American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

Remember to bring your American Flag 🇺🇸
Almost all Americans are descendants of immigrants
Respect for the Constitution is what sets America apart from authoritarian regimes.
The image of these protests with American flags flying is hard to spin as UnAmerican

It appears that the federal agents occupying Portland have people embedded with them charged with the task of producing stories presenting the government’s version of events. Ironically, this was the sort of work JD Vance did in Iraq before he decided he was against that war.

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

This feels like evidence Trump's aides are deliberately gaslighting him, which is unfortunately very easy to do with dementia sufferers (Trump did it to his father) and which aides are using to seize control of the US military for their own purposes.
The protests are on one block. Nothing is burning down. His justification for sending in troops is all based on lies.

lying, spinning, and outside the letter and spirit of the law.
Mike Johnson just shrugged off the idea of U.S. troops using American cities as military “training grounds.”
He called it a “win-win.”
No, Mike, turning our neighborhoods into staging areas for war isn’t democracy, it’s authoritarianism in uniform.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."
Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.
Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

I hope the DNC is listening, because here is something very important: you don’t need to hire a bunch of high dollar consultants for “messaging.”
Talk to voters about prices and why they are so high. My MAGA mom just told my stepdad that prices are high because of Trump‘s tariffs.

The government is shutting down because Republicans WANT it shut down. They never had any intention to negotiate a deal. They can lay off more people, consolidate more power, and delay a vote on the Epstein files. Lying so that they can blame Democrats is an added bonus for them.
