The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

Sen. Van Hollen: 20 million Americans will see their healthcare costs skyrocket, in some cases, it will double or triple. And the estimate is that 4 million Americans of our fellow Americans, will not be able to pay those costs and will drop out entirely.

Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson: We are holding this call tonight because we are in a critical moment in the healthcare fight for working people across this country. Republicans are gutting the Affordable Care Act, and are causing premiums to double and even triple for millions of our neighbors.

This is the chart that is really striking to me.

Independents blame Trump and Republicans for the shutdown by a 2-to-1 margin.

Other outlets are now reporting. First to report tonight was Anna Giaritelli at the Washington Examiner, whose story if anything missed how big the purge was. It's not just five cities; ICE Field Office Directors are being fired in at least a dozen cities, and will be replaced by CBP people instead.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.
If you are ok with the boot on somebody’s neck, don’t act surprised when it inevitably ends on your’s.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.
Shouldn’t have done this Jam. Think of the beetles.

Unfortunately, #Melissa has high potential to have devastating effects in Jamaica (even greater than Gilbert in 1988) despite the island's extensive hurricane experience. This one's looking like a worst-case scenario in terms of strength, duration, and "angle of approach."

Jamaica, in particular, will likely suffer catastrophic impacts from now rapidly-intensifying (but slow-moving) Hurricane #Melissa. A *Category 5* landfall now appears to be the most likely outcome, & 30-40+ inches of *additional* rain in mountains will lead to extreme flooding.
