There it is: $20 billion for Argentina at the same time they’re taking markets away from our farmers.

But no $ for health insurance for Americans?

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

Thank you Senator! But these threats are sure to light a fire under even the quietest among us. WE THE PEOPLE love our country! We‘ll bring love, peace + strength in numbers on October 18. We owe it to the heroes who served + are buried in Arlington, France and every other cemetery in this country.

And then there are those who love this country even though they weren’t born here. Liam Neeson, Bono, all of you need to stand with Democracy! Stand up for this country you say you love.

Love it, but you also need to carry your American flag! It is a powerful message to carry that message as our anti- fascist troops did!

They don’t want you to realize that the House has been on a weeks-long paid vacation because they’re scared of a vote to release the Epstein Files.

What are they trying to hide?

I would also like to know the percentage of veterans living in Va, NOVA and in the Norfolk/Va Beach area, those employed by the federal government, who are be affected. First they were furloughed, now possibly terminated. Heinous treatment towards them.

I’m sure Russ Vought’s latest mass firings of federal workers will help Republican Winsome Earl-Sears in her race for VA governor in a few weeks.

There is a coordinated republican message today that they will respond to peaceful protests next weekend with violence.

We will not be silenced by their threats.

Now is the time for sitting Dems in statehouses and Congress to announce they'll be joining the No Kings protest on the 18th. Blue State/sane governors should be leading the events in their respective states.

They're scared because they know 10 million+ Americans will turn out to express their displeasure with the GOP's fascist policies next week.

Oh Mikey, you’ve just inspired Americans who might’ve normally sat out the 10/18 protest to be on their way rn for art supplies from Michaels to make a No Kings Rally sign. Silly boy.

We‘re going to sing. We will be Peaceful. We are not going to be paid.

25-30% of the Federal Government workforce is Veterans! A quarter million fed jobs are held by spouses of veterans or active military. You are ruining the lives of those who served our Nation and kept you and your family safe!

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.
