YES! If the Oregon National guard were to be deployed they would be instructed to protect the PROTESTORS not ICE!

Democrats are rejecting a 7-week “band-aid” that delays the fight—because waiting means 20M face higher premiums ＆ 15M could lose Medicaid.

Better to fight now than abandon families later.

Families like this Georgia family are having to pay quadruple the cost just to stay insured on the lowest cost.
Republicans own this.

Dr. Durrani reminds us: ER doctors are proud to care for anyone, anywhere, 24/7, 365. They swore an oath to heal, not to play politics. Trump’s cruel cuts betray that oath and put lives at risk. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

Even 59% of MAGA want ACA tax credits to stay. 70% of ACA enrollees would blame Trump or GOP if the credits expire. This is winnable. Keep calling your MOC (855-249-6462) to demand they restore healthcare (or thank them for standing strong for healthcare).

Exactly! Negative comments come from fear. While fear is understandable, it only hurts yourself and your allies. Be brave. Find some form of positive action and do that. It is the balm for fear.

"They'll do it anyway"
"He'll ignore the courts"
"That won't change anything"

These comments ONLY help the oppressors and are a kick in the shin to those of us actually doing the work.

Either support and encourage us verbally - or even better, join us - or just STFU.

Jay Kuo
Darren Kemp This is a common misperception. The White House has only directly ignored a handful of orders, all related to immigration, but it had obeyed most all others.
The White House wants you to think it is flaunting all judicial orders but it’s just not true. Just like if wants you to believe Portland is a war hellscape.
The regime is focusing on one small exception and trying to make people believe it is the rule. Don’t fall for it!

Since 1996, illegals immigrants have never been eligible for Medicare or Medicaid- Only emergency care. If you believe otherwise you’ve been lied to by the GOP.

Mikie Sherrill leads with courage for New Jersey. Meanwhile, @jack4nj admits there’s nothing he disagrees with Donald on. That’s blind obedience, not leadership.

Jersey deserves a leader, not a Trump echo. #VoteNJ

Jeffries & the Dems will be at the Capitol, ready to meet Friday, in public, with the press watching. Will Trump, Vance, Thune, and Johnson show up? Or will they keep hiding behind staged pressers and photo ops with “Trump 2028” hats and posting racist AI memes?
