The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.

On October 18th, 2,100 different #NoKings protests are scheduled across the USA (prob one near you). Expected to be the largest peaceful protest in modern American history! Be part of it!

Find an event here (or start your own): www.nokings.org .

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 belongs to the people.

Over 2100 sites in place for the next #NoKings Day and still growing. Far bigger than the last one.

Where will you be October 18th? Will you stand to defend your country or cower on the couch? Last call for democracy! Don’t obey in advance!

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

Greene on the Epstein files: "I can't conclusively say that's why the House isn't in session, but the House should be in session...there is a new Democrat that's been elected that deserves to be sworn in...if it's to avoid the discharge petition, why drag this out? It's going to have 218 signatures"
