The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory! Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation. This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

After some of the biggest health care cuts in American history, Trump and his Republicans are now promoting one of the biggest health care cost increases in American history. They can lie to our faces all they want, but that’s what the GOP's government shutdown is all about.

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans. Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies. Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

History repeats.

Spot on.

Trump’s former “spiritual advisor.”

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

🚨 “They put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

Thank you Gov Newsom!

There is nothing he won't destroy to cover his ass on his crimes with Epstein. NOTHING.

History has many painful lessons.

Swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva. Release the Epstein files. Expose and punish pedofiles.

Don’t stop rubbing their noses in the teachings of Christ.

The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee has called for an investigation over the White House's shutdown messaging.

This is what Trumpism has wrought.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

They’re baaack. 🤣 Repairs and all…

Sounds like we’re in Russia!

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it. But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

Today, I'm signing legislation to safeguard our elections and the voice of every voter. It's now illegal to use contests or payments to get people to register to vote. And in the 2026 election, voters have the chance to repeal our state's ban on the public financing of elections.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

The President is unwell. PBS comments: “his remarks were rambling and incoherent,” in multiple appearances. The Guardian calls some of his speeches “baffling” and “weirder than ever.” Cambridge analysis says that his statements often require “translation” or annotation to make sense.

Elizabeth Warren: "The president said 'I am going to impose a lot more pain on my fellow American citizens. I'm going to impose a lot more pain on people in NY who need to use those tunnels so I can get my way politically.' To me, that is a place to stop & say, then we're ready to fight about this"

GUARD IN MEMPHIS: The TN Supreme Court & a federal court have both ruled it is unconstitutional for TN’s governor to deploy the National Guard for law enforcement. In 2021, TN’s GOP Attorney General wrote an advisory saying the same. It was so damning, the new AG secretly erased it from record!

Where’s the money?

Oh, that’s a good one.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen to Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones: "In New Hampshire we do not provide health insurance for illegal immigrants, we have never done that, and you are just wrong."

Gov is shutdown. Let’s see who picks it up this time 🤣

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

Stephen Miller, a man no one elected, is behind the Venezuelan boat strikes which have killed 17 people. He should not be making military decisions. He should not be executing strikes that take lives. Only silver lining? He has no immunity. He can (and should) be prosecuted for his crimes.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Khanna: "We have to understand how abnormal this is. You don't mock someone and put a video out about how they look. You don't ever mock people's ethnicity. How do you negotiate with that? And how have we made this normal?"

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek in Portland: "I will not be approving utilization of the Oregon national Guard. The President does not have the authority to deploy federal troops on State soil."

🚨BREAKING: Another mass shooting. Another white man. Not a trans person. Not a migrant. Not a Democrat. Well, well, well… funny how quiet they get when it’s one of their own. Real patriotism means ending the violence, not inciting it like this administration does. #BlueCrew #Resist #antimaga

There has been TWO mass shootings today and this is what he’s thinking about…

Andy McCarthy: "The indictment almost fails as an indictment in that it doesn't give you notice of what Comey has actually done. But factually there's nothing there. So this smacks of wanting to put Comey through the process, which is what lawfare is."
