Last Sunday, @demiforillinois.bsky.social, @raygunsite.com and I hosted a No Kings protest sign-making party with the best problem:

Enhanced Premium Tax Credits protect 20M+ people from medical bills that drain savings & wreck credit. Congress had the chance to act—instead, they chose cuts.

Join us in urging Congress to make these tax credits permanent & repeal health care cuts: commcat.io/467vrRn

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

DEMAND THAT REPUBLICAN SENATORS PROTECT HEALTHCARE & END THE SHUTDOWN

With historic healthcare cuts and cost increases looming, Republicans chose to force a Trump Shutdown rather than address the healthcare crisis or rein in Trump’s lawless manipulation of federal funds...

Colored-pencil political cartoon of the Statue of Liberty holding a lit torch while armed soldiers rappel down toward her face; someone in one of the two helicopters circling her speaks into a radio saying, “SHE’S ARMED WITH A TORCH! PROBABLY ANTIFA!!” The scene satirically critiques mischaracterization of the left-wing anti-fascist and anti-racist political movement antifa by the current pro-fascist government and the billionaire oligarchs behind it (Donald Trump, JD Vance, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, Marjorie Taylor Greene & co).

So “antifa” is really “inflata” and is a bunch of people protesting in blow up costumes.

Tweet from Meidas_Charise Lee: “THIS IS THE COOLEST WAR ZONE EVER! Portland’s strategy… maybe if we act weird enough they’ll leave!”
Attached is a photo of people in colorful inflatable costumes dancing or moving playfully at night.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.
