No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid," JD Vance. We checked.

By scanning public records and media reports, Mother Jones determined the ages of eight of the 11 participants in the abhorrent leaked texts from young Republicans that Politico covered on Tuesday: They appear to range from 24 to 35.

Day 16 of the Trump shutdown, where every day feels like a year for American citizens.

Standing up now is not radical. To speak out, to march and to demand accountability is not defiance; it’s what Americans do when they see a wrong being committed.

Opinion | The GOP’s coordinated attack on the No Kings rally is ridiculous

The Republican talking points are out of touch with the reality of Saturday's protests.

This is infuriating, that *they* don’t have to feel any effects of the shit they force on us.

Mike Johnson is not a Speaker. He’s a ventriloquist dummy.

Donald Trump is sending $40 BILLION to his buddy in Argentina, but he can't find a penny to help hardworking Americans afford their health care.

So much for America first.

Or, people could be as eliminated as they started becoming in the 1950s and stop being actively racist. I don't guess a white male has had as much experience with that, so perhaps Johnson isn't the correct person to advise Jeffries on this issue.

The truth is from my perspective as a former first responder to disasters and terroristic events, that Trump just lacks the capacity to care about other humans or he just lacked the understanding to grasp the importance of emergency management and Public Health protocols.

Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove @kamlager-dove.house.gov · Sep 1

Yet again, Trump has punished people for telling the truth.

Trump suspended FEMA workers who warned of the devastation that his cuts to federal disaster response & mitigation efforts will cause.

I stand with our brave FEMA workers fighting to keep us prepared & protected.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · Aug 27

Breaking News: FEMA suspended about 30 employees who had told Congress that the Trump administration had gutted the nation’s emergency preparedness.

#NoKings
Peaceful protest to the government to redress our grievances as we have a right to do as set forth in the Constitution.

A meme saying peaceful powerful protest. No Kings!

A very long list of the ways activism takes many forms including during the emotional spiritual and Care work that holds us together. Do what you can. Resist tyranny.

When the crops rot in the fields unpicked and there's another "needlessly induced Trump supply chain shortage," people will go hungry, and possibly have even more dire outcomes.

Remarkable: Vulnerable House Republicans are quietly urging Trump to refocus deportations away from noncriminal migrants and only target criminals.

With Trump admitted deportations hurt farmers, Rs know this is becoming a big problem for them. 1/
