This is why Trump & Republicans went into the shutdown so confident. They banked on the Democratic Party’s weak reputation and assumed they would cave.

Well that’s not happening. Democrats are on the right side of the healthcare fight, and rank-and-file Dems want this battle because it’s worth it.

Jeffries: "The streets are hot right now on Capitol Hill because the Republicans are just falling apart. They cannot justify their position having shut the government down. They cannot justify their position in terms of hiding the Epstein files from the American people."

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops.

📌 Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.

Prosecuting political opponents, abducting immigrants, deploying troops in our streets, silencing voters, defying the courts — this is a dictatorship in action.

Trump thinks his rule is absolute. Join millions of Americans to remind him there are NO KINGS in the USA: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Governor Pritzker on Bluesky: “I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?”

Whether you're a Democrat or Republican, you probably privately agree on this much:

Trump and his lawyers—Bondi and Patel—are ACTING like the Epstein Files include smoking-gun evidence of Trump raping kids.

They are ACTING like a domestic military escalation is worth distracting us from the Files.
