The governors of Oregon, California (and hopefully Illinois) should now announce that any federalized National Guard troops illegally setting foot in their states will be subject to arrest. Troops from their own states obeying such an illegal order would also be subject to reduction in rank and/or dismissal from military service—a punishment that will follow them throughout their civilian careers. This will create a showdown with Trump that will bring this issue to a head.
I like this idea a lot better than thinking that the residents of these states are going to fight back with weapons--then we would really "be at war". But that "war" is exactly what trump wants to see (but only because he thinks he is safe. You know he runs from danger like a rabbit from a hound!)
Ditto what Joanne replied & u can bet the CiC never put up his dukes- F, he even has to fire by tweet ! The Gov's can defend against the lawlessness better than most
There should be an Alliance Of Governors - all righteous welcome
Agreed if no serious Push Back the onslaught will worsen & expect the billionaires/corporations to continue selling this country down the river. Too bad Americans are too soft to boycott en masse
I worry that all communications being subject to surveillance makes it harder than ever for some needed players to organize. So Govs gotta do some heavy lifting.
Premiums have already gone up in anticipation of what is getting cut. I am a New Jersey Business owner and my yearly health plan for my employees is renewed every November. Last week I received notice that our premuim for this policy is going up 24% !!!! Yes 24% and that is PRIVATE insurance through Horizon Blue Cross Blue Sheild. So this WILL effect EVERYONE in the country.
Democrats should push more about ICE, release Epstein, stop spending on crap, ie. BIG BORDELLO BALLROOM. Make Republicans own it. Blame them. Newsom playbook.
INDEED. There is no bottom where Republicans are concerned!
Democrats should be honest and proactive, utilizing social media consistently. They should also engage thousands of college and high school bloggers to spread the Democrat messaging effectively.
David may be young so to speak, and yet his wisdom is far eternal because of who he is and because of his experiences.
David is more mature than the president and that’s a fact. I’m not going to capitalize that P and I’m not going to say the name because he’s not my president. Ever.
Thank you David for everything you do and thank you Jim always ..
Republicans refusing to meet with Democrats in front of cameras should be a big tell to everyone since Johnson is in front of the cameras every chance he gets to spread his lies. Democrats need to keep getting in front of the cameras and telling everyone that they are willing to meet with the Republicans in front of the cameras so there will be full transparency. Also, point out that Johnson won't swear in the newest member and tell why. They need to do this daily and keep extending the invitation. If they don't then the Republicans lies will take hold, since they are doing their lies daily. If they do this, I think more people will hear it and start questioning why the Republicans won't meet in front of the cameras.
Dear Jim, thanks a million for all your great work. AND we are to late for all the blah blah blah blah blahs.
We need 30 million actual tax-paying citizens in the streets for thought-provocative, over and over and over again nonviolent resistance starting when it cools down in November 2025. Everyone must take a chill pill, no need for torturing ourselves with stifling weather, heat strokes and misery. But the being-there for the long haul with overwhelming stick-to-itiveness is vital. While waiting for the gorgeous fall weather to roll around: we go online and organize as tiny, drone-like groups. No big-assed movements. We are everywhere like hymenopterans, like sparrows nesting just above the gutters in the eaves and just out of sight in the hedgerows. We seriously enjoy the long haul by working smart not hard. We allow the USA to be Great Again for the actual, tax-paying, working class stiffs we are!

During the Salt Satyagraha, Gandhi began with a core group of 78 volunteers for the (salt) march to Dandi, but the movement grew significantly as it progressed, with tens of thousands joining the protests. The march itself was a symbolic act of defiance against the British salt tax, and it sparked a larger campaign of nonviolent resistance across India. HE STARTED WITH 78 PEOPLE and threw the biggest fighting force on earth out for liberation.
He ended up kicking the Brits out of India just like the people of the 13 colonies kicked the Brits out of the USA. By then, Ghandi had millions of followers, with no weapons but stick-to-itiveness.
Miller & Vought are walking all over Donald Trump, the wannabe dictator & taking advantage of his mental decline. F*cking unbelievable! Congressional Republicans, shame on you for kowtowing to this regime. We will remember you!! Dems damn it, get your heads in the game - go on the offense. Stay strong & together people, we'll see them all behind bars one day.
I think we may need to get rid of the Democratic leadership and replace them with more energetic people. Like Zohran Mamdani, David Hogg, James Talarico

👍 idea
They should demand the release of Epstein files among their conditions. Keep it in the news.
Make ICE accountable, too; remove their masks and make them act right.

Thanks for inviting David Hogg xxx best rabble-rouser! The DNC just didn't understand what they needed to be relevant.
ICE are the terrorists.

The White House and ICE are the enemy from within
Noem… is fucking sick in the head.
Normal people don't shoot puppies
Exactly.
Democrats make fun of the tRump doubleheaded coin. Remember, doubleheaded coins were aways used to cheat someone when flipping a coin.
Exactly
Sorry all, I have a virtual town hall - my Senators are doing their job!
Diversity is our strength. Coming from Detroit, I firmly believe this!
