This image was posted on X today by a Chicago Tribune reporter. Trumpโ€™s government has declared war on the American people โ€” or some of them, based on race.

CNN: โ€œAn older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 โ€” 30% of their income.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜ณ#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

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

Murray: I talked to a family thatโ€™s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. Itโ€™s going to jump to over $1,800 per month.

Many people will turn away and not pay for itโ€”obviously, theyโ€™ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

Trump is threatening to withhold back pay for federal workers furloughed during the shutdown โ€” which goes against a law he signed in 2019, by the way.

This should come as no surprise: Trump and his businesses have been accused of stiffing hundreds of their own workers out of pay over the years.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families โ€” and weโ€™re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

Weโ€™ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Letโ€™s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Buried in the polls, with every American screaming for the Epstein files, the walls are closing in on Tangerine Palpatine.

Sending troops to every city you can in a desperate attempt to make martial law happen is not strength. Itโ€™s the last gasp of a dying regime.

Trumpโ€™s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Letโ€™s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

If there is no crisis, MANUFACTURE ONE. That's the Republican plan. They've been lying for years and years. You can NEVER trust them, so don't!

A judge blocked Trump from sending Oregon's National Guard into Portland.

That same judge then blocked Trump from deploying California's National Guard to Portland instead.

This isn't a "left wing" judge โ€” Trump appointed her.

Says a lot about Trump's authoritarian power grab.

I've posted this picture before but I do find it interesting that the police here arresting Carlo Gambino, at the time one of the most dangerous men in America with dozens of killers at his command, didn't feel the need to cover their faces because they are not ashamed of their work
