No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.

@vademocrats.bsky.social. If Senator Kaine passes the bill tonight, do not send me one damn email for funds! It will be a cold day in hell if I ever give 1 more dime. Tax credits? That is crap when you can’t pay for the premium in the 1st place. I am so so angry right now. The hell with all of you.

@sanders.senate.gov Please do not cave on the shutdown! We will never see the ACA money ever again. You cannot trust the GOP to restore them. A huge amount of people will have no health insurance as we cannot afford these increases.

This is the whole ball of wax. He would rather we have healthcare that is unaffordable or no healthcare if it has President Obama’s name attached to it. They have had since 2016 to come up with a replacement. His narcissism is more important than any citizen. Cruelty!
There you have it

Trump refuses to help Americans
Trump since day one
Has never has had a Healthcare plan
Only a concept
And now
Blow up the filibuster
Batter up Thune

Negotiate with Democrats
Do the right thing
Americans deserve good healthcare

THIS IS TRUMP'S SHUTDOWN

Share with people you know who don’t understand that they could lose their healthcare, Medicaid, ACA, etc etc unless they speak out and speak up NOW! #DemsSaveHealthcare4all

This is the best messaging I’ve seen from any Democrats on the shutdown. Kudos to AOC, Bernie, and their teams for putting this out there.

@nbcphiladelphia.com Please instruct your anchors how to pronounce “Shibe”. He pronounced it “Shi Bee”. Any Philly anchor should know better or they don’t deserve to be in Philly on the air. #ShibeVintageSports #Phillies

I want my country back!! I want things to be normal again when Nazis didn’t take control, ignore the constitution, a Supreme Court that actually follows the constitution. These are supposed to be my “golden years”, what a crock of shit.

The UN is not going to like this and they will most likely sanction us. NATO - I’ll be surprised if they don’t kick us out.

News: Journalists at Voice of America were just informed that they’ve been put on administrative leave. Two people there told me this went to all fulltime employees.

“From what we can tell, VOA is effectively shut down from this moment.”

Remind your MAGA acquaintances that when Medicare/Medicaid and social security are killed in the budget reconciliation going on right now, your parents will be moving in with YOU! You will have to support them.

How do we stop this coup when the GOP IS TOO SCARED TO OPPOSE THEM? It is more than being primaries- must be blackmailed and/or threatened w/ violence. How can we stop them & take back the country? Do we take to the streets?

Since 47 is purging the entire government of anyone with morals and scruples, who is going to arrest/prosecute the administration for all their crimes? So the criminals are in charge of everything. Seems like a coup to me. I want my ‘normal’ life back. @raskin.house.gov

I didn’t vote for the orange nazi & his lackeys. So how the hell do we fix what they are doing? The GOP is afraid to go against the demented clown as they don’t want to go broke, lose their job or fall out a window. Who the hell is going to step up? Anybody? @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ?

I remember Musk stating that they were going to tear everything down and build it back up the way they want it to be. So…who is going to stop them and how?? Time is of the essence.
