A lot of time and effort has gone into survey research around what is the best protest sign slogan, message, wording etc and to be frank the research is pretty clear the most effective things you can do at a protest are express joy and express camaraderie, don't overthink it

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. Convincing colleagues to vote with them is the literal job of politicians - if they can’t do that, they can’t do their jobs. They own this shutdown and all of the consequences.

WHOA.
Tom Homan was being investigated for accepting a $50K bribe from undercover agents before Trump and Pam Bondi shut it down.
The $$$ was in exchange for access to government contracts in Trump’s 2nd term.
HUGE scoop.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.
And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.
I refuse to sanitize him.

It’s cruel and despicable
This is the digital stasi. Social media influencers utilizing tips from followers for content that they monetize while working with state actors to target the people they want.
It's all a spectacle packaged as content. Destroying people's lives for profitable ideological bloodsport.

This piece dissecting Mike Lawler's lies about the SALT deduction is so good and detailed that EVERY voter in #NY17 needs to read it.
In fact it should be required reading across all SALT-impacted states like NY, NJ, CA, etc.

Putting the military on the street will lower crime. It does in North Korea, did in Nazi Germany, and in the book 1984.
The question isn’t will it lower crime. The question is do we want to be a nation governed like this. Until 6 minutes ago the GOP believed in LOCAL control.
