Trump says if he invokes the Insurrection Act, ”there is no more court cases, there is no more anything.”
By “no more anything” he means no more democracy.

Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,

Wes Moore: “A prerequisite to keeping the government open should not be cutting people off of healthcare. My message to President Trump is clear. Stop this shutdown. You’re the one causing it. We’re the ones dealing with it.”

In Matt 25 Jesus says that individuals & nations will be judged by how they care for the poor & sick.

Govt is shutdown bc GOP wants to throw 12-20 million low-income/disabled Americans off Medicaid.

Bc the GOP uses Jesus as a prop, while despising His actual commandments.

Trump has shut down the government and Republicans have fled Washington D.C. They want more tax breaks for their billionaire friends and couldn’t care less about healthcare costs going up. Hell NO to the Trump budget — and let’s lower costs for families.

This is absolutely a lie. There is no reason shutdowns trigger layoffs. They never have before. Trump is simply using the shutdown as an excuse to take federal employees hostages and to further gut the government.

Trump: "When you shut it down, you have to do layoffs. So, we'd be laying off a lot of people that are going to be very affected, and they're gonna be Democrats."

"It’s not the spending of government money on the insurance industry that irks the modern GOP. It’s the spending of government money on health care."

How to Debunk Republicans’ Shutdown Talking Points

Their main argument is about health care, and it shows how desperate they are to dodge blame when prices spike for millions of Americans.

NEWS: Mike Johnson just refused to swear in Adelita Grijalva AGAIN, leaving Arizona's 7th without a Congresswoman during the shutdown, and preventing the 218th signature to force the vote on the Epstein Files.

Just over 6 hours until we shutdown. I have the latest.

Word from the meeting last night is that Speaker kept bringing up “health care for illegal aliens,” seemingly unaware that Medicaid and Medicare and Affordable Care coverage are by law NOT available to anyone here illegally.

It’s possible, and just a thought, that if he were competent at being president, there might be less reason for people to come after him.
