America does not want us to fund a lawless out of control ICE.

- No more roving patrols or profiling. ICE/CBP are not trained to do this. And it's wrong. Require warrants.
- No more secret police. Take off the masks. Show ID.
- And real accountability for murder and assault.

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity.

As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous.

As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime.

As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

Pretty much everyone on IG who has been carefully quiet about politics is speaking out.

It’s. Weird.

I’m not on there all that much, but I think people have finally been given social permission to say the uncomfortable thing.

I think they realize not speaking up will be read as acceptance.

#FreeAmerica #FreeAmericaWalkout Stood out in my neighborhood by a busy road. Got 7 honks, many smiles, a few waves, many quizzical looks. One person pulled over with thanks. Just couldn't face driving today.

There are 481 protests and rallies today.
Most are a part of the Free America Walkout.

Be bold today.
Every act of resistance brings us one step closer to freedom.

Trump promised to lower costs "on Day One."

We're one year in, and:

- the cost of groceries is up
- the cost of housing is up
- the cost of healthcare is up

Millions of seniors and people with disabilities are waiting on the phone for HOURS to get help from Trump's Social Security Administration.
American's shouldn't get kicked around when they need help accessing the benefits they’re owed.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.

Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.

No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.

That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

If you take the time to read the whole Gates memo (which I did), the bulk of the content was mostly solid and encouraging. Really!

It was the FRAME that was off--very off, from the first line.

And when your framing is off, then how you make decisions and set priorities is off. THAT'S the problem.
