NEW from @votersoftomorrow.org:
“Either through complicity or incompetence, Chuck Schumer once again proved he cannot provide the type of leadership that young Americans demand. It is clear he must step down as caucus leader.”
NEWS: Vance faces worldwide ridicule and condemnation, Trump faces condemnation for hosting gala as millions lose food assistance, air traffic controllers threaten to walk off the job, and much more.
A busy news night. Spread the word. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...
14 strikes. 61 dead. “But the administration does not know their identities.” 🤷🏼 🛶 💣

USA TODAY: President Trump heads to Asia as government shutdown enters Day 25
Trump once said that it's the president's job to get people in a room to end a shutdown.
Hard to do that when you're not even here.
Meiselas: We’re 24 days into the government shutdown, and Trump left the country — the first president in U.S. history to leave the country during a shutdown.
This, while food lines are being seen throughout the United States. This is Trump’s America. Food lines like we saw in COVID are back.
Adelita Grijalva: "There is so much that cannot be done until I'm sworn in. So every moment that passes that I'm not able to provide constituent services or be a voice for Arizona, I cannot bring the issues forward that they send me here to do."
BREAKING: An artillery shell prematurely detonated over Interstate 5 in California damaging JD Vance's security detail.

Live your life in such a way that 7 million people don’t show up just to tell you that you are an asshole.
#NoKings
A friend in Corvallis, Oregon sent me this one 🤣 #NoKings
NYPD announces that zero arrests were made at the massive No Kings protests today after Republicans spent days claiming the protestors are violent terrorists.
In a No Kings march, a smiling woman in a unicorn onesie holds up a fistful of flags and a sign reading "SO MANY CRIMES SO LITTLE CARDBOARD"
unicorn onesie and a fistful of flags and we're good to go
When you’re making your #NoKings posters, remember… Donald Trump LOVES a good nickname.
Nasty business
Price increases for "things" under Donald Trump:
Coffee is up 26%
Baby strollers are up 25%
Beef is up 14%
School supplies are up 7%
Electricity is up 5%
Car prices are at a RECORD high.
And thanks to Republicans in Congress, health insurance premiums are about to DOUBLE.
Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

This is exactly why we must vote YES ON PROP 50!
This isn’t freedom.
The Voting Rights Act has ensured Black and Latino voters have a voice in Congress, state legislatures, and school boards for 60 years. If the Supreme Court guts Section 2, the majority would tip the scales against voters of color nationwide.
Breaking: Capitol Police have been called after a Republican congressional office was just caught displaying a swastika.
This comes one day after group chat messages were leaked of young GOP officials saying “I love Hitler” and calling to put Democrats in “gas chambers.”
They're not even trying to hide it. Gone are the days in which these views were couched in doublespeak. The racism is on shameless, full display in the most powerful rooms in the federal government.

Please notify President Trump and Vice-President Vance immediately. Isn’t this a mandatory one-year jail sentence—or is this a kind of flag desecration they have no problem with?
"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

ICYMI — with electricity rates already skyrocketing, Trump just canceled the largest solar project in North America.
Utah’s Republican governor seems to understand this is probably not the best idea: “This is how we lose the AI/energy race with China” 👇🏽
Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.
OBAMA: “Better’s good… we’re not gonna get to perfect. Do I think single-payer with no profit motive would’ve been smarter? Absolutely.”
President Obama tells Maron the ACA was a compromise because he didn’t have the votes for what he really wanted. #MedicareForAll
Graphic showing the average ACA premium increase in each state. It's an average of 136% increase this year alone.
Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans ripped health care away from 15 million people and are raising costs for millions more.
The numbers are damning.
Demented, dejected trump does NOT win the Nobel Peace Prize (YAY!), but he's using the DOJ and National Guard to lash out at fellow Americans, and branded Antifa a terrorist group. MAGA triggered by a Bunny, Frog, and a chicken. 🙄

These firings are illegal—
And yet another example of Trump finding new ways to inflict harm on the American people and the programs they rely on.
He's playing with Americans' livelihoods to try and help Republicans pass a budget that would kick you off your health care.
