He threw the sandwich the ICE 1 didn't think was important enough to pick off the ground and keep for evidence - 2 says came apart but the video showed it was still wrapped and whole on the ground. Some weapon.

After lying from his Dallas residence that he lived in Wyoming since president & VP cannot be from same state, lying himself and forcing others to lie that Iraq had WMD, and ordering federal employees & military to torture people.

Trump's goons are terrorizing people without consequences to themselves. We have to stop them.

CHICAGO: “My uncle was on his way home from getting groceries on his bike — they grabbed him and choked him and punched him… he’s a kind hardworking man. They’re racially profiling people.”

Trump’s ICE goons put an elderly man in the hospital and nearly choked him to death.

Of course I do think there is no moral or ethical basis for denying care to the poor. But John Ratcliffe, CIA Director, said as my US Rep, it's like retail: if you can't pay you can't have it. And another US Rep said if you take care of yourself you won't have medical problems

In my rural area, every bomb threat the police have been able to identify the caller who made the threat and arrest them. Surely the urban police, state police and federal agents can arrest these terrorists.

Like Barbara Walters did. When he lied about his bankruptcy negotiations she said, "No. I talked to the bankers."

Speaker Johnson: Federal employees aren’t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar.

End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

If Republicans had any ethics, integrity, mortality at all they would have insisted their Democratic counterparts be included.

Left finally got Civil Rights and Medicare in 60s. Republicans have attacked those ever since. Anything the left got to protect people has been continually under attack by right wing and the rich. Now we have rule by the rich and corruption in government. The right never gives up.

No there has never been an extreme left wing movement in USA. The New Deal gave us social security which other democracies had already created, banking regulations and labor protections including unions. Those protections eroded & wages stagnated & banks stole homes in 2008. 1/

Homeland Security thugs are terrorizing my hometown, Evanston, IL, today. I can’t help thinking our neighbors are being targeted because 91% of us voted for Kamala Harris.

It tracks that the same regime using the government shutdown to cover up the sexual abuse of children, is just fine with starving them too.

A 16-year-old minor from Houston, Texas, who is a U.S. Citizen was beaten, tackled, and choked by ICE as he was heading for school. They used racial slurs against him and his father. The officers did not identify themselves or show any badge.

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?

Who are those donors giving the money to? Trump? That's illegal - a bribe out and out. A corporation? What is legal basis for corp paying for demolition & construction? A nonprofit? Who created it and for what? Media - get the specific answers from donors.
