Since every Republican in Congress is repeating their false talking point over & over that “Democrats want to shut down the govt to give free healthcare to illegal aliens,” it would be helpful if some Democrats in Congress could address that argument with facts at some point.

Legit question for folks who may have insight (i.e., not bait for anti-MAGA likes).
I served as civilian support of US military for 5 yrs & most folks I met/worked with would be appalled by Trump's use of military as a prop. What is going on inside the Pentagon??? Where is the pushback?

It was absolutely part of @npr.org “we have to save our funding even if we completely lose our soul in the process” efforts. I listened to those two idiots and couldn’t believe there was hardly any pushback in their disinformation. Then platforming Bannon & Rufo too? Wtf. NPR doesn’t need my $$$.
I was even more disappointed yesterday when Here and Now had two Trump voters that were completely ill-informed. They were platformed as if they were experts on something. There was no pushback when they made comments like Trump isn’t getting paid to be president. What has happened to NPR?

ICE is entrapping people who are here legally---telling them to report to the Immigration Office to advance their status--and then abducts them for deportation without due process. This can't be legal.

More evidence that US citizens are not safe in this assault on democracy. Two American citizens detained while driving home. Of note: "CBP insists that the incident was routine...that can 'apply for any traveler'.”
Expect to see "detentions" of US citizens become routine under this corrupt regime.
