We havenโ€™t forgotten, no matter how many distractions you throw our way.

Republicans havenโ€™t been fiscally responsible since Nixon. Itโ€™s a charade to get the rubes to vote for them while they work to destroy the liberal programs that laid the foundation for a strong nation.

They actively sabotage America to satisfy their hatred for others.

In under 12 months the US National debt has accelerated to $38 trillion with the Lying Thief's regime.

The Criminal has pocketed approx. $1.8 billion while raping the US.

He is destroying the country & the planet, to feed his insatiable greed.
Get rid of this destructive, selfish, egomaniac.

This is just the final execution of decades of their planning and work.

Make no mistake, this is the America Republicans want: a corrupt, white supremacist patriarchy that only works for the wealthy.

Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown

If Thatโ€™s a donation, it goes to the treasury and only congress can decide how to spend it. No such (lawful) thing as private payment of government obligation.

Letโ€™s be clear here. Christianity only became the religion it is today through fear.
You were either a Christian or a heretic.
The latter would have you killed.

It still works on this premise. Itโ€™s more about hate and control.

This is what Christianity has always been.

Itโ€™s never been loving

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These arenโ€™t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

He may not want you to hear it, but this is the original audio, sourced directly from the Reagan Library.

Donโ€™t let him erase history โ€” like he already did when he tore down part of the White House.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

This need to be reported to the ICC and Hague. Let them figure out what to do with Trumpโ€™s lawlessness.

Of that 36%:

- some did not vote.
- some tried to legally vote and were disrupted by the system.
- some legally voted and had their ballots thrown out.

Until we make voting an easy and transparent process, that number wonโ€™t get lower.

FYI :โ€œDestruction of federal property is a federal crime. 18 U.S. Code ยง 1361 defines the crime as willfully injuring or committing any depredation against U.S. government property. If the damage exceeds $1k it is a felony with a fine, up to ten years in prison or both.โ€

Awaiting law enforcement.

The Republican Partyโ€™s strategy is the same as ransomware: lock it up, demand concessions, blame the victim.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

One day the White House โ€œballroomโ€ will be a museum cataloguing this countryโ€™s descent into autocracy, including horrors we have yet to see.

โ€œThe president demolished the White House.โ€

โ€œThe president politicized the FBI and DOJ to go after his opponents.โ€

โ€œThe president is why life is more expensive today.โ€

โ€œThe president was besties with Epstein.โ€

Messaging isnโ€™t hard and makes you wonder why Dems arenโ€™t saying this every day.

Standing up to a wannabe dictator is patriotic.

Protecting health care for Americans is patriotic.

Defending workers who make our country run is patriotic.

Saying no to troops occupying our cities is patriotic.

Peacefully protesting to protect our democracy is patriotic.

Rubio, in a chummy chat with Bukele, vowed to hand over MS-13 thugs turned U.S. snitches, ditching their protection for Trump's Salvadoran prison swap sham. Betrayal as statecraft. #HumanRightsAbuse

The thing about No Kings the GOP doesn't seem to get isn't that we hate you as much as it is that we recognize you for what you are.

You're a threat. You're a threat to our lives, our livelihoods, our families, our friends.

We WILL drive you out of power. You haven't given us any other choice.
