Republicans are shutting down the government because they don’t want to fix the health care crisis they created. They’re holding the entire government hostage so they can raise health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throw millions off their health care. NO.

That soldier is standing there, he wants to knock the hell out of the person but he's not allowed to do anything. So they just stand & get abused. I say, they spit, we hit. Is that okay?"

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

I wish there was a polite way to tell someone they need to ‘log off’. I’ve seen many people clearly in an anger spiral over something they read online that would really benefit from taking a break, but if you say anything it seems combative or they’ll get defensive. Real life > social media, friends

If ever there was a time not to normalize Trump’s authoritarian fever dreams, this is it. This should be impeachable. ‘War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

Portland is not "war ravaged." This is delusional and dangerous. Sending troops into American cities doesn't make our communities safer — it just stokes fear and stirs up chaos. Trump is plunging further into authoritarianism every single day.
