Please use critical thinking.

They demonize Universal Healthcare because they can’t make money on it.

People are killing our nation just because they don’t research anything!

Please use critical thinking.

Our nation needs everyone to think AND question.

What if we got it wrong? What if the chase for the files is the bait… and while we stare at the hook, they tear the Constitution—page by page, in silence
We’re so busy waiting for the big reveal, we’re missing the slow burn of our own democracy.

People aren’t going to want to pay for childcare and transportation to and from the office if they don’t think they’ll ever see a paycheck for the work they did during the shutdown.

Always!

Just the reason I don’t understand the vitriol against them.

Ignorance is the issue.

Republicans should lose EVERY ELECTION from now on.

Haw many times will they slap average Americans in the face with not reaction?

I thought we were fighters?

You fight more for your car, than you do for our country.

Let’s change that.

And Trump’s threat not to pay backpay to federal workers is only going to make this worse‼️

Wake up people, trump must be removed from office. A president calling for Gov Pritzker and others political opponents to be jailed should frighten everyone regardless of party. That is fascism.

Trump loves to create chaos

Employees have always received back pay after a furlough

He’s hinting that only those who deserve to be paid will be reimbursed;
Does that mean Republicans, only

He caused the shutdown but Congress reimburses the people

His mind forsakes him more each day

It is not us who are weak. Mike Johnson and the rest of the Republican Congressman sycophants are weak. We have never been the weak ones. Hell, we are the only ones with any guts at all.

It pisses me off that people are out here saying the Dems are weak. The GoP are the most spineless, cowardly, useless group of people I’ve ever seen. In. My. Life. They have the power to stop all this and release the Epstein Files but they’re too scared of trump to do it.

www.nbcnews.com/politics/don... #ProudBlue. Trump says he will invoke “Insurrection Act if courts are holding us up” The act is not meant to be invoked if a court rules against Trump or his unconstitutional over reaching regime. Stephen Miller declared “liberal judges” terrorists. They are targets

Trump floats invoking the Insurrection Act

The 1807 law, which allows the military to conduct civilian law enforcement activities under certain circumstances, hasn’t been used since the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

Trump lies “I haven’t heard the name in a long time” when asked about a pardon for his long time friend “Ghislaine Maxwell. That is a provable lie. Todd Blanche promised Maxwell a transfer and pardon. Trump knows it. Pam Bondi knows it. And the entire world knows it. Trump lies again #ProudBlue

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.

Don't play their game. Do an end run & go direct to the voters, esp in Trump voter areas. Give them a fighting chance to save their affordable healthcare and prevent loss of even more local clinics & hospitals.

Democrat Senators, don't be Charlie Brown, you know what will happen!

Trump and Noem’s tactics:

Deploy troops to cities where there are peaceful protestors. Throw smoke grenades and shoot rubber bullets in crowd. Start pushing. And start the cameras rolling.

That’s the war zones they’re creating. And MSM should be clarifying that.

According to Robert Reich, "everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly."
