Trump just ordered the military into Memphis and he’s authorized lethal force on U.S. citizens.

This is the beginning of dictatorship in America. Donald Trump must be stopped!

Virginia's off-year elections are the first chance for voters to weigh in on Trump's 2nd term.

Democrats are fighting to maintain razor-thin legislative majorities.

Keep the faith. Spread the faith. 🗽

Graphic from US Bureau of Labor statistics comparing job creation rates for Presidents since Jimmy Carter. Dems outperform GOPers significantly. Joe Biden created an average 382,000 jobs a month compared to 59,000 monthly job LOSSES under Trump. Wow. Only idiots would vote to re-elect Trump.

The Democratic bill addresses the Republican healthcare crisis by reversing catastrophic healthcare cuts and permanently extending ACA tax credits.

Meanwhile, Republicans would rather shut the government down than keep healthcare affordable.

What's happening with the government shutdown?

Simply put, Republicans are holding the government hostage to get their extreme agenda passed.

Democrats are fighting for a fair budget that protects healthcare for millions.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Shutting down the government does not "save money." The programs are funded eventually and people get back pay.

Then add the significant cost and increased workload required to shut things down and then open back up.

That's a lot of "government waste" just to score a dubious political point.

Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory. They are not a state because Puerto Ricans do not want to be a state, but none the less, they are U.S. citizens.

Hope that helps

I don't know who needs to hear this but:

The party that controls 0 out of 3 branches of government cannot shut it down. They also cannot keep it open.

Make no mistake, Trump gets away with everything because political media lets him get away with it.

It’s Time for Governor Shapiro to Figuratively Punch the Pennsylvania Senate in the Face

In theory, the law is that the General Assembly shall pass a budget, and the Governor shall sign it by June 30th. That almost never happens cleanly. Usually though, the legislature stays in session and at least pretends they’re working/negotiating. Like you at least have some level of shame when you don’t do your job, … Continue reading It’s Time for Governor Shapiro to Figuratively Punch the Pennsylvania Senate in the Face

Here is a post that Mamdani supporters need to consider.

You don't have to change your vote. (My main demand was that his followers not lie about what he is and what he can do on my TL), but this is a real problem.

Listen to what he says, and ask yourself how does Mamdani fulfill his goals?
