Thank you, Annette! 💙

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Years ago the Current Occupant of the White House, during his debate with Biden, said "Proud Boys stand back and stand by."

As they are now filling vacant ICE roles, Americans are facing more violent danger than ever before.

😟😒😖😠🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

States are cutting Medicaid provider payments long before Trump cuts hit North Carolina and Idaho have cut their Medicaid programs to bridge budget gaps, raising fears that providers will stop taking patients and that hospitals will close even before the brunt of a new federal tax-and-budget law takes effect.

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans.

Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies.

Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

Thank you, Mark!

Pretty much.🤷‍♀️

Blaming Democrats for a shutdown when you control the House, Senate, and the White House only proves you can’t govern. The Lincoln Project

And we know who was President the last time the government shut down.

And it was one of the longest shutdowns in history.

JD Vance is outright LYING when he says Democrats are giving health care to illegal immigrants in our funding bill. How do I know? Because I wrote it!

Undocumented immigrants are NOT eligible for federal health care programs. But our bill DOES stop your premiums from doubling next year.
