Jeffries: "Republicans enacted permanent tax breaks for the wealthy, well-off, and well-connected. Permanent tax breaks. And now the nerve of these people to say to us that 'we do not have the time or inclination to address the ACA tax credits for working-class Americans'"

Protecting health care for millions of Americans, hundreds of thousands of Californians, and tens of thousands of San Diegans is WORTH THE FIGHT.

Trump tells sailors not to β€˜worry about’ paychecks as shutdown continues All troops will miss a paycheck if Congress does not agree on a deal to reopen the government before Oct. 15, the next pay date for the military.

President Trump told sailors not to worry about their paychecks amid the government shutdown, saying he'll β€œalways stand for” service members, and pay is β€œcoming.”

But all troops will miss a paycheck if Congress doesn't agree on a deal to reopen the government before Oct. 15.

Every day Republicans are choosing to keep the government closed rather than lower your health care costs.

So the same people who’ve consistently said our kids get too many shots are now saying we need to force kids to get 4 shots instead of 1.  I really just don’t even know how to respond anymore.

One could write a book on everything Trump hasn’t accomplished during his ten months in office β€” starting with strengthening the economy.

Like I’ve always said, ACA health plans are a lifeline in rural areas. This map shows how 3/4 of people on the plans live in states Trump won.

Oops. Another broken promise to keep costs down?

Trump pushes a new label for Democrats: β€˜The Party Of Hate, Evil, And Satan’ Republicans apparently want Democrats to stop using the kind of incendiary political rhetoric that the president uses all the time.

Donald Trump is using this shutdown to hurt federal workers.
YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren Donald Trump is using this shutdown to hurt federal workers.

On top of ripping away Americans' health care, Donald Trump is using this shutdown to hurt federal workers.

Federal workers like this one, who told me her story after being needlessly fired earlier this year, deserve so much better.

Despite campaign promises, White House eyes new changes to Social Security and Medicare β€œI will never do anything that will jeopardize or hurt Social Security or Medicare,” Trump vowed in 2024. I have bad news for voters who believed him.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

It seems clearβ€”I think to everyone, nowβ€”that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Gov. Gavin Newsom just SUED Donald Trump and WON.

He successfully stopped Trump from sending California’s National Guard to Oregon β€” a stunning attempted abuse of power.

Once again, for the head-smackingeth time, this administration and all the R governors who are happily going along with the war against the American people are NOT inept or stupid. They know exactly what they are doing, and they're doing it enthusiastically. Calling them dumb is part of the problem.

Veterans, Who Saw One of Their Own Arrested by ICE and Charged, Say Feds Are Undermining Democracy

A 70-year-old Air Force veteran was charged while protesting outside a suburban Chicago ICE facility for handing his cellphone to a friend.

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the β€œworst of the worst.”

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

Trump’s new IRS β€˜CEO’: The head of Social Security The Trump administration on Monday found its seventh leader for the Internal Revenue Service since the start of President Donald Trump’s second term: the head of the Social Security Administration.

Frank Bisignano is already wreaking havoc at the Social Security Administration.

If he tries to run his same chaotic playbook at the IRS, it could spell disaster for American taxpayers.

Every day I’ve been getting angrier when I think about how maga, the so called alpha male bros, always punch down at people who are less fortunate or struggling.

This isn’t manliness. It’s cowardly, it’s shameful, and it makes you look like a tiny little douche face

Last year they claimed β€œillegals” were voting, without any evidence.

They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws.

Now they claim β€œillegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence.

So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans.

Enough.

Oregon does not need nor want the National Guard.

President Trump's gross overreach of power shows that he believes he is above the Constitution.

I am glad that a federal judge has granted a temporary restraining order on the Trump Admin from sending the California National Guard to Portland.
