Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

They’re lying because they want you to support them cutting your healthcare, and they want you to blame immigrants.

- undocumented immigrants aren’t eligible for Medicaid or the ACA

- 700 rural hospitals will close

- Health insurance premiums will double, or more

- 15 million will lose coverage

Fact Check: Mike Johnson's Biggest Lies About Health Care and Undocumented Immigrants

GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson pushes the false narrative that Democrats shut down the government to fund health care for undocumented people.

If you want to understand propaganda you have to realize that what we call "reality" is really just mutually agreed upon hallucinations. Our sense of reality is easily manipulated by the creation of intersubjective hallucinations. They create "truth" that serves the interests of the propagandists.
