It is BRAVE OF US to confront this regime.
It is BRAVE OF US to fight for our communities.
It is BRAVE OF US to move heaven and earth for our families.
It is BRAVE OF US to speak out.

if Kash can go back years and fire people for kneeling or displaying a pride flag the absolute least the next Dem admin can do is fire every one of these assholes who are assaulting people on camera

(and then prosecute them)

This feels like evidence Trump's aides are deliberately gaslighting him, which is unfortunately very easy to do with dementia sufferers (Trump did it to his father) and which aides are using to seize control of the US military for their own purposes.

Trump plan would limit disability benefits for older Americans Trump administration officials are considering eliminating age as a factor in deciding whether someone is capable of working.

Yes, Donald Trump is now finding ways to cut Social Security benefits.

Trump admits what we knew all along - the shutdown is happening because they want to repeal Obamacare by choking off funding for it. Project 2025.

"Fuck ICE" is a patriotic sentiment. Perhaps the most patriotic in this moment.

It’s Day 4 of the government shutdown, your healthcare is on the line, and Speaker Johnson is keeping the House of Representatives at home again next week.Β 

Shame on him.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement.

Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress want you to believe the lies because they need to distract you from the truth.

Millions of Americans will see their healthcare costs go up and could be forced to drop their coverage if we don’t end this shutdown in a responsible way.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

This morning, theΒ Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Young Trump voters detail frustration with him on the economy and immigration in new focus groups Many of the 14 participants voiced criticisms of Trump’s deportation program and his economic policies, but nearly all said they wouldn't change their 2024 choice.

Young 2024 Trump voters are growing frustrated with the man they voted for just 10 months ago.

They think his economy sucks, his ICE raids are cruel, and that he’s hiding something on Epstein.

This provides Democrats with a real opportunity.

Next year, a lot of folks are going to see their premiums go up $1,000 or more per month because of a Republican policy.

If you start having to pay $1,000 extra every month, what will you stop being able to afford?

This is what Democrats are fighting to stop.

🧡 Senator Chris Murphy understands the stakes. His Democratic colleagues need to catch up to him like yesterday!
β€œDems tell him they don't want to be β€˜alarmist’ or that β€˜democracy’ didn't work in 2024, so they want to stick to health care.”

Note: This isn’t even about the ACA subsidies. This is Medicare.

They’re destroying EVERYTHING.

Judge finds the Trump administration unconstitutionally targeted noncitizens over Gaza war protests A federal judge says the Trump administration unconstitutionally targeted noncitizens for deportation over pro-Palestinian protests. U.S.

In this case, discovery revealed extensive collaboration between DHS and GONGOs funded by Netanyahu's government in targeting specific students at American universities. In essence, it wasn't Marco Rubio running the targeting exercise so much as Benjamin Netanyahu.
