American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Trump promised free plane tickets and $1,000 “exit bonuses” to immigrants who opted to self-deport.
ProPublica spoke to a dozen Venezuelan immigrants who said they followed the president’s instructions, yet never received the promised assistance.

These lies are pissing me off.
This isn’t about health care for undocumented immigrants – that’s already against the law.
It’s about the fact that Republicans are intentionally skyrocketing your premiums.

I don't often quote the president, but here goes:
"If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the one that has to get people together."

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

What’s at stake here is free speech.
Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel.
We need to all stand up and speak out.
