..."Just look to Chicago or Portland or L.A. as masked federal agents wield unchecked force, instill fear on our streets, and threaten some of our most vulnerable populations...
The government shutdown has become yet another tool to help further his tactics of intimidation and control."- Dan Rather

"Q - “Has Qatar changed their behavior from 2017 when you accused them of funding terrorism?

Trump: In 2017, I didn’t really know them very well. As I got to know them, I got to understand them.” - Meidas+

He 'got to know' Qatar had a lot of $$$$.
That's all he needed to know.

Jeffries was asked on MSNBC how negotiations are going with Mike Johnson:

Q - “Have you met with Mike Johnson?

Jeffries: No.

Q - Why not?

Jeffries: Because Donald Trump has not given them permission to meet.”

...“Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) has said he supports a standalone troops bill, while Speaker Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) oppose it.” - Meidas+

I blame Republikkkans.

Rep. Jen Kiggans (R-VA): “I’m urging the Speaker and our House leadership to immediately pass my bill to ensure our service members, many of whom live paycheck to paycheck while supporting their families, receive the pay they’ve earned.”...🛢

While ordinary Americans are losing their jobs or working w/o pay due to the government shutdown...

"Mike Johnson has convened the House for only 12 of the last 80 days.

..."I believe Obamacare was created to implode upon itself, to collapse upon itself.”

… “Roots are so deep” = really freaking popular.

… “Really sinister, the way it was created” = A Black man did it." - Meidas+

"Johnson then said the quiet part out loud: “Can we completely repeal and replace Obamacare? Many of us are skeptical about that now, because the roots are so deep, it was really sinister, the way it was created...🛢

“Well, there’s definitively no reason to ever trust the Republicans, particularly as it relates to the health care issue and the ACA. These are people who have now tried more than 70 different times over the last 15 years to repeal the ACA.” - Rep. Hakeem Jeffries

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

I march because I love America more than I love any political party.

I march because I support & defend the Constitution of the United States.

I march because I truly believe in "We the people" & "life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness."

I march because I want freedom & equality for all.

"Tear gas is banned by the 1997 international Chemical Weapons Convention for use by nation states in warfare. The U.S. is a signatory..uses the phrase "Riot Control Agents" in its text...the law states that, "Each State Party undertakes not to use riot control agents as a method of warfare."-Snopes
