The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

I feel some members of scotus should def be impeached for their failure to protect our constitution. Some of them in fact have blatantly worked to destroy it!

It’s been his dream since his first term. I see him wanting to invoke the act so it will be in place by October 18, the next No Kings Day. We cannot let it deter us or we will lose everything to this incompetent mad man!

We need to get someone in the presidency that will help provide Ukraine with the best tools to defeat Russia and also let Ukraine decide how they need to use those tools. Why does Russia get to decide all the rules and why does the west abide by them!

The rump loves Putin. We need to get him out of office before the US starts experiencing a rash of people falling from windows.

Trump and Noem’s tactics:

Deploy troops to cities where there are peaceful protestors. Throw smoke grenades and shoot rubber bullets in crowd. Start pushing. And start the cameras rolling.

That’s the war zones they’re creating. And MSM should be clarifying that.

First they exclude people of color, then women. Don’t be mistaken, the end game is to exclude everyone. Only those in control of our new authoritarian government and its oligarchs will have any sort of freedom or prosperity. Sound familiar? Look up “Russia!”

Don't play their game. Do an end run & go direct to the voters, esp in Trump voter areas. Give them a fighting chance to save their affordable healthcare and prevent loss of even more local clinics & hospitals.

Democrat Senators, don't be Charlie Brown, you know what will happen!

Rep Swalwell (D-CA) tells Simon Rosenberg that Democrats are united and making sure the American people know that #TrumpShutUSDown All so he and MAGA Republicans can rob us of our healthcare to give tax cuts to billionaires. Republicans don’t give a shit about working families.

It's Wednesday friends!

We've been through some dark times in this country.

The current times are starting to become darker than a holler road at midnight in SE Kentucky.

Let's have a giggle to start it all off today.

It pisses me off that people are out here saying the Dems are weak. The GoP are the most spineless, cowardly, useless group of people I’ve ever seen. In. My. Life. They have the power to stop all this and release the Epstein Files but they’re too scared of trump to do it.
