Keeping the House Absent, Johnson Marginalizes Congress and Himself

Autocrats, at times, use the military to shut down their parliaments and rule by executive orders. That Johnson chooses to shut down Congress so willingly is just a breathtaking abdication of responsibility to represent the body politic.

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.

We warned folks about Fetterman too, but they didnโ€™t want to hear it.

Apparently, a lot has happened, but not much has changed.

Youโ€™re walking your dog on a crisp fall afternoon in Chicago. The leaves are gold, the air is calmโ€ฆ itโ€™s one of those picture-perfect moments that makes you love this city.

Then, out of nowhere, the peace shatters.

Whistles. Men in masks. Smoke rolling down your block.

You can't see

Masked men pretending to be ICE agents to assault women is just being ignored.

How long before a masked PDFile kidnaps a child?????

The President has immunity.

Now Stephen Miller is telling ICE they have federal immunity while โ€œfulfilling their dutiesโ€.

We have a dictator with a secret police force and both have immunity from prosecution.

This is fascism.

They can and will do whatever they want.

He has to at least experience the inside of a jail cell for committing Contempt viaโ€”of all thingsโ€”Assault.

If he is not locked up briefly (24 hours) he is not going to understand the severity of his conduct, nor will anyone in his entire organization.

The Department of Homeland Security is funneling $10 billion through the Navy to help facilitate the construction of a sprawling network of migrant detention centers across the US in an arrangement aimed at getting the centers built faster. https://cnn.it/4oDFP9W

Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.

The U.S. has conducted 10 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing 43 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

Heโ€™s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

This is their playbook for the midterms. Intimidation and harassment - if we are lucky it will only be that. Because their full playbook is most likely much worse but this is the warmup act.

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and theyโ€™re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

This is a really niche problem but my local farmers market does matching on snap or wic. You spend a dollar that way, you get two dollars of food. With snap not going through in november, that's even more that people aren't getting. In NOVEMBER. It's enraging.

Jeffries: "He's found time to demolish the East Wing in the most horrific way possible bc he wants to erect a ballroom so he can be celebrated like a king. He's found time for all of these different things, but somehow can't be bothered to find a dime to extend the ACA tax credits."
