@governor.ca.gov is absolutely right...we've known it since his first term. Then, he had guardrails and people who respected our democracy, Constitution, and rule of law.

We're not going to let #47's coup win. He and his regime have to be voted out.

This shutdown is proof that Trump and his MAGA Republicans don’t care about the American people.

They don’t care about federal workers who aren’t receiving paychecks, they don’t care about your flights, and they don’t care about Americans being able to afford health care.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 1h

The first wave of missed paychecks from the government shutdown is likely to hurt the economy in many communities.

The longer other services remain shut off, the more the shutdown’s effects will spread.

History gives us plenty of examples of disease used as a weapon. There are fewer cases of governments deliberately using disease against their own citizens. We are living (or dying) through one right now.

During the last "No Kings" protest, MAGA didn't have much to say. But they're so worried about this coming Saturday's events that they've labeled peaceful protesters as paid terrorists.
Show up because you love this country. And, no, George Soros won't cut you a check, despite what MAGA liars say.

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Pam Bondi illustrates the lack of judicial independence and her profile is partisan rather than impartial. Trump chose her only for her loyalty, seeking a compliant enforcer rather than an Attorney General capable of controlling him or resisting him.

Trump’s corruption & retribution campaign is about 1 thing
Installing fear in the masses to keep them quiet & from rising up against his tyranny
It’s more than just his lust for power
