Speaker Johnson said it was the Dems who were acting “wildly inappropriate” by suggesting military members should disobey unlawful orders.
Rephrased, Trump & Johnson are saying that troops must obey unlawful orders.
Unlawful orders.
"Do the illegal thing I'm ordering you to do."

I am disappointed, scared for so many, and angry. So now millions of people on ACA are screwed? Many of those people with very small businesses, trying to build something for their little part of the American dream.
Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

When I was 11 my mother got me a book that had the Lord's prayer in it. I have to say, this was not the imagery in that book, and this has not been the imagery in my mind since then. Feels like a perversion.
Add a dose of propaganda to your morning coffee.. This smells of Russian-like “special operation”

This graph, and the one I attached, are why just renewing the subsidies for ACA plans is not enough. It’s a bare minimum- but our healthcare system is broken. We pay Maserati prices for Pinto performance

Can’t afford healthcare? Tough luck. But don’t worry, Kristi Noem’s getting two brand-new Gulfstream jets for $172 million on your dime. Because apparently “fiscal responsibility” only applies to the rest of us.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!
Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

As we get more reports of ICE thugs detaining Americans, it should be noted that Timothy Snyder made it crystal clear from the onset of ICE raids that NO ONE would be safe.

People tell ICE: "I'm an American." They illegally detain us anyway.

Bc WE already let them erode due process for immigrants.

The only way this woefully inadequate healthcare system gets fixed such that we joint the rest of the developed world where spending has a relationship to outcomes is by moving to universal coverage. It’s going to take a shock (I thought COVID might do it). Maybe this is it- when it just breaks 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hubert Humphrey said the moral test of government isn’t how it treats the healthy, but how it treats the sick, the elderly, and people with disabilities.

As I said today on the Senate floor, we are facing a moral test. This isn’t about blame. It’s about Americans’ health care.

Everytime I listen to Stephen Miller I think of this one angry nerdy bitter kid I went to high school with who used to have just one line in his AIM profile, the Radiohead lyric:

“When I am king, you will be first against the wall”
The year is 2003.

17-year-old Stephen Miller is sitting in the back of a school bus talking about torture, as in “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity."

Miller looks directly into the camera and describes the torturing Iraqis in gruesome detail, as his peers laugh uncomfortably.

I don’t even need the files to tell me that. All I have to do is look at how people are acting.

A small cross section of former federal workers, and what has been lost along with them.
Former Federal Workers on the Cost of Trump's Cuts (Gift Article)
The New York Times photographed and interviewed two dozen former federal workers from across the country to get a sense of what they left behind and what they face next.
