They use the military as a prop and a shield while acting to destroy everything the military swore an oath to defend

It should be called a โ€œquick reactionaryโ€ force. Itโ€™s notable that protests are classified as โ€œcivil unrestโ€. This is the beginning of the oppression phase of authoritarian control.

This is relevant again today. The directive just went out. Keep in mind, itโ€™s illegal for the president to use the military as police without invoking the insurrection act.

โ€˜We donโ€™t need anything more from Congressโ€™: Trump has no legislative agenda As far as the president is concerned, his legislative agenda, for all intents and purposes, no longer exists. Itโ€™s worth appreciating why.

โ€œWe got everything done,โ€ he added, โ€œI said, โ€˜Put it all into one bill and if we get it done, weโ€™re done for four years.โ€™ We donโ€™t need anything more from Congress.โ€

Zohran Mamdani is the bright future of the Democratic Party โ€” brimming with excellent ideas about what working families need.

I was delighted to chat with him earlier today.

If you're a New Yorker, don't forget to cast your vote for him by Tuesday, Nov. 4.

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I canโ€™t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Some states โ€” like California, Illinois, and New York โ€” use their own funds to provide limited healthcare to certain groups (like kids or pregnant women).
But federally? Thereโ€™s no free health insurance or Social Security for undocumented immigrants โ€” and there never has been.
