They have to have a backup plan to the "dangerous immigrants" narrative. They have one. They've literally created a "terrorist group" out of thin air. I mean, you can't be having free and fair elections with "enemies from within," like the "Antifa Terrorist" group running around. It's a pretext.

The government has been shut down for 13 days now because Republicans refuse to work across the aisle to ensure healthcare for millions of Americans is accessible and affordable. This is not how government is supposed to work.

Putin HATES America, and he is a MASTER manipulator.

Trump is an EASY mark.

All the damage Trump has done to our country makes sense when you realize Trump is aligned with PUTIN, *not* the American people.

GOP keeps trying to sell itself as the Party of "law & order", but continues to FAIL miserably. They're not the Party of "family values", "fiscal responsibility", "moral authority", "limited government", or "compassionate conservatism" either.

They ARE the Party of "make the rich richer".

Resist!!

While Trump blusters about "law & order," his regime has dropped or halted nearly 165 investigations into corporate wrongdoing. And Trump himself has pardoned dozens of his supporters, including Jan 6 rioters and others convicted of crimes like money laundering and bribery.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

Why Republicans’ attempts to kill Obamacare keep backfiring

The White House and some Republicans are growing nervous that Democrats’ demand to boost Obamacare as part of a government funding bill has salience with voters.

Rather than it being a “hate-America” rally, Saturday’s No Kings rally is an opportunity for all of us who love America to express our determination that our nation’s ideals not be crushed by the Trump regime. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/theyre-calling-it-a-hate-america

Buried inside the Big Beautiful Bill is a time bomb...one that detonates the balance of power. You weren’t supposed to read this clause. That’s why I did.

A single section hidden deep in the bill quietly neuters the courts. It’s that serious.🔥👇

To those signing up for ICE: You are on the wrong side of history. Trump is DESTROYING America, and YOU are helping him do it!

You are part of his personal GESTAPO.

EVERY TIME you look in the mirror, think about how you're BETRAYING our country and our children's future.

You're better than this.
