Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

Nine polls, and all of them show Americans believe that Trump and the GOP are responsible for the government shutdown, largely because they control three of three branches of government.

Airports including Buffalo, Charlotte, Cleveland, LA, Phoenix, Seattle, and Portland are refusing to air Kristi Noem’s shutdown video at TSA checkpoints, citing policies that ban political messaging. Good. Stop giving oxygen to this ridiculous government-funded propaganda.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Watch this quick explainer on the Hatch Act and you’ll see just how far the regime has gone—propaganda in airports, partisan emails, and political orders from the top. It’s not “messaging,” it’s a full-blown assault on the law that keeps our government nonpartisan.
