The Republicans attacks on the No Kings protests are sickening.
To them, only pro-Trump speech is protected. If you oppose Trump - you "hate America" or you're a "terrorist".
What they're trying to do is simple: suppress turnout this weekend. Don't let them win.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

It is imperative that Congress convene as soon as possible to address this crisis, to vote on the bipartisan War Powers Act introduced last week, and to make clear to the President that the United States must not be dragged into another war in the Middle East. (2/2)

The United States should not wage war against Iran.
Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war.
This is a horrific war of choice.

Trump has effectively launched the U.S. into war without congressional approval, without a declaration, and entirely on impulse.

While Mike Lee and Steve Daines' Senate Natural Resources Committee amendment to the budget reconciliation package mandates the sale of up to 3.3 million acres of public land, what most people miss is that it also authorizes the sale of 258 million acres. That's 40 percent of all public land:
