Listen to this nurse: when families can’t afford food or rent, doubling their health premiums will push them off insurance. Communities will suffer. People will die.

And what did Republicans do?
They shut down the government and took a vacation. #TrumpsShutdownDragsOn

Trump wants to DOUBLE Argentina's bailout to $40 billion to save his political ally.

Yet he is doing nothing to prevent 15 million Americans from losing their health care and 20 million from seeing a doubling in their premiums.

Is this what Trump means by America first?

JUST IN: A federal judge in San Francisco has HALTED Trump’s plan to lay off thousands of federal workers during his shutdown, calling it “unlawful” and “politically motivated.” Judge Illston said Trump acted as if “the laws don’t apply to them anymore.”

Well-known internet personality Robby Roadsteamer makes fun of ICE and calls them Nazis. They prove his point & come out to arrest him for trespassing after shoving him over the property line.

Just like Russia, if you protest the regime, men with guns come to take you away.

Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

He accepts their behavior. He doesn't seem to care if he offends others. Shameful.

Are you participating in a nokings.org rally on Saturday, 10/18? Here are some helpful tips to get your messages across in safe, peaceful, and joyous ways.

NO KINGS
Top 10 Rally Reminders
Lead with Love, Not Anger.
Focus your energy on what you stand for, not what you stand against. Anger fades;
compassion lasts.
Look Out for One Another.
Offer water, a smile, or friendly chat to someone nearby. Check on families, elders, and people with mobility needs.
Smile and Greet Others.
Say hello, wave, or share a word of encouragement. Small acts of friendliness build community trust and lower tension.
Celebrate Families and Kids.
Keep the atmosphere family-friendly, and invite children to join in with chants and songs-joyful ways to express civic pride.
Lift Your Voice with Positivity.
Joy is contagious. The more you smile, sing, and stay grounded, the safer and stronger everyone around you feels.
Keep It Clean and Respectful.
Leave our rally space as beautiful as you found it-or better. Treat it with respect, care, and gratitude for peace.
Make Your Sign Speak Peace.
Choose messages that uplift-creative, clever, values-based signs draw attention without aggression or profanity.
Be Mindful of Words & Tone.
Speak with kindness, even when disagreeing. Avoid insults, sarcasm, or chants that demean others.
Model Nonviolence in Every Action.
If confronted, breathe, stay calm, and step back. Do not engage or argue, alert a Guardian in an orange vest.
Carry Joy Beyond the Rally.
After the event, share stories, photos, and reflections that highlight unity and courage-show the world what peaceful power looks like.

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,
