Our country is in great danger right now. They’re taking our healthcare. Our voting rights. Our women’s rights. Our civil rights. They’re occupying our cities and debating martial law. The Epstein files have likely been wiped clean. Let’s make sure the same doesn’t happen to our constitution. #FOCUS

Government shutdown or not, Palantir still gets paid on most existing contracts.

The hypocrisy is clear: Wall Street & gov-tied firms keep raking it in during shutdowns, but ordinary Americans pay the price in healthcare, delayed paychecks & stalled services. #FightOligarchy

“But six failed votes late…

High-profile GOP defectors are now openly pushing their leaders to reverse course and come to the negotiating table over the thorny issue of reviving expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies.”

👍 Keep up the pushback

Republican unity to avoid shutdown concessions is cracking after 6 failed votes

When the shutdown commenced, it was Republicans who were confident that Democrats would crack. Now it's Republican resolve that is increasingly in question.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

It’s OFFICIAL: there are more marble statues of old guys over in the House of Representatives than there are actual Republican House members!

If those statues could talk: What are the Epstein files? What are they so afraid of? They haven’t been to work for how many days? 20. Did you say 20? 20.

Every, single hour in Chicago there are more and more reports of acts of violence committed against civilians, citizens and peaceful protesters by federal agents. THIS IS NOT NORMAL.

Democratic Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine - once again broke ranks and voted to advance the GOP stopgap bill.

TikTok is still illegal. Whatever, man.

Tariffs violate dozens of treaties. Who cares?

Impoundment? What are laws & contracts, anyway?

Hatch Act? Feh. Own the libs.

You don’t have to ask <if> or <when> the democratic backsliding will begin. You (& I) already don’t live under the rule of law.

18 USC 2381: "Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against THEM...is guilty of treason..."

Isn't this what Trump is doing to our states with his DHS/ICE army & federalized National Guard troops?

P.S. Our states are 'them.'
