The government shutdown stops USDA from administering farm subsidies, raising the specter of growing farm foreclosures. It also delays a bailout President Trump had promised for farmers impacted by tariffs.

Pay attention. Even if you dislike Bernie. Everyone I know is affected by their #Healthcare premiums increasing beyond affordability. First they starve you. Then they take away access to Healthcare. This is how you break an enemy. Cutting off food, medicine. Americans are the enemy of #Trumpwreck.

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 2d

In the middle of all Trump’s distractions, pay attention to the fundamental issue:

While the richest people are getting richer, tens of millions of people are struggling to pay for rent & groceries.

Now 15 million Americans are going to be thrown off health care. Unacceptable.

#NoKings protests across the Nation.

Even in all these numbers, we have not overcome the #MAGA divide and hatred in politics and in policy.

#Trumpwreck broke America. I see you, Washington D.C. and Chicago. I see you all.

The statue of Trump and Epstein holding hands mid-frolic wasn't the first anti-Trump artwork on the National Mall in recent months. But it was the first to be removed, despite having a permit.

Here are a few pictures of a Tariff notice I got from UPS on items for my small business. Ask yourself... Is the math mathing? Before you ask, it was itemized with the contents of the package, so it looks legit. The notice arrived 2 days *after* the due date. #UPS #Tariffs #Trumpwreck #JPMorgan

Screenshot summary of charges totaling $58.76 indicating "brokerage fees" by UPS with a warning of 9.9% increase as a late fee... and the notice arrived 2 days AFTER due date.

Screenshot summary of charges indicating fees of disbursement and COD/Online fee totalling $26 on top of the $32.76 tariff.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

From me for @rollingstone.com:

ICE Is Deporting People to Africa on Nearly Un-Trackable Military Flights

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is deporting people to African countries like Ghana on military flights that are nearly un-trackable.
