#StaceyAbrams explains how to achieve an #autocracy in 10 steps.

We're at step 9.

The military is in our streets. Is our democracy worth the effort to defend it?

THE SITUATION ROOM
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"

Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

Conservative columnist for the NYT David French writes today, "until the demand for decency reaches toward the very top of the movement, then Trump's malignant influence will continue to metastasize, and he'll hand the baton to [someone] who extends [his] legacy of cruelty, bigotry, and rage."

The fact none of them are up in 2026 makes this so fucking obvious that it's honestly kinda insulting they think we're this fucking stupid.

No agreement on healthcare but the government will temporarily reopen.

Wish Dems would have stood their ground.

Many millions will now shift to not purchasing any health insurance or signing for high deductible health plans that strain budgets without offering robust coverage.

Sandwich Guy appears to have more decency in his fingertip than the entirety of the Trump administration.
Sean Dunn, aka DC Sandwich Guy, speaks outside court after his not guilty verdict:

“I am so happy that justice prevails in spite of everything….

“That night I believe I was protecting the rights of immigrants…

Every life matters, no matter where you came from, no matter how you got here…”

Socialism would be a clear improvement over the total crony capitalism for the 1% & his friends & family, plus the fascist ICE raids to round up immigrant citizens & his autocratic dismemberment of democracy, wouldn’t it??

And the economy weakens by the day under tariffs & gov’t + private layoffs.

Don't think that would happen. In 2026 or 2028 congress needs to put in safe guards that no president has immunity and no man is above the law. Also 20 year terms for SCOTUS and they cant take money or gifts from the rich.

Of course I'm worried about socialism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani one day becomes President and nationalizes industry, imposes historic tax hikes, goes after the media, builds a secret national police force, militarizes the country, and sends people to camps.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC

I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Disgusting! In a government shutdown, as it is the Congress that has the ability to end it, they should be the first ones to stop getting paid. It's BS for them to keep paying themselves while they furlough, fire, or force to work with no pay those who earn so much less than they do.
Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

When you're a sociopath and get angry that someone else's medical emergency, just four feet away, drew focus from your gloating and you forget which lie you were on.

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.
Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.
