Why don’t Tennessee Republicans ask Trump to stop the trade war that is crushing our farmers, instead of helping him pretend it’s helping them? @rustygrills @MarshaBlackburn @GovBillLee @AndyOgles @RepChrisTodd @RepFaison @WilliamLamberth

Trump’s invasion (with @GovBillLee’s help) is scaring locals away and hurting businesses.

We are witnessing the most lawless behavior by a leader in American history, just daily, extraordinary abuses of power. National Democrats must speak out in a loud and clear voice against Trump's escalating authoritarianism. It is time now.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

⚡️ UNCONSTITUTIONAL: Rep. Justin J. Pearson & Rep. Gabby Salinas send letter putting Gov. Bill Lee on notice that his deployment of the National Guard to Memphis violates the TN Constitution.

Lawmakers ask Governor for community investments to eradicate poverty instead of military occupation.

Somehow we almost missed Ingraham forcing Stephen Miller to watch @aoc.bsky.social humiliate him— then proving her point with 60 seconds of awkward banter (and insisting he’s a towering 5’ 10” 🫠)
