TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Buttigieg: You’ve got a president and a Republican Congress who would rather see the entire government shut down than allow Americans to afford their healthcare.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 11d

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Now that Trump has shut down the government, Democrats need to be loud and confident in our argument.

No 75% premium increases. No lawlessness.

That’s what we are fighting for. The people will be with us. But only if we show strength.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.

He said this out loud.

Y’all. Republicans are FINE with poking holes in the filibuster. They did it ten days ago so they could confirm 48
Trump appointees at once. Don’t let them tell you they can’t pass a CR without Dems. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Senate Republicans poke holes in the filibuster despite vowing to protect it

Facing Democratic opposition, the GOP has discarded a series of precedents and weakened minority power in order to vote through Trump's nominees and legislation.

Trump’s increasingly bizarre behavior can no longer be attributed to a calculated “strategy.”

Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia?

November 17, 1938. 50,000 devotees of “Western civilisation,” “traditional family values,” “positive Christianity” (the official religion of German N*zism) and rabid anti-communism gathered to mourn the assassinated German diplomat Ernst vom Rath.
