I've started seeing videos of ICE vs PD, and you can tell that it is going to devolve fast. ICE acts like they outrank local police. They are high on power. A showdown is guaranteed.

PDX, the regime is tweaking out over the fact that they can't get us to riot.
They are frantic to get us to do something to justify their extremism.
Do not give them what they want. They want to manufacture a war. Don't let them.
We have to power to deprive them. So deprive them.

After the shutdown during the 1st Trump admin, Congress passed a law to guarantee back pay for furloughed workers.
That bill was signed into law by Donald Trump.
Workers will be paid.
This chaos is a distraction from Trump's failure to secure a deal to lower health care costs.

'Carving my own lane': MTG admits insurance premiums will 'double' if GOP doesn't act
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (RโGa.) warned Monday that if Republicans in Congress don't act to extend certain Affordable Care Act (โObamacareโ) tax credits, health insurance premiums are poised to "double" next year.
In a post on social media platform X, Greene wrote: โ[W]hen the tax credits expire this year my own adult childrenโs insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE, along with all the ... families and hardโworking people in my district.โ She added that no Republican leadership has offered a plan to prevent the soaring costs.
"No Iโm not towing the party line on this, or playing loyalty games. Iโm a Republican and wonโt vote for illegals to have any tax payer funded healthcare or benefits," she added.
Greeneโs statement comes in the midst of ongoing Republican infighting over how to address the looming expiration of ACA premium tax credits. Under current law, these subsidies help lower the monthly cost of health insurance for many Americans. Without congressional intervention, insurers and analysts warn that premiums could rise sharply for many, especially in lowerโincome and rural areas.
In her post, Greene distanced herself from the original enactment of the ACA, writing: โI was not in Congress when all this Obamacare, โAffordable Care Actโ bullsโโ started. I got here in 2021.โ
She sharply criticized the lawโs effects, saying it made health insurance โunaffordableโ for her family and that she is โnot a fan.โ She stressed her belief that if the tax credits vanish, insurance costs will โDOUBLE.โ
Greene also called health and all insurance โa scam,โ saying no Republican leaders had engaged with rankโandโfile members on solutions, and reiterating her staunch opposition to taxpayerโfunded benefits for undocumented immigrants.
The Georgia Republican also criticized federal spending abroad, pointing to $30 billion sent to Israel in 2024 and large sums to Ukraine, and claimed Congress neglects Americansโ struggles while prioritizing foreign aid.
Earlier on Monday, Greene posted a related statement on X, saying, "Hi this is your daily reminder that insurance has become UNAFFORDABLE for most Americans. Health, Auto, and Home. I wish my party would make this a priority."
ACA premium tax credits (subsidies to reduce costs of marketplace plans) are set to expire or be modified soon, and Republicans are divided on whether to extend them.

Birth is the most important thing that a woman can do they say. Yet they donโt provide women with enough time off to care for the babies when theyโre born.
Itโs not about an altruistic concern for birth. Itโs simply to ensure that there are future workers to be manipulated by the oligarchs.
