For 1 out of every 37 days that Trump has been President, the U.S. government has been shutdown.

He’s presided over 3 shutdowns so far. And every one of them began when he was President, the House was controlled by his Republican Party and the Senate was controlled by his Republican Party.

TheValuesVoter @thevaluesvoter.bsky.social · 1d

During his first term, Trump was President for 1,461 days.

During his second term, Trump has been President for 264 days so far.

That’s 1,725 days that Trump has been President.

And 47 days of shutdowns that began while he and his party controlled everything.

That’s 1 out of every 37 days.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

The Insurrection Act would allow the president to deploy the U.S. military domestically for law enforcement purposes.

Also, this is the third shutdown of the Trump era. And all of them began when his party controlled both chambers of Congress.

Again, current Republican Senators confirmed the people who are responsible for this. And almost every Republican in the House and Senate voted to give them more money than most of the world’s militaries through the One Big Beautiful Bill act.

Because ultimately voters decide, by our decision of who to vote for or whether to vote, decide who gets power in this country. It was a binary choice. And voters chose, one way or another, to hand this country over to an aspiring dictator.

Staying home or voting third party is a choice too.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

This man holds office because Republican Senators (almost all of them) voted to confirm him earlier this year.

If that bothers you, let them know and remember it when they come up for re-election.
