Now is the time democrats. Buckle up. We have to pass amnesty for 17,000,000 immigrants. We owe them this. It will never happen again!!! Screw the deficit or budgets. Screw the US middle class. Focus on helping immigrants !!!!! The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission.” —Ted Kennedy, 1965 Immigration Bill (Hart-Celler) “This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this.” — Ted Kennedy on the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli Bill |

Trump's strategy in a nutshell. But go on, flood the zone with more nonsense... |

This is rich coming from the tax-and-spend political party. There won't be any amnesty for illegal aliens. Even of Democrats regain control of Congress and the White House (good luck with that), Republicans will borrow the "lawfare" page from the Democrat playbook and have it blocked. Even pushing for amnesty at this point is a losing political strategy. |

Record spending taking place under the Republicans. They're responsible for the majority of the deficit. But please continue with the misinformation. |

MAGA Morons are hilarious. Dems wanted to pass a bipartisan bill that would have been far more effective at whatever “this” (waves hands around chaotically) is. Republicans have walked away from The table every time yelling the need to secure the border before fixing our broken immigration system. It’s secure morons, time to fix our broken immigration system. |

Grandpa called and wants his stereotype back. Aside from Bush I, Republicans have exploded the deficit in every Republican admin of my adult life and Democrats always bring it down. Every single time. |

This is rich coming from the party that just created a national sales tax. The average tariff was 2.5% when Trump took office now it’s 18.5% Most Americans taxpayers are going to pay far more in tariffs than they will get from the OBBB. |

Donald Trump Suffers Major Court Loss in E. Jean Carroll Judgment. “A federal appeals court has upheld a jury's decision ordering President Donald Trump to pay $83.3 million to writer E.

In a ruling issued Monday, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Trump's attempt to overturn the verdict, stating that the jury's award was "fair and reasonable." https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-e-jean-carroll-court-case-defamation-2126406 Work across at least 22 Korean projects in the US halted after raid. “The $4.3 billion joint venture battery facility, among the largest projects in Georgia and is expected to create 8,500 jobs, was scheduled for completion later this year to supply battery cells to Hyundai’s nearby EV factory, Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America LLC (HMGMA). Construction work on the site was suspended following the raid. The incident has thrown Korea’s flagship investment projects in the US into disarray. Sources said at least 22 other factory sites involving Korean business groups, in autos, shipbuilding, steel and electrical equipment, have been nearly halted.” https://www.kedglobal.com/business-politics/newsView/ked202509080002 WSJ Editorial Board Opines on the Georgia Raid. “The sweeping ICE operation in Georgia Thursday that rounded up some 475 illegal workers at a showcase development project is intended as a warning to employers nationwide. It also illustrates the America First contradiction of demanding foreign investment in the U.S. while shrinking the available workforce.” AND “But If President Trump wants a smaller U.S. population, he is going to get a weaker labor market and economy for Americans.

This is true. You can’t argue with facts. Well idiots can. Trump’s massive tax cuts for the 1% and the out of control spending on buffoonery ideas only to have them halted by the courts as illegal will have the country in big financial trouble at the end of Trump’s four years. We will need a democratic president to fix it. |

To the OP posting headlines to show pushback, none of that matters. Trump is destroying the government and consolidating power so quickly it will be impossible to stop this democratic backsliding. We are at phase 5 out of 6. People need the wake up and DO SOMETHING.
What you ask? Learn about non-cooperation tactics because protesting is not enough. Attend a Free DC orientation either in person or online. You do not need to be a DC resident. It’s just a good explainer of what is the authoritarian playbook, what phase we are in in the backsliding, hint phase 5 out of six! And what actions we can take. There’s a lot of touchy-feely/progressive/pronouns language, ignore that if you don’t like that. But the meat of it is very, very good. https://freedcproject.org/event-list |
