Elise Stefanik is scrubbing photos of herself accepting awards from the vile Young Republicans caught in the Politico group chat. She supported every single one of them in New York State.

Do Republicans really want to bring up #ShariaLaw again?
How very 2014 of them
“BAN SHARIA LAW It has NO PLACE in America”
-Tommy Tuberville
“I don’t think Texas should be subject to the advancement of Sharia”
-Chip Roy
“Sharia law has no place in the US"
-Ron DeSantis

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

"The demagoguery won’t work, as millions of Americans are speaking with their own voices, and many more will see them and hear them. But it is interesting that the GOP has latched on to the story."

The GOP has only brought enormous attention to No Kings protests

That's good, because the corporate media is doing a terrible job.

From city streets to rural crossroads, a movement is rising: millions strong, peaceful but unyielding.

We’re the people who still believe in dignity, fairness, and freedom.

No Thrones.
No Crowns.
No Kings.
Just us, We the People, refusing to bow.

Show up if you can.
#NoKings

Why is there a Shutdown?
Yes, call it the #TrumpGOPShutdown as they refuse to negotiate in good faith & GOP demands an unconscionable end to ACA subsidies which would harm millions of US
But the truth is
The #1 reason is stop the release of the #EpsteinFiles
#EpsteinShutdown
#EpsteinBallroom

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

I have been saying recently, over and over again, is that too many independents don't understand that gop leadership and business owners LOVE a good recession.
