Trump would rather shut down the government than work with Democrats. His budget serves the 1%, not the rest of America. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Republicans Own This Shutdown Crisis open.substack.com/pub/demcastu...

The Democratic bill addresses the Republican healthcare crisis by reversing catastrophic healthcare cuts and permanently extending ACA tax credits. Meanwhile, Republicans would rather shut the government down than keep healthcare affordable. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

The State of Illinois is closely monitoring the federal deployments in the Village of Broadview. Public safety is always my top priority, and the Illinois State Police remains in close communication with the Broadview Police Department to monitor and maintain public safety.

We the People are with Chicago in demanding and end to ICE terrorism! Live-stream via @statuscoupnews.bsky.social. #Broadview #Chicago

Trump’s administration has trampled the law, withheld funds, and abused power at every turn. Now they’re threatening to shut down the government, holding workers and families hostage, unless they get their way. America deserves better. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Happening now: at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago, Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and other CBP/ICE agents emerge to patrol Beach Street and escort a vehicle out. They ordered people out of the street, walked to the end of it and then back to the fence.

Larry Ellison takes control of TikTok, it’s not just a business deal .it’s another step toward authoritarianism. I was able to access truth and history here that mainstream media often avoids because of Trump’s influence. This is about controlling the narrative….

Millions of Americans could lose health care under Trump's budget

So instead of having a Democrat, who votes with us 70% of the time, you’d have a Republican, who votes with us 0% of the time. And would give one more vote to everything Donald Trump is doing. A primary is not necessarily the right move. We just need more Democrats. 2/2

Our Social Security system is FULLY AFFORDABLE, as long as we make the wealthy pay in at the same rate as the rest of us.

This gentleman is speaking at a #VirginiaBeach school board or council meeting, not sure, but he is spot on about what is happening at the local level. Elections have consequences and it starts with local elections #TheSmellOfRot #ElectDemocrats #DV1 #ProudBlue

National Guard troops are now functioning as ICE GOONS, aggressively detaining individuals they suspect may not be American during the federal occupation of Washington, D.C.

It’s no coincidence Trump has ordered military to Portland shortly after the City of Portland’s press release stating it will issue a land use violation to the Portland ICE facility #DefundICE #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue www.portland.gov/mayor/keith-...

The White House knows exactly what it was doing when they published a list of Democrats who have used their voice to call out Trump & Miller’s ICE abuses. The list is now being used by the far right as an enemies list. It’s reckless. It’s dangerous. And it puts lives at risk.

President Donald Trump’s plan to rig the 2026 midterm election by pressuring states to create more Republican congressional seats will face a major test in a federal courtroom in El Paso, Texas starting Wednesday, as a panel of judges considers whether to block the state’s new gerrymandered map.

Trump is attacking Americans on multiple fronts. He uses the military to oppress Blue cities. He weakens our very source of FOOD by taxing farmers out of business. Trump wants to destroy us to control us. #Impeach #Convict #Remove

Thanks to Trump's reckless economic policies, Illinois' agriculture industry is facing trade disruptions that are costing farmers income and jeopardizing jobs. As we find ways to address the impact, I commend IDOA for hosting a second grain tour.

Duck you, Trump.

I'm glad to see House Democrats are pressing to get Rep-Elect Grijalva seated, because the fight over this is just a prelude to what the House Republicans will try in January 2027, when charges of "voter fraud" will lead to "serious questions" that will delay the seating of several new Democrats.

Oregon responds to Grandpa Crazy

“Oregon is our home. Keep troops off our streets.”

"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."

👀 No explanation needed.

I’ve never avoided anything as hard as Mike Johnson avoiding the Epstein discharge petition.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Donald Trump is using federal agents to stoke fear and violate constitutional rights — all with the aims of expanding his control and sending military troops to our cities. It’s unlawful and un-American. We must all stand up and speak out against fanning the flames of violence.

Clarence Thomas likens old rulings that protect our rights to trains driven by monkeys.

Too funny

Republicans don't need a single democrat to keep the government open. If the government shuts down, it's because republicans want it to.

Before you think about primarying someone in a purple or red district, consider this: The progressive you want could win the primary, but that absolutely does not guarantee that they win the general. 1/2

The Trump administration’s threat to deploy troops in Portland is unlawful. Here’s a thought. Focus on protecting the healthcare of the American people.

They are so afraid of this they won’t seat a newly elected Congresswoman from AZ to keep it from happening.

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.

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

Portland is not "war ravaged." This is delusional and dangerous. Sending troops into American cities doesn't make our communities safer — it just stokes fear and stirs up chaos. Trump is plunging further into authoritarianism every single day.

Those Epstein files must be atrocious

Last Saturday in Dowtown #warravagedportland. So scary that we shopped and had lunch.

Save healthcare

Trump just canceled his meeting with Democrats as the shutdown looms. Let’s be clear: Trump and Republicans control the White House and Congress. Any shutdown is 100% their leadership failure. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

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

The President of the United States claims to have authorized the military to use lethal force on US citizens, and there’s not a single Republican who has the balls to tell him that’s both illegal and morally wrong.
