And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

Just a reminder that Trump accepted a $400M jet from Qatar, now being upgraded for hundreds of millions more by U.S. taxpayers, to eventually be transferred to his presidential library.

In a democracy based on freedom and the rule of law, we don’t jail public officials—or anyone—because of policy disagreements. We need everyone to repudiate this nonsense because a president cannot act as a prosecutor, judge, jury and dictator.

Marjorie Taylor Greene just said the Republican Party is “getting destroyed” during this government shutdown as they refuse to protect health care.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.
