The founding fathers did not live and die to see this moment. It’s time for all of us to stand up peacefully.

A woman walking home alone was shot point-blank with “non-lethal” rounds fired by officers in Los Angeles. A neighbor filmed the assault and rushed to help only to be fired on and ordered back.

Is this when it really starts to fall apart? Spent many years stationed at CPEN and many of my Marines were from the area, had family in the area. Just like the CA Nat Guard. This is all some dangerous shit.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

The world is watching. And we have friends everywhere. Upload everything, every moment. Don’t give them the chance to twist the truth. We have people on the way to help. You’re not alone. ✊🌙💚

Abolishing ICE doesn’t seem so radical for people right now.

Your safety is the top priority. Peaceful protesters have already been harmed for doing nothing. The story they’re selling isn’t legit. Please film everything, document everything.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

Please call your senators, both Democrats and Republican, and insist they read the entire reconciliation bill before they vote on it! They must know all the poison pills slipped into the bill and remove all lines that do not impact the budget!

I feel safer already.

Number of felony convictions by President.

Tucked inside the House GOP tax bill? A massive national voucher program. $5B/year in tax credits to subsidize private & religious schools—$20B over 4 years. Public money, zero oversight. A backdoor defund of public education masked as “choice.” Hands Off Public Schools

Joni should be tarred and feathered. She is despicable!

CBS reporter Scott Pelley: This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”. If you haven’t already shared this, please do.

New working paper on Medicaid, based on Medicaid expansions, finds: *Medicaid reduced mortality hazard for new enrollees by 21% *expansions were cost-effective *lack of health insurance explains about 5-20% of the mortality disparity between high- & low-income Americans www.nber.org/papers/w33719

So, do you think they will listen to the Senate Parliamentarian in regard to the big ugly bill? 🙄 bsky.app/profile/npr....

RFK says you need to have one of these conditions in order to receive the Covid vaccination. If you are healthy and below 65 years old, you are not eligible to get a Covid shot.

One of many poison pills embedded in the big ugly bill!

Just a reminder that Illinois is one of the trigger law states. What does that mean? It means that if the federal government cuts anything from Medicaid, Illinois will end its Medicaid expansion program under the ACA. Those of us on the ACA Medicaid expansion program will lose our healthcare.

ALL UNION MEMBERS PAY ATTENTION TRUMP IS COMING FOR YOU NEXT HOLY COW😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 apnews.com/article/trum...

The House is moving to approve massive health care cuts. Here are the details, outlined by @familiesusa.bsky.social: familiesusa.org/wp-content/u... #HandsOffMedicaid #MedicaidMatters #ProtectMedicaid

This is truly sickening

Imagine having to lie like this every day.

"Some National Weather Service offices, including Jackson, no longer have overnight staff from midnight to 7AM. All three Kentucky offices - Jackson, Paducah and Louisville - are short-staffed. There is no meteorologist in charge at any of the three offices..." www.kentucky.com/news/state/k...

The Chief Justice helped create this disaster. He needs to help fix it.

Project 2025 mastermind Russell Vought replaces Elon Musk as the head of DOGE - WSJ

House Speaker Mike Johnson said he supports a ban on stock trading by members of Congress amid controversy about well-timed trades during recent market volatility.

Remember that Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, was a lobbyist for Qatar. In essence, she was a registered agent for Qatar. There is no conflict of interest when it comes to lavish gifts given to FOTUS from Qatar, like a $400 million dollar jet plane. Nothing to see here.🙄🤔
