REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Despite repeatedly promising not to cut Social Security, the Trump Admin is reportedly preparing a proposed rule that could reduce the share of applicants who qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance by up to 20%--which would be the largest cut ever. 🧵

The Shiny Object Syndrome
When foreign leaders realize America’s president can be swayed not by principle but by praise, not by policy but by gold, democracy itself becomes the collateral.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) declaring he won't call the House of Representatives into session until JANUARY at the earliest, means this isn't a shut-down.
This is a #RepublicanCOUP.

Donald Trump is trying to normalize authoritarianism. We cannot let that happen. We cannot take the bait that normalizes things that are fundamentally wrong.

Next time a Republican claims this is a “Democrat Shutdown,” they should be reminded that Russell Vought, the president’s top budget adviser, encouraged the GOP in Congress to shut down the government because it’s easier to dismantle the government when it is closed. He's on record liking shutdowns.

I know here in America we tend to focus on the genocides that our tax dollars inevitably pay for.

However, we really need to pay attention to the genocide happening in Sudan, too.

So many murdered on Sunday that you can see the blood-drenched sands from space.

Literally.

From SPACE.

Unconstitutional, illegal orders can and should be rejected. NG members should resign en masse as they become eligible to re-up. They cannot be forced to turn against their own countrymen.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

BRUTAL- NYT makes it clear Xi played Trump, letting him claim victory even though he just “restored the status quo” (getting 🇨🇳 to purchase fewer soybeans than last year)

“Xi projected the confidence of a powerful leader who could make Washington blink”

HAYES: “The more unpopular Trump & Republicans grow, the harder they try to project strength with lies… As they talk about an unconstitutional third term Trump is as politically weak as he has ever been… Do Americans like the MAGA agenda? The polls are clear: NO.”

Trump Orders All States to Establish National Guard Riot Units Across All 50 States.
Why? The Trump regime anticipates that the people will rise up against their authoritarian policies and Republicans can't win the midterms without suppressing the vote by force.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.
