Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Just because you can't, doesn't mean you give up.

The scoop: Trump refuses to do anything to reduce health insurance premiums; House Republicans refuse to come back to Washington due to Epstein files; and now they send layoff notices to CDC researchers dealing with burgeoning measles cases?

OUR tax dollars are being used to bail out Argentina, OUR troops are being put on the ground in Israel & OUR soil is being used by Qatar for a military base of their own.
While OUR government is shutdown.
Anyone who believes OUR so-called “president” when he says he is “America first”, is an idiot.

Why is Marjorie Taylor Greene trying to pull a reverse John Fetterman? 🤷
She should take her insider trading Hulkamania money and just go back to her cave and leave us normal looking people alone. 🙏
This isn’t professional wrestling and nobody is buying the whole switching sides thing for ratings. 👎

fiscal responsibility, you just said we are 37T in debt. Fiscal responsibility is a pipe dream with tax cuts for the wealthy. The big shitty bill is why the shut down is happening. And no democrat had a say in that bill.

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

Pedal to the floor.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

UPDATE: Judge Perry issued an opinion explaining why she blocked the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago.

She begins with Alexander Hamilton’s rejection of a “preposterous” idea that the Constitution lets a President deploy a State’s militia to a different State for political retribution. 🧵

OPINION AND ORDER
Since this country was founded, Americans have disagreed about the appropriate division
of power between the federal government and the fifty states that make up our Union. This
tension is a natural result of the system of federalism adopted by our Founders. And yet, not even
the Founding Father most ardently in favor of a strong federal government believed that one
state's militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution, calling such
a suggestion "inflammatory," and stating "it is impossible to believe that [a President] would employ such preposterous means to accomplish their designs." But Plaintiffs contend that such
an event has come to pass, and argue that National Guard troops from both Illinois and Texas
have been deployed to Illinois because the President of the United States wants to punish state elected officials whose policies are different from his own.

A conspiracy theorist dies and goes to heaven.

God says, “I’ll tell you anything you want to know.”

“At last! Who shot JFK?”

God says, “Oswald, acting alone.”

Conspiracy theorist says, “Shit. This goes even higher than I thought…”

This footage from Chicago is horrific.

Find your No Kings protest now at nokings.org. There’s no more sitting on the sidelines.

This administration is weak and unpopular. If we stand up TOGETHER, peacefully, we win.

If we don’t, this becomes the new normal. And no one can say who will be next.
