Donald Trump's effort to deploy troops in American cities is not normal.

There is no rational justification for such a deployment.

It is a breach of the most fundamental values and customs that our armed forces operate on.

Trump is sending National Guard troops from a red state to invade a blue state, axing critical infrastructure projects only in blue states & playing games with blue state disaster aid.

He’s trying to break the country apart & divide us even further.

We must stop him.

Today we show the world that in America we are not scared of Trump and his pathetic, vile regime.

Today we show the world that America does not want a tyrant and does not want a king.

Today, let’s make history with the largest peaceful protest ever.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

The Vengeful Radical Republicans are at it again.

They don’t care about lowering groceries, making housing affordable, or reforming our rigged healthcare system.

Instead, they spend their time on petty personal grievances—weaponizing federal resources for revenge & retribution.

The president could not be more plain: he's planning to use the shutdown to take revenge on Democrats.

During a Cabinet meeting, Trump announced the White House would be cutting congressionally approved programs during the closure—but only those supported by Dems. newrepublic.com/post/201554/...

Speaker Johnson won't swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva — who won her election two weeks ago — because she'd be the 218th vote to force the release of the Epstein files. Arizona’s 7th District deserves representation, particularly in the midst of a government shutdown. Swear her in. Release the files.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.

So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.
