This 👇🏻 is an actual tweet from Marjorie Taylor Greene over on the hellsite.

I don’t know what happened but just like I had to agree with her supporting, even signing the reopening of the House vote on the Epstein files, I now find myself agreeing with her on the real culprits of the shutdown😳

I’m an Oregon resident. Thank you to the Oregon National Guard for protecting the people of Oregon from ICE agents who attack us, violate our First Amendment rights.

The Oregon National Guard general says if they were to be deployed, they would be instructed under his leadership to protect the protesters and not ICE

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Trump and the Republicans are so determined to take away our health care that they are keeping the government shut down to do it. #TrumpShutUSDown

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Scott Jennings is either lying or wildly misinformed about what happened in Chicago. He keeps claiming 37 Tren de Aragua gang members were arrested. As if it excuses zip tying kids.

DHS says 37 were arrested, and only 2 were suspected gang members.

Van Lathan gets it. We can’t lose our humanity.
