People need to be direct & stand on the WH lawn, golf course or whatever it takes to demand a meeting to end the shutdown. Americans healthcare & financial lives are priority! Bullying ends when you expose the truth. Take it to them, face to face publicly! #EndShutdown

Agreed! In today’s Supreme Court, Jimmy Kimmel would have an extremely strong First Amendment claim against Trump’s FCC for pressuring Disney and ABC to censor fully protected commentary by firing Kimmel. Either 8-1 or 9-0.

SMH - B. Carr said to CNBC the issue was: “…appearing to directly mislead the American public about a significant fact”. If that’s why Kimball is off the air, why hasn’t the ENTIRE Fox News Corporation been removed in its entirety??!!! Lying hypocrite!

Trump has stated he didn’t go to the Epstein’s Island. I have yet to hear or read if Trump has been questioned or denied going to Epstein’s homes in FL. CA. or NY. Or even Maxwell’s homes. Perhaps, this could be the reason(s) DOJ won’t release the files.

Thrilled that people are going to stand up to a bully! Gov. Newsom said, “ We need to fight fire with fire.” I think it should be, “ We need to fight fire with water and put that shxt out!!!”

Is it too far fetched that the people wearing masks apprehending people could possibly be the proud boys and other groups like that?

Pam Bondi said, “That over the past 9 years, Abrego Garcia has played a significant role in an alien smuggling ring.” If true, that would mean the 1st Trump admin. was not protecting the US. Pam,why didn’t DOJ follow the law (habeas corpus) wasted 10 million $, flights to & from & now our courts 🕰️

Is there a watchdog group that is monitoring the amount of money squandered in our courts?Trumps Exec. Orders, false arrests & detainments, DOJ, ICE & other areas causing litigation seems to be a waste of American’s dollars.

NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.

Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.

Think about it. Trump and Elon had enough money to purchase buildings to set up manufacturing in US;They didn’t. Tariffs are to break Americans. Even if manufacturing returned to US, it will be too expensive. This is a ruse to take our money & country until we expire.

Dear #MAGA

when they cut your Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, and SNAP, when they take away your overtime & unemployment benefits & cut your wages, when your food is no longer safe to eat, know that we liberals/Dems weren't fighting against you, we were fighting for you.

It is absolutely disturbing and embarrassing to see Trump and Vance badger Zelinsky. Two VILE people that should be impeached! It was not tactful nor diplomatic and their behavior is beneath the office. I want America to remain home of the brave.

It’s time to set up a go fund me account for Ukraine. If an Attorney that specializes with international finance law would please advise if it is possible to establish the account. I too am ashamed of my country.

It's actually nauseating.

But very promising as Trump and Vance are finally showing how inept, foolish, uninformed, and downright disgusting they are.

This could go down as one of the most important turning points in the 21st century.
