Trump & the GOP are not just saying they don’t want undocumented immigrants to have health care — they’re saying they don’t want millions of Americans to have health care if it means any undocumented immigrant gets cared for in an ER. Not “pro-life”. #TrumpShutdown

Remember when Trump denied knowing about Project 2025 and many pundits and politicians gave him a pass? Now he’s openly embracing it.

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents. The legacy of the Roberts court.

"‘F***ing Dumbass’: Trump Officials Want Howard Lutnick Sidelined After Epstein Comments" Trump's commerce secretary called Epstein ‘the greatest blackmailer ever' & his colleagues are now super mad at him. Another scoop from Zeteo's newest reporter @swin24.bsky.social:

look at the map here -- more than 2000 protests planned already... www.nokings.org

House Oversight Ranking Member Robert Garcia has sent a letter to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick — after Lutnick called Jeffrey Epstein the 'greatest blackmailer ever' — urging him to testify before the panel about his knowledge of Epstein and his crimes.

Donald Trump wanted to give King Charles one of Dwight Eisenhower's swords. The director of the library said no. He was told to resign or be fired. WTF. No swords for Kings.

Breaking: Senate Democrats hold firm and reject the Republican-backed stopgap funding bill.

The GOP controls the House, Senate, and White House, yet they've shut down the government. It's unacceptable that military families must rely on food pantries. Our troops shouldn’t pay the price for Republican political stunts. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

Republicans in Congress are afraid: of their communities, of accountability, of Trump. They answer to him, not their constituents. Watch Rep. Alma Adams’ @adams.house.gov full interview on The Tea with April Ryan on Substack https://contrarian.substack.com/p/the-tea-w-april-ryan-ft-rep-alma

I Will NEVER FORGET Jim Jordan mocked me as a patient with chronic illness when I testified before Congress. I RISKED my health to travel & testify for the oversight committee for MILLIONS of Americans who struggle like me every day w/illness. America should be RELIEVED he was NOT elected Speaker! 🤬

BTW Congressman Chip Roy is also a piece of work. He refused to look at me or acknowledge my presence the whole time during the 3 1/2 hour hearing.

This is an EPSTEIN shutdown. Trump made 4725 wire transfers to EPSTEIN totaling more than a BILLION dollars. Follow the money back to Trump and arrest him. bsky.app/profile/naug...

Hillary Clinton: “It takes a village” to raise children Trump’s ICE: “Fuck them kids” as they rip naked children from their homes, zip tie them, put them in Uhaul vans Anyone who normalizes hurting children belongs in prison #DefundICE

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

Chris Hayes: According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an *entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

The government shutdown is based on extension of Obamacare. By a margin of 3.5 to 1, Americans agree with the Democrats.

Jack Posobiec is a voting fraudster. PA prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parent's address in Pennsylvania for years in order to vote there illegally.

Project2025 is Russia. Everything done to us in that mess, is for the benefit of Putin. Putin pays for Q-Anon to hypnotize the stupid, and it works

RUSS VOUGHT ARCHITECT OF PROJECT 2025 wants to cut $8 billion in climate funding for CA NV CT NY CO IL DE HI MA MN MD NJ NH NM OR VT WA These states generate 80% of the country's revenue And thousands of jobs Lots of Independents and Republicans in those jobs btw

Sanders: These projects have been appropriated. They were signed by a president. It is illegal to rescind them. And to say to people in Vermont, in New York and California, oh, you didn't vote for Donald Trump, we're going to take away funding that was supposed to go to your state… illegal

Yesterday Republicans told people the racist video Trump posted was just a joke But today.. Today his racism was put into practice when his ICE goons rounded up Black and Brown children in Chicago-including citizens And I bet the families of those kids aren't laughing Nor should anyone else

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

“Apple has previously removed apps from the App Store at government insistence, including an app used by protesters in Hong Kong to track the location of law enforcement.” That’s a heartwarming precedent.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Nope.
