I remember when I used to go DAYSโWEEKS EVENโwithout thinking about the President of the United States because I wasnโt worried about him starting a civil or world war, making a gestapo police force, or ripping our constitution to shreds.

Sen. Ruben Gallego says the impacts of the shutdown pale in comparison to the calamity that would ensue if the Obamacare subsidies expire: โIf we donโt get ACA tax credit extensions, over 100,000 Arizonans are going to double their premiums on their health insurance. Thatโs painful and permanent.โ

Brace yourselves America. You put him in power. Get ready for the road to fascism to accelerate at a fast pace.
Elections, rights, and freedoms are under attack โ and America is running out of time to save its democracy. Expertsโ warnings reflect a country where voter suppression, gerrymandering, corporate influence, a compliant Supreme Court, and executive overreach are eroding the foundations of democracy.

Pepper spray the Portland frog
Tear gas members of Chicago PD
Zip tie children
Grab Chicagoans from their beds in dead of the night
Open fire on a civilian in her car
Yet they say immigrants are the threat.
Protesters are the threat.
We know better.
Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?
The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.
At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.
Thereโs just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.
If we had a Congress, thereโd be investigations & oversight into this.
ICE agents are reportedly creeping around high schools in Chicago. And because they are wearing masks, often not wearing uniforms and using unmarked vehicles this means that ANYONE could show up dressed like this and disappear kids off the streets. This is especially dangerous

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families โ and weโre making that crystal clear by giving you the data.
Weโve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.
Letโs start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):
The image is an X post by Acyn (@Acyn ) from 13 hours ago, quoting Pritzker: "He's saying that Chicago is a war zone. None of that is true. They're just making this up. And then what do they do? They fire tear gas and smoke grenades, and they make it look like it's a war zone." The post includes a screenshot from CNN's "State of the Union" showing two individuals discussing, with a chyron indicating DHS officers fired at a driver who rammed their vehicle, later determined to be someone trying to storm the Presidential Palace, as the South Caucasus Coalition.
This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.
