I HOPE America will WTFU Up, but I have my doubts. I have 5 living educated adult children > all Dems way ahead of me > a life-long Rep until 2020. They view current events as #crazy, but see it as just another change in priorities from 1 party to another. DO NOT recognize the peril to the Republic

Invocation of the Insurrection Act based on false allegations/outright LIES would be seen as an #ActOfWar against the American People. Suspend civil liberties.

The #LastStraw in a “long train of abuses” by this government.

"This guy is a convicted felon. I mean think about that – who's threatening to jail me... This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?
