This strikes me as pretty bad

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

We Found the ‘Enemy from Within’ He’s in the White House

“The “enemy from within” is Donald Trump.”

"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

AOC "I think 'Abolish ICE' is a call to action on several levels. One is the literal interpretation of abolishing ICE, which I support...I don't believe that an agency that systematically & repeatedly violates human rights, I don't think that agency can be reformed. I think it has to be abolished."

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

Ferlinghetti: “Pity the nation whose leaders are liars
Whose sages are silenced
and whose bigots haunt the airwaves”

ICE officers stopped a family at gunpoint and smashed the car window on top of the newborn baby. “I was screaming that there was a baby,” cried the mother. “But they didn’t care,” and covered the baby with their bodies, fearing that the glass would hurt him.

Treasury Department Has Plans To Mint Dollar Coin Featuring Donald Trump's Likeness | Defector The United States Department of the Treasury has developed, to the brink of production, a dollar coin that features the face and likeness of President Donald Trump, according to a source within the Tr...

Julius Caesar was the first Roman to put his own living face on coins, weeks before his death. It is one of the deepest cultural signifiers of something autocracies do and republics do not.

“Render unto Caesar.” A practice so notoriously arrogant Jesus himself dunked on it with snarky wordplay.

I love that so many of our elected officials are posting images and video from Portland to show how beautiful it is. We love our community. Check out this one from US senator from Oregon @wyden.senate.gov on a 10pm night walk around downtown PDX. #warravagedportland #wartornportland

ICE agents dragged naked children out of homes in Chicago: Neighbors Two residents reported witnessing federal immigration agents forcibly removing unclothed children from apartments during the raid.

This makes me physically ill. I have never cried more than I have for the last 10 months over al the cruel and vile things this admin is doing.

Hmmm 🤔

This is simple. Congress should not willingly pay the bills to fund the most serious assault on political freedom in our lifetime - an assault that may collapse democracy as we know it if we don't fight back.

Cool, cool.

Join us Kristi Noem!

9AM Press Conference at 1930 Beach St

I’m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...

Good work

Yesterday the President told his generals to turn the military against American citizens. Later in the day, he shut down the government.

He's two thirds into the first year of a four year term.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'?

JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said.

S: Those are quotes

Wes Moore: “A prerequisite to keeping the government open should not be cutting people off of healthcare. My message to President Trump is clear. Stop this shutdown. You’re the one causing it. We’re the ones dealing with it.”

Elizabeth Warren: "If fighting to reduce the cost of healthcare and avoid a coming catastrophe is not worth fighting for, then I don't know what is."

AOC: "This will experiences the consequences of this, but we have to be the consequence. Which is why we have to stand tall right now alongside everyday Americans who want us to be standing up."

More pointedly, the pope said, "Someone who says, I'm against abortion, but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says, I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

FYI. If the Govt shuts down, everyone stays in town including the president but you’re just bored with nothing to do because it’s all messaging and negotiations.

GREAT TIME TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
