This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

Senator @MarshaBlackburn says she wants Jack Smith investigated and disbarred - for doing his job as special counsel, investigating Trump’s election interference and mishandling of classified documents..

The Hate America Rally already happened, Mike Johnson. It was held on January 6, 2021, and was orchestrated by your boss.

On October 18, patriots across America will honor our commitment to keep America from becoming the dystopic jackboot dictatorship you fascist bootlickers dream of and drool for.

The "Party of Law & Order" is surprisingly partial to pardoning and commuting the sentences of convicted criminals who disobey the law and disrupt the order.

Price increases for "things" under Donald Trump:

Coffee is up 26%
Baby strollers are up 25%
Beef is up 14%
School supplies are up 7%
Electricity is up 5%

Car prices are at a RECORD high.

And thanks to Republicans in Congress, health insurance premiums are about to DOUBLE.

Murphy: "If we want to win the argument nationally on the economy, then we've got to break our addiction to incremental economic change. And we've got to talk about big, bold ideas that reorder power in this country."

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

BREAKING: The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refuses to undo the lower court’s order blocking Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops in Illinois.

"We conclude that the district court's factual findings … were not clearly erroneous, and that the facts do not justify the President's actions."

We're in a Republican shutdown.

Millions of Americans are losing their health care and watching their premiums go way up.

Trump is playing king, illegally withholding funds and firing workers.

And Republicans voted to send more money to Trump.

No way — I just voted NO.
