Schumer and Jeffries showed some courage in standing up to the MAGA GOP.

IMO, they are still asking for too little.

With masked paramilitaries conducting daily kidnappings and with POTUS having repeatedly threatened military strikes against so-called "internal enemies," I no longer recognize the U.S. as a democratic Republic.

I cannot in good conscience contribute materially to this rogue state.

I can no longer in good conscience fund this government.

When the president repeatedly makes public statements in which he proclaims you to be an internal enemy of the state, when he says he is committed to waging “the internal war” against anti-fascists and those who engage in critical/free inquiry, then he is telling you that his govt no longer represents you.

When you are denied representation by a so-called “unitary executive,” well then…bob’s your uncle.
