WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

Pretty cool that the unflinchingly corrupt leader of our country is so dumb, so corrupt, and so malleable that he doesn’t have the first clue who he’s letting out of jail or why.

COLLINS: Today you pardoned the founded of Binance. Can you explain why you did that?

TRUMP: Which one was that?

COLLINS: The founder of Binance

TRUMP: I believe we're talking about the same person, because I do pardon a lot of people. I don't know. He was recommended by a lot of people.

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

RAJU: You said yesterday you were still trying to get the details of this $230m Trump wants from the DOJ. Now that you've had some time, are you ok with taxpayers potentially being on the hook for that kind of money?

As Trump marches toward militarizing San Francisco:

- Memorize contact info in case of arrest
- Plan ahead if you have children or medication
- Speak out PEACEFULLY and at a distance

Stay smart, safe, and don’t give them the excuse they're wanting to escalate their crackdown.

Why in hell would news outlets trust claims made by the Trump regime unless there’s supporting evidence? If the media want to make a leap of faith, they should assume the regime is lying, because it usually is.

Republicans still think Democrats will fold and give Trump exactly what he wants. But after Saturday’s historic protests, the pressure on GOP lawmakers is becoming too big to ignore. Tell your GOP representative to get back to work and end the Trump Shutdown: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

I know some might be tired of me repeating this, but it bears mentioning again and again....

Trump is not leaving office.

They are going to go for martial law if it looks likely that the GOP will lose the House.

You just have to listen to them.

“While most of the spending was on guns and armor, Legum reported that ICE had also purchased ‘guided missile warheads and explosive components.’ … It’s not immediately clear what part of a good-faith deportation operation would involve localized destruction and murder.”

They’re building an army.

I know that there are people outside Chicago who are paying attention and seeing these videos but there are no words for how it feels when the videos show everyday places in your neighborhood, places that are part of your routine. The sense of violation is profound.
