The way to defeat trump is thru national acts of civil disobedience.

When a government has become lawless and corrupt it is the duty of the people to disobey and disrupt the government thru peaceful acts of disobedience.

Disobedience is power. No government can govern a people who will not obey.

Won by 8, thats a 14 point swing to the democrats. With millions pumped into a race that should have been a cake walk.

The GOP wont have the money to defend all of these. If this continues it could be a tidal wave election in 2026. Please let that happen!
Values bringing the facts as always.

These numbers ought to scare the heck out of GOP members - and what’s much better than that ought to give all of us who oppose Trump much hope!
Republicans are going to win #TN07 by about 9 points. Which is 12 points less than the margin by which they won the district the last two House elections.

Like I mentioned, there are 117 Republicans who represent districts they'd lose if their races swung 12 points left.

Here's where they are:

The Trump Education Department’s new plan to limit reimbursements for degrees deemed “non-professional” effectively puts careers like nursing, teaching and social work — not to mention critical vocational fields — out of reach for many students. 

This change is reckless and shortsighted.
Whether a degree is considered "professional" will influence how much reimbursement a student receives for their higher education.

If the democrats win they should completely defund ICE. Not a single penny. And stipulate no other federal agents can use funds to perform ICE functions and no military funds can be used for ICE functions without congressional approval. Even in the event of an emergency.
In the very early days of Nazi rule local law enforcement would sometimes intervene if a local was being threatened by Nazis acting unlawfully. There was still an idea that the law mattered. That didn’t last long.

Not saying things will get that bad here but we seem to be in a similar stage.
First of all, this judge is a hero.

Secondly, my god this is egregious conduct. Imagine being this judge, driving this poor kid home, only to have ICE threaten to smash your car windows on your way out of the lot??

This is appalling behavior from anyone but to see the President point his finger and tell a female reporter asking about the Epstein files “Quiet! Quiet, piggy!” Is alarming. We cannot normalize this.

Trump was partially right the other day when he said there aren't enough American engineers, doctors and such. Too many kids cant afford college. Its not like the 90s and earlier where a poor kid could work his way thru school.

Int'l students make college cheaper for US kids. It will get worse.
The rest of the world doesn’t want to come here. The rest of the world is afraid to come here. Trump’s America is the exact opposite of that “shining city on a hill.”👇

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.

It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Rep. Massie is spelling out what we already knew: Trump demanded a DOJ investigation so he could hide behind it. Call the Epstein scandal a “hoax,” then launch a probe that conveniently keeps the files sealed. It’s definitely a smokescreen. He’s terrified of what those documents reveal.

Seems like a pretty straightforward and irrefutable point 👉

"By 2030, he's not gonna be the president and you will have voted to protect pedophiles if you don't vote to release those files."
Massie: "I would remind my Republican colleagues who are decided how to vote, Donald Trump can protect you in red districts right now by giving you an endorsement, but by 2030, he's not gonna be the president and you will have voted to protect pedophiles if you don't vote to release those files."

@atticus59914029.bsky.social the constitution does not have a provision for congress to delegate its responsibilities or powers. Its expressly clear what responsibilities and powers it has. Its also clear about the president. Could it be argued its unconstitutional to delegate powers?
