Sign says “ANTIFO Anti Federal Occupation”

Currently at the ICE facility in portland, OR. Some far right agitators have posted plans online to attack the mutual aid stations and take over the area at 7:00.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

I wouldn’t advise anyone in Portland to walk your dog near this building.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

We can’t out-Republican Republicans, nor should we want to.

Democrats need to say what they believe — and actually believe in something.

As the federal judge in Oregon recognized, “this is a nation of Constitutional law not martial law”. Within 24 hours we will be filing a legal challenge to the President’s unlawful deployment of the National Guard.

John Oliver: "If ICE can bother some guys at a roofing job, bystanders can bother ICE at their state-sanctioned kidnapping job."

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

Yes, very weird. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

The Frog mocking ICE GOONS 😂

This is fascism.

Spot on.

So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down.

The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed.

And they get another vacation

Kristi Noem is mad they wouldn’t let her in to use the restroom in Illinois today.

A week after her win in Arizona, @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social still has not been sworn in by Speaker Johnson

In speeches, Vought spoke of “demoralizing federal workers to the point that they don’t want to do their jobs.”

“.. we want them to not want to go .. because they are.. viewed as the villains,” he said. “We want to put them in trauma.”

BREAKING: Trump is seeking $10 BILLION+ for a farmer bailout.

Why the hell is my money going to bail out people who voted for Trump, who hurt them financially?

Meanwhile he's taking healthcare away from people who need it.

Sen. Coons: “You can only benefit from the Affordable Care Act, Medicare, and Medicaid if you have legal status in this country. We are not fighting for health care for people here illegally. That’s not true. We are fighting for health care for Americans.”

The Department of Energy has now banned the following words and phrases:

climate change, green, decarbonization, energy transition, clean energy, emissions, sustainability, tax breaks, carbon footprint.

This is dystopian and should terrify anyone paying attention.

And they still haven't lowered grocery prices

Rieckhoff: A vet on CNN said we haven’t fought to win in 20 years. I said, I was fighting to win. You were fighting to win.

Kander: That shit pisses me off.

Rieckhoff: He said he meant the generals. Which one? It’s boogeymen—and now cosplay warriors who never served join ICE to bully immigrants.

Let me be clear: this will impact ALL of us. It’s bigger than just Medicaid & Medicare. We will all pay the price.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement
