@peters.senate.gov: what happened? Why are you allowing Republicans to get away with taking away ACA tax credits? You know their promises mean nothing! Lucy & the football…
It's a very simple compromise: Protect existing health care credits, end the shutdown.
 
We must take action on rising costs for families who are shopping for their health care right now, and we can end this shutdown.

The only thing Senate Democrats should be agreeing to is an extension of the enhanced premium tax credits under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for millions of Americans buying plans on the health exchanges and releasing the Trump-Epstein files.

Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson: 7 million people. Our neighbors, our friends, our community, did that. Over 300 some odd partner organizations from all over the country, from massive base building organizations to teeny tiny community defense groups. Y'all, we did that.

I've lived in D.C. for the better part of two decades. Nearly my whole adult life. Something folks aren't talking about--a giant elephant in the room--is the amount of "brand protection" going on right now.

I don't mean fear of Trump or political persecution, although those can overlap.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

I was so heartened by the turnout at the No Kings protest in Howell, Michigan. I Someone estimated maybe 400 people lining the road ... may have been more. Believe me when I say, this is amazing in ruby-red Howell, which used to be known for the Michigan KKK Grand Dragon living in its outskirts. 😲

Howell, Michigan turned out again to say No Way to tyranny!
MAY DAY! Our protests in red Livingston County are growing – this time twice as many people at the Livingston County courthouse in Howell, Michigan!

Woohoo! Our pro-democracy volunteer numbers are increasing in Red Livingston County. Our first protest was about 100 people.
Y’all, 150 people showed up in red Howell, MI. The former home of a kkk leader. This is truly what democracy looks like!

We need NOAA! Livingston County turns out in Howell, MI, to let people know our country is in danger.
Brought out my well-used pro-NOAA sign today at a protest, this one in redneck Howell (HQ of the Michigan KKK). Surprising number of honks/thumbs ups for a very conservative town!

Yes! The American people demand that Congress grow a spine and take back its power of the purse and its authority over tariffs. Every. single. day. this administration is doing things to cripple people's ability to live their lives peacefully, safely, and without worry about our finances.
They are are eating the checks; they are eating the balances.

The economy is a wreck, but they are pretending we are in a palace.

At the stroke of midnight the tarriffs will invoke more madness & the only question will be who will keep their lips tight & who will fight

For the people that is!

Yes! To our global allies: the American people love you! It’s only the Putin-aligned oligarchs and their supporters who don’t.
The people of Chicago took back our streets today.

Can't wait until the next one.

To all of you out there on the front lines today, thank you for your work and time. Can't wait to see you all out there again ✊💙🗽🇺🇸

To our global allies- we aren't done fighting just yet. 💙🗽

Mike Johnson opposes it because he is a Christian nationalist who subscribes to the same beliefs as Doug Wilson. He, based on his other words and actions, believes that women are property of men and should never lead. In his world, women should have no part in society, especially not in Congress.

Read Chapter 9: Be kind to our language in Dr. Snyder's On Tyranny.
"The language that is being used has a specific resonance, which, historically, has been used to change regime type. It is important that the rights of human beings were violated. It is important that the rule of law was ignored. It is important that the executive is trying to define reality."
Language used by individuals associated with the federal government who deported people without trial or due process to a concentration camp in El Salvador, defying a court order, has a specific resonance that, historically, has been used to change regime type.

I heard Dr. Shore’s discussion on Radicalized Podcast. She presents a sobering assessment of where the U.S. is today. The same evil forces are trying to capture Europe.
To my European friends: my country--the United States of America--is going under. Please don't let us take Europe down with us. Mobilize.

From Jim Acosta, who is leaving CNN:

“It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant.”

“Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear.”

I’ve spent years now bucking the lies. I have no time for fear.
