The problem is that these new ICE agents were trained, not by professionals, but by playing video games with zero consequences other than virtually “dying”. Some one is coming towards you? Shoot them. Then move on to the next target.

This is what our tax dollars are paying for. Im outraged, but so grateful to the young man who kept his camera on the scene. #ice #NotMyAmerica

My boycott of amazon has caused me to be creative with my shopping. I’ve been relying on the Goods Unite Us app to learn what political affiliations different companies have before buying anything.

How many countries are we sending kidnapped people to? How much are we paying? Five million here, 7 million there… I’m curious to know the per capita cost. HOW MUCH AM I PAYING WITH MY TAX DOLLARS TO KIDNAP HUMAN BEINGS AND SHIP THEM OFF TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY?

Nick Fuentes is the face and future of young Republicans

Thank you @neguse.house.gov for reframing this question. It’s the Republicans who are holding up the show.
I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

HOLD THE LINE!
Democrats must HOLD THE LINE. Do not cave to right-wing ideologues who have ripped away health care from millions of Americans.

Keep fighting, and we will have your back.

Did you know the House can’t adjourn for more than three days without the consent of the Senate approval? Call your Reps! Has the Republican Senate approved this?

Heres the relevant text from our Constitution: Article 1, Section 5, Clause 4

Didn’t sleep well last night and tuned in around 12:30. Among the great points @merkley.senate.gov made, especially with quotes from How Democracies Die, I enjoyed hearing Midnight Ride of Paul Revere multiple times. Really glad other Senators are joining him and asking insightful questions.
The President is not a king.
The law is not a suggestion.
The Constitution is not optional.

Good morning everyone!

After some rough times, we’re heading into yet another shutdown week feeling lifted by the community spirit of the #NoKings marches.

We’re going to call our reps to make sure they’re paying attention.

What are you doing to help keep the momentum going?
