"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

Pritzker: “We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.”

I Bet You Didn’t Know This? 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾

Abbott egged on the Jade Helm conspiracists, who claimed that a military training operation was actually Obama invading the state of Texas.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Peter Morley, patient and patient advocate mocked by congressman Jim Jordan on July 10, 2019 when Peter was testifying for congressman Elijah Cummings, who was the head of the oversight committee in Congress at the time.

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! 🤬

Gov. Pritzker: "Republicans control the federal government...Donald Trump is the guy who supposedly wrote the book 'The Art of the Deal' and says he's the greatest deal maker, and yet he's unwilling to sit down and make a deal...He wants to shutdown the government. It's wrong."

Targeting more than half the population of the US for a political reason is treason. No elected official or a member of his staff has the right to punish the American people for who they vote for. Withholding money for states that voted for Harris is tyranny and must be stopped now.

Last month Judge Diane Goodstein blocked Trump from getting your voting data in South Carolina — Today, her house explodes.

I'm not jumping to conclusions but there's something mighty fishy 🐟 about this...

They’re offering $50K signing bonuses and student debt relief for…

Teachers? No.

Nurses? No.

Fire fighters? Nope.

ICE agents. For f’ing ICE Agents.

America Needs a Project 2029 The road back from here will be harder.
