If you were determined to devastate places like the Arkansas Delta, where I grew up, you'd be hard pressed to come up with a more destructive set of policies. It's soybeans and rice as far as the eye can see. It's not an incidental fraction of the local economy, it is the entire foundation of it.

Soybean Farmer: So now I've got a tariff war that's killing my market. I don't have any money from grain we're sending to other countries for USAID. I mean, I've got a compound problem. I don't know how you plan for next year because we don't know where we're at.

While everyone is talking about TLOAS, Republicans are allowing ACA tax credits to lapse so your insurance premiums will triple in price.

And like yeah I’d love for Taylor Swift to talk about that.

But even more I’d love for Republicans in Congress to pass legislation preventing it.

Judge Immergut quotes James Madison from the
Records of the Federal Convention of 1787: “A standing
military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The
means of defence [against] foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at
home.”

Trump’s spiritual advisor Pastor Robert Morris, pleaded guilty to 5 felony counts of sexually assaulting a 12 year old girl. He molested this girl for 5 years. He's only going to have to serve 6 months in jail. Why are these MAGA men always let off the hook for their disgusting crimes? #cdnpoli

This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

So, members of Congress, it's time for another check. The President has declared war on the "enemy within" in front of a gathering of his military commanders and his Secretary of War says they will not be bound by the rules of engagement and terrorize their enemies. If not now, when?

Corey Rayburn Yung @coreyryung.bsky.social · Feb 1

Every Democrat in Congress who won't yet impeach or vote to remove Trump from office needs to write on a piece of paper what it would take to change their minds and store it away. Trump will eventually cross that line and you need to be ready to act without delay.
