#Trump has now deployed National Guard troops to LA, DC, Chicago, and Portland—what do they have in common?

They’re all cities where violent crime and homicides have plummeted in recent years.

This isn't about safety, it's about control and revenge.

Even #MarjorieTaylorGreene has had enough! If Mike Johnson won’t listen to Democrats, maybe he should start listening to members of his own party.

Health care costs are going up because of #MAGA Republican policies.

While Republicans are making life more expensive for Americans, #Democrats are fighting to lower costs across the board.

#Trump is following the authoritarian playbook by the letter.

It is rumored that he plans to invoke the insurrection act and he is already trying normalize the deployment of troops to his enemies.

It's hard to overstate how alarming NY AG #LetitiaJames' reported indictment is. This cannot be allowed to be normalized. The president demanding his perceived opponents be indicted and using his power to ensure it happens is deeply dangerous.

The facts are there. Republicans are trying to take away the healthcare of millions to fund tax breaks for their rich friends.

All elected officials must sound the alarm about #Trump and his unhinged weaponization of the US military against the American public. 🔥📞🔥

#Trump is manufacturing a crisis to justify military occupations of US cities. This is a horrendous (and expensive) abuse of power designed to terrorize communities and silence dissent.

Why are Democrats fighting back so hard in this shutdown?

Under the Republican budget plan, your family's health care costs could double or even quadruple next year.

For a 60-year-old couple with an income of $80,000, premiums would skyrocket by $17,500.

Who has 22% of their income lying around?

This is not normal. But #Trump and #MAGA Republicans are pretending like it is.

Gov. #JBPritzker: "ICE is running around harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago that was illegal in the United States. Now, #ICE is making it commonplace. That’s not making America great."

Families like this Georgia family are having to pay quadruple the cost just to stay insured on the lowest cost. Republicans own this.

#Trump and his #MAGA Republican cronies don't like showing up to work. Remember that next time these clowns try to add more work requirements to our benefits to pay for their tax cuts.

#ICE is too dangerous to be left unaccountable. Violence and abuse against Americans is wrong.

Despite Republicans’ best efforts to cancel work for themselves, Democrats have been at the Capitol and have been ready to negotiate.

In fact, Democrats have been sounding the alarm on this for months. #Trump and his #MAGA cronies can't keep ignoring this, especially when lives are on the line.
