Over 800 top military brass sat quietly as Trump declared a new "war from within" — an American battlefield he claimed was more dangerous than any foreign war zone. Trump eviscerated decades of civil-military restraint and proclaimed the armed forces his weapon of choice against domestic "enemies."

Health insurance premiums for plans bought over the ACA marketplace will ⬆️ 114% on average if enhanced subsidies expire. Dems pushed to extend the tax credits as part of a deal to avert a government shutdown but the GOP said NO. ~22 million people receive enhanced subsidies. #RepublicanShutdown

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

JUST IN: A U.S. citizen from Alabama who has been detained twice by ICE while working at a construction site, has filed a class action suit claiming ICE's broad warrantless arrest powers violate the constitution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

And he said this out loud and in public...

Hillary's Right Again ! Chump has lined His Pockets with $4-5 Billion In Income For Himself, While We All Get Zilch in Absolutely Everything 💯.........

YOU are Surrounded

🚨Breaking: I led a letter with Senators Durbin, Blumenthal, Duckworth, and Rep Ramirez demanding an independent investigation into the killing of Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez by an ICE officer. Our communities deserve transparency and accountability for the deadly actions of DHS personnel.

Isn’t declaring war on your own country enough grounds to get him handcuffed and tried for treason? - Pattybluehayes

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

Gov. Pritzker: "ICE is running around harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago that was illegal in the United States. Now, #ICE is making it commonplace. That’s not making America great."

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

I expect that my law firm will intervene to fight against the Department of Justice in two more lawsuits today. We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.💪🗳️⚖️

There is no money for cancer research, no money for the deaf and blind children program, and not enough money for healthcare, Social Security, and Medicare, but there is enough money to give $20 billion to Argentina.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

The UCMJ requires ALL service members to obey all lawful orders. It forbids the following of all unlawful orders (such as firing on unarmed civilians) This was pounded into our heads in boot camp. The orange turd and his secretary of war want to do away with it so they can shoot peaceful protesters

Pistal Pete says FA FO fuck around and find out We say UCMJ Uniform code of military justice Pete should read it sometime. He might learn something although I seriously doubt it.

What? This is crazy, so disqualifying!

After our intervention this morning in Pennsylvania and our new lawsuit tonight in Nevada, this is now 57 voting and election cases in 25 states. I am still expecting at least 4 more this week.

WE WONT STOP TRUMP ✨✨✨REPOST✨✨✨

ANOTHER PROTEST IS COMING!!! ✨✨✨REPOST✨✨✨

RESIST AMERICA 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸 ✨✨✨REPOST✨✨✨

FELON TRUMPS ICE MAGOT GOONS ARE BREAKING THE LAWS EVERYWHERE!!! ✨✨✨REPOST✨✨✨

The orange turd has now stooped to using highly classified information from Military files about veterans running for office and feeding to their Republican opponents. A veteran who had a top secret clearance is particularly vulnerable because they were investigated by the FBI to get the clearance

Have you heard about the miracle cure all being pushed by the orange turd and RFK Jr. it’s called the “Med Bed” they claim that lying in this bed will cure any illness that comes your way. We don’t need no stinking healthcare!

The orange turd’s dementia has been accelerating at light speed. Soon it will become impossible to ignore even by his MAGA followers and flunkies

The orange turd has now stupidly turned to putting false words in the mouths of his opponents. He published a phony conversation between Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffrys after their meeting in the Oval Office.

They are not even bothering a basic disinformation campaign regarding the “war ravaged” conditions in Portland or pretending that they are trying to be the good guys: just flat out staying they are invading a peaceful Democratic city because they can.

⏰️ Wake-up Rural Ohio! #OhioBlues

The map in Ohio was ruled unconstitutional repeatedly. It is still being used. Courts and elections won't save us or end the Christian Nationalist (ie. NAZI) takeover of America.

This man is a true patriot!

Oregon AG Dan Rayfield: "California, DC, Memphis, potentially Illinois, now Oregon - this normalization that you can use the US military in our cities. That is un-American & every place that it happens, you will see Democratic attorneys general standing up, drawing a line in the sand & saying, 'No'"

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 25 states. I expect that we will add another 5-6 this week. Please pay attention to what is happening to see and fair elections and democracy in court!

PUT THIS NUMBER ON YOUR REFRIGERATOR- ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! ✨✨✨REPOST✨✨✨

RECORD THEM ALL - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AMERICA!!! ✨✨✨REPOST✨✨✨

Shame

Data consistently shows that red states have higher violent crime and murder rates than blue states. This disparity has been true for at least two decades and defies the common political narrative that crime is largely an issue in liberal-led cities.

Nothing changes if you don't vote. Everyone is counting on you to do your part.
