Just mention that the price of something is going to increase sometime down the road, and it spikes almost immediately. I've seen it, time and time again.

To the 22 million Americans who will see their health insurance premiums spike if Republicans get their way on this shutdown:

Trump, Mike Johnson and Republicans in Congress say that you are all “illegal aliens”.

Also, a woman was handcuffed at a subway station in NYC (Franklin Ave) when she intervened asking why a delivery man was asked to show work permit by undercover agents. There is a video of that.

We are sending people for indefinite detention without trial at a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer teams and about loving their mothers.
I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at.

You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters.

Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten
This was the way.

Smash and Grab if they have to. But not if, one by one, we just lay down. By summer I predict most of us will experience that pain. I have no doubt that anything is possible.

Back to Government 101 Mr. Fake Hillbilly What's His Name.

We already have a constitution. Piss off.
We’ve had checks & balances & separation of powers embedded into the founding of our national govt specifically because the Framers anticipated that some day an executive might come along like Trump. For over 2 centuries we have also had judicial review. It’s all under siege now.

I would also highlight that the person Elon Musk is retweeting literally has “Insurrection” in their name
After a NY judge blocked DOGE access to Treasury data, Elon Musk just reposted a user who implied that the judge’s order should be defied ⬇️ 👇

“I don’t like the precedent it sets when you defy a judicial ruling, but I’m just wondering what other options are these judges leaving us…”

I hear a lot of people say calling doesn't help, but it does. They're getting overwhelmed with angry calls, and when it keeps happening, they get. If their phones are off write emails and hard mail. Do it every day until they start to worry.
No!
Cuts!
To!

If you’re angry that Congress is idly standing by while Trump seizes absolute authority through brazenly illegal power grabs—restructuring the entire government around his own cruel and arbitrary whims by executive decree—you should call your representatives and tell them: 202-224-3121

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

The pause is part of a larger blackout on research at NIH and across the government. The Trump admin paused all external communications—”health advisories, weekly reports, updates to websites and social media posts” at HHS, which includes the NIH, FDA, and CDC.

A sobering analysis of Trump's certification as 47th president, examining key factors: SCOTUS decisions on 14th Amendment challenges, presidential immunity ruling, and delayed criminal proceedings. Notable shift in media landscape as outlets appear to quietly align with Trump.
