No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

Another way of looking at the GOP's plans to gut Medicaid expansion while also allowing IRA subsidies to expire: The net outcome would be *at least* half of those w/ACA-provided healthcare to become uninsured...without them actually repealing the law.

I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack.

I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

Promises made, promises kept.

Stand by for details....
If this is enacted, Indiana will be sued.
NEW: Indiana already has stringent voter ID rules... & the GOP is advancing a bill right now to strip university IDs from the list of options you can use.

This would make it much harder for students to vote.

At polling site at IU Bloomington, 2/3rds of voters in November used their student IDs.

This is HUGE.

After Republicans used the tactic of disparaging Democrats for supporting a project with a Chinese-backed company in Michigan to win the election, that same company gave Trump's Inaugural Fund a $1 million.

Chinese Company Makes Huge Donation to Trump After He Uses Them to Win the Election
Trump and other prominent Republicans campaigned last year on the premise of keeping Chinese values and money out of America, but Trump took $1 million from the company he opposed only months ago.

The IRS lists six reasons it can revoke 501(c)(3) status. Not one applies to Harvard:
➡️operation for private benefit/inurement
➡️excess lobbying
➡️electoral activity
➡️excess unrelated business income
➡️fail to file three straight 990 annual returns
➡️no longer being operated for original exempt purposes

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.
