There is no more fundamental right in America than the right to protest your government.
The question this week for Republicans: when is it enough? Stop the false equivalencies and the rationalizations and the attempts to minimize the moment. Stand up and do the right thing.

Joe isn’t squirming, he’s getting cancer treatment. It takes otherworldly effort to be as depraved as this grocery sack of diarrhea.

Murphy has it right.
The President just announced he is giving $20 billion of taxpayer money to bail out Argentina. That’s outrageous. If he was willing to spend that money in America - to keep American health premiums from skyrocketing, the shutdown would be over tomorrow.

Murphy has it right.
This is what is happening. Vote this November accordingly
I don't understand how anyone can make the case that we still have constitutional government at this point. The president is collecting revenue *AND* spending money without Congressional authorization, refusing to spend money that Congress appropriated, disobeying whatever laws he feels like.

We protect historical buildings like barns in my town. Trump is taking a wrecking ball to the people's house. What's to stop him from tearing the whole house down?
Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

I had these same thoughts today and it turned my stomach at which way this might go.
This is potentially a massive story. Did DOJ plan for survivors? Do they have sufficient evidence to prosecute? What is US jurisdiction to prosecute? Where will they go next? When is their court date? Will they be indicted? Held at Gitmo? Returned to Venezuela? Be Epsteined?

In HS my father made me change my registration to republican, he was afraid I would end up on a list. McCarthyism was his experience. It's always been here. The unfinished revolution @theatlantic.com
That's why they want the states voter rolls.

We need to show up in numbers not possible to be paid. I went to one in the spring, it was uplifting. Every age, everybody!
Wait. We get paid?
Sean Duffy says the No Kings protests this Saturday are “really frustrating” because they are all paid Antifa people.

You are missing the point. X deleted her post. Musk is attacking our democracy.
Earlier this afternoon, Maine Governor Janet Mills posted this tweet announcing a Senate run. It has since been deleted. Here’s a screenshot of what was removed from the @ JanetMillsforME X account.

I am not antifa. I am a mother. A wife. A tax payer and a person who feels America is for everyone. I will be marching on 10/18.
The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

I agree that this is one of the plans. Well done Mr. Reich.
Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.
I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

This is good advice I think. (Not a lawyer) But I don't trust anyone pulling me over either.

It is bizarre and wrong.
Jayapal: It is a strange and bizarre time when we literally have a president thinking about plating the ballroom in gold—while he’s thrown 15 million Americans off healthcare, fired over 150,000 federal workers, and is threatening to fire even more if we go into a shutdown.

Thanks Murphy.
Good morning.
The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.
Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

Every poll question seems stupid to me. Easily misinterpreted.
This is the dumbest poll question ever.
Try polling the question, "Should the Republicans shut down the government in order to make sure families' insurance premiums go up by 75%?"

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance
However, they are weaker than they look…

We have to strategize on how to protect ourselves from the fucking PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Let that sink in!
This is our country. We own it. We pay for all of it! They work for us.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
