Americans didn't vote for tripling health care premiums.

Or a war over oil. Or secret police in their neighborhood.

They voted for lower costs, and Republicans are failing them over and over again.

“A coup is happening in the United States.”

Jason Stanley, author of How Fascism Works, argues that President Donald Trump is leading an unlawful takeover of the US government.
I study fascism. I’ve already fled America.
On this week’s “More To The Story,” former Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains his recent move to Canada and calls the Trump administration’s takeover of the US government a “coup.”

Fascism, the U.S. government document explained, “is government by the few and for the few. The objective is seizure and control of the economic, political, social, and cultural life of the state.” “The people run democratic governments, but fascist governments run the people.”

Some thoughts about the murder by ICE in Minnesota.
This is the time for all of us to demand much better and to show what’s right.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

France at the UN Security Council:

"The military operation which led to the capture of Nicolas Maduro runs counter to the principle of peaceful dispute resolution and the principle of non use of force. Violations of the UN Charter... chips away at the very foundation of the international order."

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to make sure this is very clear.

The Trump administration is lying to Congress and ignoring our constitutionally required approval for military action. This is what dictators do.

This war is not just unjustified—it is unauthorized.

Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Articles of Impeachment need to be filed. Make Trump defend, in the media, his public tweets about hanging members of Congress by the neck until dead.

Let's see if he has the courage.

The oversized influence of dark money in our government is making it impossible for our democracy to function as intended.

We need to root out corruption and make sure that working Americans’ voices are heard in the halls of Congress.

If President Trump allows SNAP to expire, @boston.gov will be ready to help our neighbors.

If you need assistance during this time of intense and entirely preventable need, go to boston.gov/SNAP or call 311.

While 42M Americans — including a million in MA — lose food assistance, USDA has billions to keep SNAP going.

Every other president has used it. Donald Trump is choosing not to.

I’m joining 21 governors calling on the President to do the right thing and release the funds.

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website.

Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.
