This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

This is authoritarianism, plain and simple. The Trump administration is targeting states that didn’t vote for him — including my home state of Vermont. Using federal power to punish political opponents is anti-democratic and blatantly illegal.

21 y/o activist injured by ICE: I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. I can't sneeze or cough because it's dangerous to. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. This story is not getting enough attention.

It's time for our party to be partisan, to punch back *harder* than the MAGA extremists, and to represent the overwhelming number of Americans who know Trump has gone much too far. Every elected Democrat should be taking action TODAY! P.S. - F*ck your strongly worded letters.

Reminder: ICE has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world. It has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office. Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

Show up, create chaos, scare the shit out of the citizens, and when one freaks out and tries to run, shoot her. The death penalty for disobeying ICE. Then, when you go to court, lie about how "in danger" you felt. Didn't we just claim we rescued Venezuela from a dictator attacking his own citizens?

#JAN6 #CapitolInsurrection
Five years since January 6, 2021.
A mob incited by Donald Trump attacked the U.S.
Capitol to try to overturn an election he lost.
Don't let them rewrite history. This was an attack on the Constitution and the peaceful transfer of power.

Trump has not ruled out using force to take Greenland, though he says he plans to pursue an offer to buy it instead. In response, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Denmark issued a joint statement reaffirming Greenland’s status and sovereignty.

Sorry for the length, but this is important. The Trump administration is spreading more lies in an attempt to gain access to your data. Fraud is being used as the justification, but no public evidence has been presented showing new, widespread fraud in the five

Micro Johnson won't convene Congress until January. Thereby giving all decisions to the Executive Branch aka WH. Which sounds redundant because the felon is THE Congress, SCOTUS and president (or Stephen Miller via spoon fed mic on his "damaged" ear).
