Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Lessons to be learned at the state level, National level, AND the LOCAL level.
This has gotten lost: Abigail Spanberger won big after vowing to RESCIND Glenn Youngkin's executive order directing local cooperation with ICE and voting AGAINST the anti-immigrant Laken Riley Act. Yet she gained bigly with working class.

How many ways could Trump try to subvert the 2026 elections? More than you can probably imagine, and many of them might work. My deep dive in @theatlantic.com, posted today: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

This is a distraction. He says he doesn’t want the media covering it so the media covers it to insight outrage. It’s not the White House, it’s the east wing only. It looks significantly worse than a typical demo and that’s by design to insight outrage. He has the legal authority to do this. #EPSTEIN

@govpritzker.illinois.gov, @schakowsky.house.gov @duckworth.senate.gov Demand public hearings on ICE armament. ICE spending on “small arms” has been rising astronomically this year compared with significantly lower annual amounts in prior years. They are stockpiling this to use against us citizens.
ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.
The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Everyone can contact their Gov's urging them to arrest any ICE agent that's breaking the law. Marc Dann made a good point that lawfare can go both ways below. Even if prosecutors lose, it can deter these ICE Nazi's if they think they may have to deal with legal probs down the road. Call your Govs.

Good launch video overall, and the focus on the Gaza genocide is notable. I think many Dems don't understand how much of a primary issue this will be in '26 and '28.
I come from generations of freedom fighters who taught us to fight oppressive forces. Whether it’s fighting for a livable wage, to make housing affordable for all, or stopping the genocide – I’m answering the call of my forbearers. I'm Chris Rabb, and I’m running for Congress.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.
