🚨 “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

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'? JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said. S: Those are quotes

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

ICE targets Democratic congressional candidate—who fights for disabled rights and relies on a wheelchair. "Agent didn't say anything, just came over and body checked me," she said. "I was tackled and my face just smashed into the ground super hard." Amanda Siebe in Portland, Oregon.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

🗣️THIS is the message!! Brava, Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social!!

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the Minnesota Alliance for Retired Americans Educational Fund and a recently naturalized citizen and voter, my law firm has moved to intervene against a DOJ lawsuit seeking access to the state's voter registration data. www.democracydocket.com/cases/minnes...

CNBC: Is it true that you want to restore American taxpayer benefits to illegal immigrants. JEFFRIES: This is also an outright lie. Federal law prohibits the use of taxpayer dollars to provide medical coverage to undocumented individuals. That's the law.

Ok. So. A lot of congress will say they “submitted a letter to forgo pay during shutdown.” Congress is paid once a month so they have 30 days. Secondly, they want you to believe they are saying they will give up their pay. No. They just hold it until it reopens

BREAKING: Governor Pritzker calls for the removal of Donald Trump as President by invoking the 25th amendment. EVERY governor should stand behind the Illinois governor. Governor Pritzker also cited health concerns for the president. He is clearly not well. youtu.be/Dt4mrxNWQWs?...

And after 40 minutes of cringe-Thunderous applause from the generals! Just kidding. Total silence. 👀 🦗 🦗

If things weren’t bad enough already, Republicans in control of Congress are shutting down the government. Why? Because Donald Trump opposes making health care more affordable for millions of Americans.

HEY CORPORATE MEDIA, Say it with me. Your headline is REPUBLICAN CONGRESS FAILS TO FUND GOVERNMENT: SHUTDOWN IMMINENT Let me know if you need any help with this

The gaslighting is wild. THEY control the White House, the House, and the Senate—yet always find a way to blame Democrats for their mess. The so-called “$1.5 trillion wish list” is about protecting health care, food assistance, and housing. (1/2)

Republicans don’t need a single Dem vote to keep the government open. Yet here is the banner at HUD today.

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 headlines from NBC News: "Trump says military is bringing back a new 'focus on fitness'." That's what your news media decides to emphasize. Not running minorities and women out of the military. Not threatening U.S. citizens.

EXCLUSIVE: Vulnerable Republican Rob Wittman was caught fundraising at an expensive D.C. restaurant instead of doing his job to stop a government shutdown. He also claimed Republicans were working today, but they weren’t on the floor.

Democracy is at stake, and California voters get a chance to save it. Vote Yes on 50 - a temporary redistricting to offset the power grab by Trump and Texas politicians who re-gerrymandered Texas to get more House seats We put this sign on our front deck #VoteYesOnProp50

Fetterman & Cortez Masto chose betrayal over backbone, voting with Republicans to shred health care protections. There isn’t a middle ground on life & death. Hold the damn line with your party! @fetterman.senate.gov @cortezmasto.senate.gov

Dear @apnews.com The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once. Fix your headline.

Mike Johnson continues to refuse to swear in a Democrat who won in a landslide.

As public health federal workers we support a shut down as a negotiating tool to keep Americans on their health insurance. We are prepping to go without pay. We are readying our documents in case Vought uses a shut down to illegally fires us. Dems, hold the line.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Can't we just get healthcare

He wants to dictate what the press can say. What a university can teach. Whom a company can employ. And to whom the law shall apply. He who wants all this is not a president, But strives to be a dictator. And all who succumb are not citizens, But subjects.

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks. This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

Oregon AG Rayfield: I know for a fact, from talking to cities across Oregon, that if you pick up the phone and ask, “What could be helpful?” the answer would not be the United States military.

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

Friends — Something happened this week. I don't know if you heard it, but I sure did. I believe that America's Sleeping Giant is beginning to awaken. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-sleeping-giant-is-awakening

And Nosferatu had to ask why 😏

how many of these cowards does it take to capture one man? ONE MAN?

What do you call the leader of a country who, for no reason at all, puts the military on the country’s streets and uses that military against the country’s citizens? A fascist. Yes, a fascist. That’s what you would call that leader.

Billionaires are using the anger of the working man to keep themselves in power to get richer on their backs. It’s been a massive scam

What's happening with the government shutdown? Simply put, Republicans are holding the government hostage to get their extreme agenda passed. Democrats are fighting for a fair budget that benefits everyone. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

If a full accounting of Epstein’s crimes - and his accomplices - is ever made public, people on the left and the right are going to feel really dumb that we’ve been arguing with each other while the elites of both parties pal around and do abhorrent shit.

When you pardon hundreds of convicted right wing terrorists Then work to manfacture a "but dangerous left wing terrorists" narrative so you can declare martial law and block the 2026 election It's on boys & girls! It. Is. On. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

let's get real: James Comey FUCKING SUCKS and isn't our friend. but that doesn't mean we shouldn't all be HORRIFIED that Donny Convict is using the government to persecute his political enemies — because the fuckery doesn't stop with Comey. who will be next? please read my post here: bit.ly/3Ii1zsv
