Breaking Free from MAGA: Rich Logis on Leaving the Movement
YouTube video by Adam Kinzinger Breaking Free from MAGA: Rich Logis on Leaving the Movement

Ever wonder WHY some people see MAGA as a family, and what you can do to help pull family and friends out? Take a look at this very important conversation with the founder of Leaving MAGA:

Our oldest daughter just drove by an anti-Trump protest in Kansas with three women holding signs. She was so excited to see them that she immediately sent me text.

This is just to say, your tiny protests make a difference. We see you. We are proud of you.

You cannot say you are for democracy and rule of law but give Trump a pass on constitutional and War Powers Resolution requirements. You cannot. The essence of democracy and rule of law is to uphold both despite an outcome you like.

This is not hard. Every Republican member of Congress should join Democrats in condemning this administration’s vicious arrest of Sen Padilla. β€œA Republic if you can keep it” is now.

RFK Jr. must be forced to resign for submitting bogus MAHA report with fake citations and studies that do not exist.
The health and safety of the general population is in peril.

JOINT DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP STATEMENT ON PASSAGE OF THE GOP TAX SCAM

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Whip Katherine Clark and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar just released the following statement:

While MOST Americans are struggling to afford healthcare, buy food, and purchase homes, SOME are getting $400M as a gift... Not to mention BILLIONS of tax dollars that would go into installing equipment into this thing.

All we ever asked for is affordable housing and healthcare!!

Six men charged after forcibly removing woman from North Idaho town hall The Coeur d'Alene City Attorney's Office has filed charges against six men involved in the forced removal of a woman at a Kootenai County town hall in February.

And just to draw out the logic here: Trump's goal is to stoke an environment of such enormous fear that immigrants leave the U.S, to avoid the risk of being trapped in a hellish prison camp for life, and the threat that similar tactics will be deployed on U.S. citizens keeps the rest of us in line

Sen. Van Hollen deserves a ton of praise. The rest of the Democratic party needs to look at what he's doing, stiffen their spines and fight. We can beat these fascists, but we can't "bipartisanship" our way out. We must fight.

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media hereβ€”but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

β€”With love,
Your American allies.

If your response to yesterday’s millions of people marching is that they were all paid operatives…you’re desperate, deluded, and scared.

And lying.

Now THIS is true leadership on the world stage. In stark contrast to the weak, ignorant clown we currently have in the White House.

Doge is auditing NASA today.

This is absurd. The owner of Space X should not be auditing NASA.

It’s a massive conflict of interest.

Fascism is when Donald Trump bans 1600+ vetted Afghan Muslim refugees who helped USA against the Talibanβ€”but now issues an Executive Order accepting white Afrikaner South Africans as refugees to the USA.

It was never about justice or national security. It was always about advancing white supremacy.

Save Foreign Aid

Thank you to everyone who stands with USAID. Share far and wide. Unfortunately we don’t have $40 million to buy up ads during the Super Bowl. Even if we did, we’d use it to support the U.S. economy while feeding kids around the globe.

Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly

I hope every reporter in the Capitol tomorrow hounds Republicans and asks them this question:

β€œOn what authority can Elon Musk shut down payments Congress promised to federal contractors?”
