Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

What a pathetic lie, JD. Nobody’s arguing for benefits for people who are undocumented.

But now that we’ve cleared that up, are you saying you WILL support continued ACA health care tax credits for millions of U.S. CITIZENS?

That’s what we’re fighting for!

My local ABC affiliate is STILL censoring Jimmy Kimmel even though the network brought him back. Please cancel cancel culture, please and thanks.

Censorship never stops with just one book, one newspaper, one person. The end goal of censorship is always complete control.

For Christ's sake, Kimmel just showed a video of the President's own words.

Stop capitulating. It will never save you in the end.
