Portland is not a war zone.
Chicago is not a war zone.
LA was not a war zone.
DC was not a war zone.

This weekend, the president of the United States stood in front of the United States Navy, and said that people that didn’t vote for him were β€œenemies from within.”

Trump admin officials continue to call every criticism a β€œthreat” and immediately go to federal law enforcement or the military as their first option to respond to it - suppressing the right to dissent against the government by threatening people with incarceration for speech.

If this country was truly β€œpro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about β€œlife.”

It’s about control.

These so-called "DEMOCRAT AGENCIES"...

-Ensure our food is safe to eat
-Keep our air and water clean
-Alert us to natural disasters
-Protect us from financial fraud and scammers

Remember what Trump is actually attacking.

Unfit for Office Donald Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

"No president in recent memoryβ€”and likely no president everβ€”has prompted more discussion about his mental stability and connection with reality."

Minority Voters Argue Texas Gerrymander Driven By Race as Hearing Kicks Off Read more here.

President Donald Trump pressured Texas Republicans this summer to draw a new map creating five more GOP seats in Congress β€” at the expense of Texas minority voters, who will no longer be able to elect the candidates of their choice and will see their political strength greatly diminished.

Rob Wittman spent the night of the shutdown eating steak with his rich donors. Meanwhile, the shutdown he and the GOP caused means soldiers and federal workers in his district will struggle to feed their families. Call his office at (202) 225-4261 and ask why.

They’re literally admitting it. Trump’s crew plans β€œfurther harm” during this shutdown. Holding America hostage to get their way. They own this!!

Mississippi has had to declare a public health emergency due to the concerning increase in the infant mortality rate.

To put it into perspective, Dr Warren explained that this very concern increase in infant mortality rate translates to about 20,000 infant deaths a year.

Even with a farmer bailout, if there is no market for beans, there is no incentive to plant next year.

I’m not a farmer. I didn’t vote for Trump. But the only two businesses we have left in my town revolve around corn and beans. My town will fold. My school will close. It’s over for us.

ICE agents have been abducting our neighbors, brutalizing protesters, and operating with impunity. Tomorrow I will be speaking alongside other local leaders at 1930 Beach St in Broadview, IL. Tell your elected officials to take a stand alongside us.

This was always the plan.

Project 2025 was Donald Trump's blueprint to seize unchecked power within the federal government and restrict Americans' freedoms. And he is implementing it right in front of our eyes.
