Seems like a good time to remind Tennesseeans where we fit in to this agenda...now that we are allowing National Guard on our streets too!

Pathetic!!! And originally approved way back in March??? Must have started working on that on Day ONE instead of ending the war in Ukraine, lowering grocery prices, energy costs...

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

More than half of ALL government shut down days in the history of America have come under just one president.

Simply put, the man is a terrible leader.

"Stabilizing Argentina is America First." He actually said that out loud on TV!

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 1d

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

Our government is against anti-facsism, I think that may be because their facsists? Only thing that makes sense to me!

Or sending $12 BILLION to bale out another country after closing your own country, causing further financial ruin and pain to our farmers. As if they haven't suffered enough under Trump. He has SCREWED EVERY US FARMER & American!

Now, instead of vaccines, we get Tylenol & circumcisions as answers!
