As a former federal worker, I remember the financial stress of a shutdown. That’s why I’ve refused to accept pay until the government reopens.

Up in NJ, I heard from workers who are rightfully frustrated. Full convo out tomorrow.

Young pregnant women don’t trust Republicans to do shit for them because you already took their reproductive rights away.

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Trump from deploying federalized National Guard troops into Chicago.

This ruling reinforces what we already knew: It is illegal for the president to use manufactured emergencies to send soldiers into our cities.

Chicago residents are now following ICE vehicles, honking horns and shouting warnings before raids begin. This is what community defense looks like. 💪

In the next six months or so, there will be a cascade of Republicans abandoning Trump after realizing that breaking with him means a primary challenge they might lose and sticking with him means a general election they'll definitely lose.
