Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

This is what oligarchy looks like:

Trump gave corporate America a $920 billion tax break.

Now, corporations like Amazon, Meta, Apple, Google & Lockheed Martin are returning the favor by giving Trump $300 million for a fancy ballroom.

That’s a pretty good return on investment.

Absolutely no one spends $350 million on a remodel to a house they plan on leaving in three years. No one!!!

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

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.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

The R Justices own so much of what Trump is doing...

(ordering the murder of civilians, directing prosecutions of political opponents, gutting administrative agencies, razing the White House, & treating taxpayer $ and the federal govt as his personal piggy bank.)

I joined my colleague, Senator Jeff Merkley, on the floor yesterday to help him explain how democracies die. There isn't one explosive moment - it is a slow consistent attack on opposition political speech until the rules are so rigged, only the regime can win elections.

So let me get this straight…

Republicans call Democrats violent, terrorist, lawless, and so much more, but we aren’t the ones constantly wreaking havoc on this country.

Just today, a man Trump pardoned for storming the Capitol was arrested for threatening to kill Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.

Oh yeah? Well, as that Ninth Circuit panel held, there's more than enough reason to federalize the National Guard in Oregon and deploy them in Portland because of a shooting in Dallas, which I assume is a neighborhood in Portland.

The wealth of the richest 1% in America just hit a record $52 trillion. These are the people getting huge tax cuts β€” paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now about the shutdown is meant to distract you from this.

What Trump’s Tyranny Is Revealing to America
Robert Reich What Trump’s Tyranny Is Revealing to America

ICE agents abducting people off the streets. The National Guard unleashed in American cities. The Justice Department weaponized to prosecute political opponents. Threats by Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act.

The tyranny is on full display β€” and it's waking America up.
