Republicans declare themselves patriots, then turn around and block the paychecks of the men and women who defend America.

And what’s really wild, some of those same troops keep voting red while getting screwed over again and again.

🚨 Sources close to the DC mayor and police say, Trump will deploy 1,000 National Guard troops into D.C. tomorrow/Monday.

• For context, Los Angeles is 502.7 square miles, and he deployed 4,000 troops there.

• Washington, D.C. is only 68.3 square miles.

This is what cities under siege look like.

If you work at the Washington Post, now is the time to resign. You’re a part of this now.

I am finding myself with absolutely nothing positive to say and to add to my despair, our Democratic leadership is failing us.

No. The Medicaid portals were shut down because the OMB demanded they be. They’re only back up because of the outcry. I’d tell you to stop lying but we know that’s a feature of this administration.

What infuriates me about this moment in the US is how the last administration came in on the heels of a violent attempted coup, and in the name of bipartisanship & propriety refused to remove any of the firmly entrenched loyalists

At this point, to be complacent is to be complicit

GOP claims to LOVE the military!! Yet, the Republicans' reckless attacks on the VA & their healthcare undermine everything our military families have given. It’s time to defend their healthcare and honor their service. To do anything else would be dishonorable in every way.

Times like this reveal everyone's character.

Never forget the people who giddily collaborated with fascists.

Also, never forget the people who would rather die than bend the knee.

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?

it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC.

i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list:
