Just checking: the republicans that attacked and sent marshals to arrest Texas dems for not showing up to work (in an effort to protect voting rights, btw) are the same republicans that are not showing up to work, yeah?

Something else that needs to be made law when the Dems get the next chance is that during a shutdown Presidential travel is also shutdown, unless it's required to protect the President from imminent physical harm. Trump is having a good time hanging out with Al-Qaeda and taking crypto payments.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

More funding went to ICE than the US Marine Corps. Oh- and ICE is getting paid right now but the MARINES are NOT. You know- ICE where they can’t pass fitness tests or open book tests.

I love how we just have to trust this guy that the art and historical artifacts that belong to us from the East Wing are safe & will remain in public possession.

You know, the guy who last time took a bunch of shit that didn’t belong to him, refused to give it back, & lied about it in writing.

Trump wants to use the Navy to build $10B worth of migrant detention camps.

Let me get this straight: we "can't afford" to invest in public programs that make housing or healthcare more affordable — but we have endless funds to detain migrants and enrich defense contractors?

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

Dear CBS News personalities: The Canadians' ad did not portray Reagan's tariff policy fraudulently, and you do not have to repeat the president's false characterization of it.

Or if your new boss insists that you do, you can at least point out that it's false.

www.cbsnews.com/news/scott-b...

MARGARET BRENNAN: Understood. We'll talk to Hakeem Jeffries later in the program. I want to ask you about what the President just announced in regard to Canada. Today, the President said he wants to raise tariffs on Mexico. Yesterday, he said he's going to raise tariffs on Canada by 10%. He blames what he called a fraudulent ad that featured Ronald Reagan advocate- advocating for free trade. It was put up by the province of Ontario. Is this ad really the issue here, or is it just a tactic in this negotiation? Does the President want the USMCA free trade deal renegotiated, or is he looking to do two separate deals, one with Canada, one with Mexico?

The Trump Administration is choosing to let families go hungry even as grocery prices rise and millions struggle to afford food. The emergency funds exist to keep SNAP benefits going, but they’re refusing to act. It’s shameful and completely unacceptable.
