Ronald Reagan–appointed U.S. District Judge William Young: “ICE goes masked for a single reason — to terrorize Americans into quiescence… To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed, masked secret police.”

If you heard the leader of another nation threatening to unleash the military against his perceived political enemies, what would you call it?

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Call Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, and ask him why he's protecting pedofiles and childhood sex traffickers. His official DC numbers are: (202) 225-4000 and (202) 225-2777 Bossier City office: (318) 840-0309 DeRidder office: (337) 226-6385 Leesville office: (337) 423-4232 Be relentless.

The Secretary of Defense who only got the job because the president saw him on the teevee is complaining about military leaders who were promoted "for the wrong reasons"

We must document Trump’s destruction of American institutions before his corruption of the federal government becomes complete and irreversible. www.thebulwark.com/p/state-comm...

Biden in office, GOP House and Senate: DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN!! Trump in office, GOP House and Senate: DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN!! Allowing one party to control the media narrative because they’re loud and dumb is absolutely ruining people’s understanding of how anything works.

Trump has already illegally bombed 3 Venezuelan fishing boats, he has 10 warships in the region and thousands of US troops ready at a moment's notice to do another illegal regime change war. If you're a democratic politician and you aren't screaming bloody murder over this fucking resign.

If you're following the government shutdown fiasco, all dems asked for was for healthcare subsidies to not be cut (weak & soft). Trump & MAGA said fuck off, refused to negotiate, lied & said dems were trying to give healthcare to "illegals", & proceeded to blame dems for the looming shutdown anyway.

sure would be cool to have an opposition party of any kind

I kid you not. Americans are now subsidizing Argentinian soybean exports to China. At the same time. American farmers are selling none to China.

I hope our military leaders thought those speeches were as insane as the rest of us did.

Weak, broken, insecure men who get power and use it to cosplay. That's what we have.

Any solution now is going to be long & difficult. There was a super-easy solution -- just don't let the guy win the election -- but everybody had other priorities, I guess, so here we are.

America: let’s put a moronic criminal in charge of our finest men and women in uniform. Also America: let’s hope our finest men and women in uniform do not listen to the moronic criminal we put in charge of them.

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

If you think you’re having a crap day, take comfort in knowing there are multi-star Generals who were ordered to fly halfway around the world to listen to a nut job drone on about his election numbers.

100% this. To be a fly on the wall type stuff.

I talk a lot of shit. I also throw a lot of silly stuff out there. Please my friends, do not let these people make you afraid. They are the ones to be afraid. They are trying so hard to cover up their lies with bs. We are making a difference! Believe it !

Y’all. Republicans are FINE with poking holes in the filibuster. They did it ten days ago so they could confirm 48 Trump appointees at once. Don’t let them tell you they can’t pass a CR without Dems. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

“Unitary executive” sounds so much better than “dictator”, doesn’t it? Guess what word you won’t find in this NYT article? Yeah, you guessed, it’s “dictator”. And guess what phrase you won’t find when the NYT writes about, eg, Kim Jung-Un? Yeah, it’s “unitary executive.”

NEWSFLASH: ALL THE MOST POWERFUL MEN ON THE PLANET ARE IN THE EPSTEIN FILES. I don’t even need the files to tell me that. All I have to do is look at how people are acting.

It’s almost like Junior is purposely ignoring that they chose to defy congressional subpoenas 🙄🙄🙄

This is either completely made up or it’s Fetterman. Both equally plausible.

Just a reminder that the Commander-in-Chief of the Louisiana National Guard, who can call them out all by himself if they were actually needed, is … Governor Landry.

After our intervention this morning in Pennsylvania and our new lawsuit tonight in Nevada, this is now 57 voting and election cases in 25 states. I am still expecting at least 4 more this week.

"We are asking the Department of War to deploy to our cities" should be a statement that ends any Governor's political career.

Right on the prediction. Right about the reaction.

Your regular reminder that residents of Puerto Rico are American citizens. This shouldn't be a difficult concept to grasp and yet...

The Republicans' whole political gambit in this shutdown depends on the American public feeling pain—and blaming somebody else for it. The American public may not cooperate. www.thebulwark.com/p/how-to-deb...

Americans: My family needs healthcare GOP: No Americans: It is VERY important GOP: NO healthcare but here’s coal Americans: I don’t need coal GOP: It’s all we have. Wait, here’s measles. Americans: But my kid is sick GOP: The gold in the White House is 24 karat. #RemoveTrump

These people have so little self-awareness that they don’t even realize when they’re not being consistent or making sense.

The internet never forgets.

He never planned to actually fight/ defeat inflation. As always, he just lied to his supporters face’s and they ate it up. He’s a conman and has been one his entire life.

God, I hope this is true 🤣 “You have until Wednesday to swear her (Adelita Grijalva) in…or I will release your Grindr profile and your IP address. I bring receipts, bitch!” RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Perfect

We’re at peak greed when the president brags about 24k gold décor for the White House while cutting commissaries, healthcare, and social nets. A palace of glitter for him, an empty pantry and hospital bill for you.

We don’t have a government for the people we have a government for the rich only

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

This administration has literally not done a single thing to make living more affordable

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Sad, but true.
