecture us on morality and truth.
