Trying to figure out what to say. It's a very busy intersection. Any message has to be short and sweet.

Rep. Ted Lieu @reptedlieu.bsky.social · 2d

Republicans worked around the clock to cut taxes for billionaires.

But they won’t even show up to work to stop your health insurance premiums from doubling.

Unacceptable.

Thou shalt not shoot pastors in the head with smoke bombs. I shouldn’t have to say this.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

Looking at you, @cnn.com. Nauseating choice you've made here.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Durbin: “The president said he wanted to use American cities as 'training grounds for our military' to fight 'the enemy within.' Chicago is not the enemy. Our fellow Americans are not the enemy."

This may be the only way to get the GOP's cooperation. It's very radical though.
