⁨Millions of American families will pay double for their insurance when they sign up for their new plans this fall. Donald Trump is content to do nothing about it. Democrats are fighting to end this Republican health care crisis.⁩

As the Disney/ABC/Kimmel situation demonstrated, targeted boycotts against Trump’s enablers, with clear demands, can be a more effective strategy than a general strike. Today’s No Mercy / No Malice: www.profgalloway.com/strike/

Cancel the Cuts. Lower the Cost. Save Healthcare 👨🏽‍⚕️👩🏻‍⚕️🏥

Naked children torn from their mothers and tossed into vans. U.S. citizens detained for hours in zip ties. Doors kicked in and belongings stolen or destroyed. This is the reality of Trump’s deportation agenda. It was always about cruelty.

Trump continues to hide behind deepfake videos. Meanwhile. Democrats are fighting to protect your healthcare. #DonaldTrumpsShutdown

The government is shut down, but my offices are open and ready to help you. Do you have questions about the shutdown and how it might impact you? Visit my Government Shutdown FAQ page:

Release the jobs report. And while you’re at it, release the Epstein files.

The GOP health care for immigrants lie is an old one. Here’s me six years ago:

Keeping facts as FACTS. Not the BS lies peddled by MAGA sycophants in Congress.

Minnesota: Split bipartisan legislature. Kept the government open. Invested in improving lives. Responsible budget cuts. Washington: Republicans control House, Senate, Oval Office. Government shutdown. Driving up health care costs by thousands. Skyrocketing national debt.

The last 3 shutdowns were all under Trump/GOP control. The GOP can’t govern, and America knows it.

"During the Biden administration, there were 26 deaths in 48 months—roughly one death every two months. During Trump’s term, that rate has nearly quadrupled." Immigrants are dying in detention in unprecedented numbers. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-moral-...

How humiliating

When you see how excited Trump, Russ Vought, and Republicans are about the government shutdown, it becomes pretty obvious the reason why they refused to negotiate a compromise with Democrats is because they wanted this and they completely own this, regardless of their lies.

Crockett actually gets the field of play right now. It doesn’t matter what they fund. Trump can just cancel what he doesn’t like and Congress won’t say shit.

With TikTok’s potential sale to a group of Donald Trump allies, “we should be far less worried about what foreign governments could do with our social-media information than about how our own government might abuse it,” David Karpf argues.

"Trump restarted the program last March and awarded the contract to Boeing, which, in turn, dubbed their new plane the 'F-47' as a way of honoring Trump. (Get it? The 47th president?)" Decline is a choice. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-depart...

The Trump administration has sent letters to nine universities demanding that the schools pledge their support for President Donald Trump’s political agenda if they want to keep their federal funding.

Q: How did the White House decide it was appropriate for Jared Kushner to be working on matters that involve Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia -- 3 countries combined that have given him more than $2.5b LEAVITT: It's frankly despicable that you're trying to suggest that it's inappropriate

Q: When does the administration see it as appropriate to demand equity stakes or revenue streams from American companies?

Vought: Mass firings will begin "in a day or two."

JD Vance: "On the sombrero thing, Hakeem Jeffries said it was racist. And I don't even honestly know what that means. Like, is he a Mexican-American that is offended?"

I’ve lived through government shutdowns. Under normal circumstances, I understand why compromises are made to keep the government running. These are not normal circumstances.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

The silence of the generals was the right reaction. Can everybody else react the correct way too? www.thebulwark.com/p/the-silenc...

Federal workers are about to have their livelihoods upended because of this shutdown. We'll hear talk about "sacrifices" that the American people need to make. Meanwhile, Trump is bailing out Argentina with $20 billion worth of taxpayer dollars.

BASH: Do you think the executive branch should use this shutdown as an excuse to permanently fire federal workers? MIKE JOHNSON: Well I can tell you right now that the president has been a benevolent president. He is mitigating the harm right now.

Rep. Lieu: “Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth were expecting rousing applause and standing ovations from our nation's generals, and they were met with silence…The generals knew that what Trump was saying was wrong. We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our cities.”

People always used to ask, "How low will Republicans go to protect and pander to Donald Trump?" Thanks to Ted Cruz, we now have our answer.
