NEW: Congress is poised to slash the budget for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives by more than a quarter, or $418 million. New York’s gun shop owners are wary about the loss of federal oversight.

They are cutting the FBI, ATF and non-ICE federal law enforcement to build their loyal secret police.

And, the the GOP can point to the stats to say, "See! We told you the Dem controlled cities weren't safe; we NEED to take over."

But that’s the whole point - authoritarian regimes thrive when they can instil fear and violence.

Isn't the point to get the plebs to kill each other off and leave more for them?

Don't give the GOP members of Congress a minute of peace. You have a right to call anyone in Congress. Here's the senator phone list. There are 53 Republican Senators Call every day. Ok to call off hours and blow up their VM. 202.224.#### Be vocal. Be visible. Be disruptive. Make the calls

The federal government is encouraging Blue Staters to sight in their rifles and crank up the drones for some Ukrainian style defiance

Trump is hyper funding ICE and defunding all other federal law enforcement so he can have his own secret police force. Trump is FASCIST to the core. United States Republican Senators and House members, and the Supreme Court are COMPLICIT in transforming our democracy into a totalitarian state.

To be fair, the ATF has been a big problem for organized crime. I'm glad the Trump family is getting rid of a problem upstream, before they're getting accused of things like gun trafficking, instead of afterwards. This shows rare awareness of planning for the future by the Trump Crime Family.
