*warning, sarcasm ahead*

Wait wait this can’t be right…Donald Trump knows nothing about Project 2025 and definitely wasn’t using it as a platform for his administration. He told us that during the campaign. It can’t be that he lied can it?

Impeach Hegseth NOW. He is urging war crimes & illegal acts by our troops

Text SIGN PGKHYC to 50409 — Impeach Hegseth now. His speech today was dangerous and alarming. He was asking our armed forces to break the law: he encouraged US soldiers to commit war crimes against US citizens on U.S. soil. That would meet the definition of treason, right? He also urged the military to blindly follow political and illegal orders. I am appalled. You should be too. His speech was grossly authoritarian, and puts our national security and individual freedom at risk. How long are you going to tolerate the shredding of the constitution by those who swore to uphold it? Hegseth needs to be removed now.

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

DC wasn’t a one-off. It’s a test run:
bypass local leaders,
impose federal control,
normalize military-style policing.
If it stands in DC, no city is safe.
Prepare now to defend local democracy
—lawful, nonviolent, and people-led.
