🚨🚨🚨 The Broadview Fire Chief just told HLS that the fence they installed without a permit or authorization poses a risk to those the fire department serves; that they removed the fence to preserve the lives of their community. 💥

Thinking to themselves about Hegseth and their Commander in Chief - This Cub Scout and draft dodger are telling us our jobs? The enemy within is on that stage.”

May they continue to remember their oath to the Constitution. 💙

I'll romanticize them once they refuse to follow his illegal orders. Until then, they're just sitting placidly.

Do all y'all remember this - the last Trump shutdown that lasted 35 days....all because he wanted $5B for his border wall? And he didn't get it because things got sticky? And this 2025 shutdown is from: Rich men wanting to loot the government dry and steal our money Epstein files. Good times!

Hegseth speech was the worst things my eyes have ever seen. All of the things he said were so bad and caused extreme douche chills. The way he chose to pace and point to the camera was so unbelievably cringe. All so rehearsed and yet so very very bad. Pete Hegseth is the secretary of douche

Im not really loving how they changed the name to the Department of War, and then told senior military leadership that the enemy is “within.”

NEW: Far-right sheriffs and election deniers are teaming up to police elections and sow doubt about their integrity. From seizing voting machines to patrolling ballot boxes, their tactics offer a glimpse into how Trump could use them to subvert elections.

Agreed. But let’s refuse to get “used to it.” It is absolutely insane, it’s wrong, it’s un-American, and let’s always be righteously pissed off about it.👇

"That was the whole point of the event. It had nothing to do with improving our national security and military readiness. It was a role-play session for undeserving straight, white guys who could never hack it and resent those who could."

“The fat man and the drunk always make us laugh.”

i was invited to a gathering tonight and initially wasn’t gonna go because every extra thing feels like so much these days but i made myself go and i’m so glad i did because it turns out community is so fucking important right now

Here’s 3 full minutes of @kaitlancollins trying to get @SpeakerJohnson to admit undocumented people can’t get federal health care, and Johnson repeating the lie over and over anyway. Republicans are kicking people off insurance then lying about who they’re doing it to.

Yet, he’s ok being that role model for his son who spends hours daily putting on makeup!

Rieckhoff: And if you watched that speech, you'd think that our enemies are fat generals, the city of Portland, Trump's political enemies and DEI

GOP: We will give Dems ZERO input on our budget. Also GOP: Dems MUST vote YES to fund our shitty budget. Republicans are awful at governing. All they do is take away programs and protections that millions of Americans PAID FOR and rely upon. #RepublicanShutdown #FDT #ETTD #CorruptGOP

What will the generals and admirals do? No doubt they have plenty of physical courage – but will they have enough moral courage?

This is now Trump’s America. So freaking sad

Why can’t we have nice things, too, instead of more spread of preventable diseases?

Every ranking military official in attendance today should stay in their positions. Force Trump, Miller and Kegseth to "purge" them. Make it public. Each episode will be a disaster and rile up veterans and the majority.

America should not have to pay the price for Pete Hegseth falling short in every single human endeavor.

Pete Hegseth's tirade is a self-report. He wants to abuse. He wants to hurt. He wants violence. Pete Hegseth is dangerous for America and for the entire world.

“There's more mentions of Donald Trump in the Epstein Files than there are House Republicans here in Washington D.C. today.” Rep. Greg Casar

If you target just Democrats than they can sue you for discrimination.

Just cuz he figures there aren't enough lawsuits for wrongful termination.

Every Democrat that will be laid of do to this shutdown, needs to unite and bring a CLASS ACTION SUIT against this incompetent twat!

Pete Hegseth thinks it's masculine to be violent. Let that sink in. We have a perseverated prepubescent sadist with impulse control disorder as SecDef.

If you were in the room during Hegseth and Trump's speech, and you'd like to share your response anonymously, reach out to me on Signal (in bio.) Share widely.

Trump imposes tariffs on prescription drugs beginning October 1st. Now he's creating a website called TrumpRx. Interesting timing don't you think? Trump always needs a piece of the action. I don't know about you but I smell a grift coming. #DefendersofDemocracy

75% 🤬 I’m not alone, but we pay over $19K/year for insurance through the ACA for my daughter, my wife, and myself. Like millions of other Americans, we are bracing ourselves to be priced out. We don’t need to just save healthcare. We need to make it better and affordable. #DonaldTrumpsShutdown

Veterans, their friends, their families, let's unite. Let's stand up for the country against tyranny. We need them with us, the majority.

The Republicans want the shutdown so they can fire everyone. I think this goes to confirm that. Sad times.

The reaction to Trump’s speech on the GOP side is pretty hilarious. It’s generally “what the fuck was that and why did anyone think it was a good idea?” But they’ll get out on Fox News and talk about how great it was.

TrumpRX??!! Are you fucking kidding me…. 1) Direct to Consumer purchasing helps a limited number of ppl. While it bypasses insurance & that may sound appealing, you’re buying directly from the govt now… and they have a running record of what meds you are taking. www.northjersey.com/story/news/2...

Look at their faces. WTF is written all over every single one. Some had to travel 1000s of miles to hear Kegsbreth tell them not to be fat, hairy or woke & Felonious the First to tell them he expects them to play a role in attacking fellow Americans.

I’m an Australian in Australia and I’m absolutely appalled. And very worried.

Can't stress enough how much the army Pete Hegseth yearns for already exists in Russia... and demonstratively sucks.

This is an illegal use of taxpayer resources. Hatch Act violation.

The enemy within = those who don't comply. Those who RESIST! Trump Tells Generals the Military Will Be Used to Fight ‘Enemy Within’. www.msn.com/en-us/news/u... #SheShed The warnings went out, but people didn't believe them or stayed home instead of voting. If that's you FUCK YOU!

BREAKING NEWS: Following a push by Ranking Member Robert Garcia, the independent watchdog at the National Archives is launching an investigation into the Trump Administration illegally meddling in the New Jersey governor's race.

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.

📌Any flag officer who wasn't deeply disturbed and insulted watching that unhinged, fascist crap from Hegseth and Trump today isn't worth the uniform she or he is wearing.

Read this whole thread on the problems with Hegseth's speech today. But I think the silence of the crowd BADLY undercut the effort. How much do you want to show on TV that no one responded?

One side of the room Democrats are ready to debate and vote on a CR that protects Americans healthcare for the people but the other side of the room is completely empty the republican speaker walked out on his job for The Billionaires

I have never seen such a blistering rebuke of a President by a federal judge. He is telling us clearly to stand up for our liberty against a dictator. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth invited the entire military leadership of the U.S. to Quantico to demand treason. They called our citizens “the enemy within” and promised to use American cities as “training grounds for warfare.” This is how republics die. www.mind-war.com/p/full-metal...
