Despite strong objections from Governor Pritzker, Mayor Johnson, and the people of Chicago, the Trump regime is preparing to deploy National Guard troops in Chicago today.

If you are in Chicago and need guidance on how to interact with the Guard, here’s a helpful guide:

Now would be a great time for all of us to make daily calls to our “reps”. Especially since the entire House has been sent home until October 13.

Choose your topic:

Shutdown
Rising insurance costs
NG goons shooting pastors
Trump’s abuse of power
Cabinet loyalists as liars
Etc.

I often wonder about that also. Perhaps they thought we’d all roll over and because we aren’t it infuriates them?

#AZ07 voters are being denied their representation by speaker Mikey & the current regime. Their refusal to swear in duly elected Adelita implies a whole lot of republikkklans must be in the #EpsteinFiles by this massive attempted coverup.

Vote for democrats up & down the ballot!

My constituents want me to get to work but House Republicans are more concerned about protecting the Epstein files.

Why does Trump think he's going to get away with jacking up health premiums on families by 75% in order to fund a giant tax cut for his billionaire pals?

Because he thinks his campaign to repress free speech will keep us quiet.

But he's wrong. We are fighting back.

Please share this far and wide; Adelita Grijalva won the ELECTION 71% to 27%; but Mikey the Johnson is holding up her appointment; because he’s protecting PEDOPREZ!

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

The Government is shut down for two reasons:
1. To raise your healthcare costs
2. To delay releasing the Epstein files
That’s it.
