Grassroots movements didn’t just inspire Nancy Pelosi—they fueled her. She never forgot that change starts in neighborhoods, not Capitol Hill. Her power came from listening to people, amplifying their stories, and turning their demands into law. #ThankYouNancy

Official VA emails advising veterans and federal employees to blame the "Radical Left" for the shutdown instead of Trump are facing criticism for using government channels for partisan propaganda, which violates the Hatch Act.

As Trump gets ready to send more National Guard into a Democratic city, it's useful to see what the Memphis Police have to say about 9-month YTD crime in the city:
Murder: 6 yr low
Agg assault: 5 yr low
Sex assault: 20 (!) yr low
Robbery, burglary, larceny: 25 (!!) yr low
Not.
On.
Fire.

US Tourism officials & politicians keep downplaying the drop in tourism.
Canadian snowbirds, who spend their winter & bring a lot of money into the US economy, are selling off their properties & not coming back. Florida & Arizona will be ground zero for this.
Winter is coming, Canadians are not.

Trump dump? More than half of Canadians with U.S. properties want to ditch them - National | Globalnews.ca
A majority of those planning to sell — 62 per cent — said the main reason they wanted to sell was 'due to the current political administration in the United States.'

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

NEVER FORGET: Trump’s military parade in June COST an estimated $92M. NOW the Quantico event logistics of transporting, housing, & securing HUNDREDS of officers & support staff IS WASTE (& SECURITY RISK), ESPECIALLY when defense budgets are ALREADY strained (& Trump wants to STOP Trans Healthcare).🔥

Republicans in the House narrowly passed a stopgap bill on Friday to avert a government shutdown. But the measure appeared dead on arrival in the Senate, where Democrats demanding more than $1 trillion for health programs have vowed to block it.

We’re protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility and an agent came out to tell us to go away.
We said we’re exercising our First Amendment rights so he shot the ground with pepper balls and said, “Your First Amendment rights are on the sidewalk.”
