I don’t know if it’s just that he is paying them off. But, it’s more like threatening. I’m sure that’s why Virginia Giuffre said NOTHING about him in her book!!

Thank you!

So, are you saying because we won’t have as much leverage? Still confused

I am confused.. is it bad that we compromised? I know they haven’t yet, but it got the fired federal workers back with back pay, food aid back and military paid.. what’s in the bill now? Don’t they have some leverage still?

😭😭 WHAT A BIG UGLY BABY!! Waaa

They know, they just don’t give a shit

I read that and wondered WTF?!?!

Right now U.S. Republicans in Congress are jammed up

a) the protests are working to make the most vulnerable nervous (keep calling and protesting)

b) they DO NOT want their constituents to realize they are set to cut $880 B from Medicaid and MORE

c) they are at odds with each other

Push Hard Now

Republican Congress:

Your calculus is now this; it's very simple

Move against the administration

The first ones to do so will be labeled 'courageous' and 'patriotic', while the last ones to do so will be primaried

You are in power, now

That U.S. Congressional switchboard number is

202-224-3121

We hear he wanted tanks in the streets for his birthday parade

so like:

• a cardboard tank with lovely comments for him
• lots of lovely tank-tops worn in the streets with fun words for him
• a dirty fish tank with one big orange fish swimming in filth
• gas tank
• 'tank'-ing the economy signs

Start with conviction; bring a friend, make a plan, make a habit

Say it out loud and say it often:

"This is wrong"

Pro(tester) Tip:

If you march at a busy intersection, use the crosswalk and erupt in thunderous noise as you cross. Then, let cars go, wait for the next signal to erupt again. Repeat

Blocking traffic gives police an excuse to stop you, _and_ letting cars go gets the word out to more happy drivers!

of an “emergency.”

This isn’t just about tariffs. It’s about redefining the boundaries of executive power. Imagine if this economic crisis keeps getting worse — the amount of power he will gain.

Bottom Line

IEEPA is focused on foreign threats — but once the emergency is declared, the president taps into a hidden arsenal of domestic control powers. What began as a trade issue could quickly shift into civil liberties restrictions, mass surveillance, or even crackdowns under the legal shield

it Matters?

Even when legal domestic powers are limited, a national emergency lets the president:
- Frame the issue as a national security crisis, justifying aggressive action
- Bypass Congress and the courts by acting unilaterally
- Sway public opinion using fear, urgency, and patriotic rhetoric

expand the reach and use of National Security Letters (NSLs) — tools that let federal agencies demand financial, telecom, and internet records without a warrant. These also come with gag orders, preventing the recipient (e.g., Google or a bank) from disclosing that they’re under surveillance.
