Republicans can reopen the government and make people’s health care more affordable at the same time.

What kind of country do we live in if Trump’s goons can break and enter, destroy your home, and detain you for hours for no reason?

Would be great to see today statements denouncing the invasion of Portland by:
- All Dem govs

- Senate and House Dems
We have to denounce, attack, challenge immediately and defend the American people from this dangerous man.

Dems need to denounce and fight this Portland insanity very, very hard. Our unacceptable hesitancy when Trump invaded DC encouraged further escalation. We should be demanding Congress return to deal with this "emergency" - briefings, hearings, debate. We have to fight.

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Troops to Portland? Illegal and absurd. But the absurdity is the point. Trump policy is to ignore real threats to US security coming from abroad and use the armed forces to pursue imaginary threats from within, thereby creating an atmosphere suitable for personal rule. (1/2)

That means you could see a 50% price hike on energy prices, fruit, roses, coffee, and more. I broke this Brazilian BS down.

On the one hand, it facilitates those outlets growth, which is important.
On the other, it’s clear their investors are looking to maximize money and an eventual exit.
