🧵Trump held a Roaring 20s themed Halloween party as Americans' health care premiums spike, 42M Americans go without food assistance (39% are kids), and 65K kids and their families could lose head start. Mr Art of the Deal has refused to meet with Democrats or really get involved with the shutdown.

Trump at his Roaring 20s themed Mar a Lago party last night, again away from DC as this brutal shutdown carries on.

Said it nine months ago
And will never
Stop saying it

It’s a class war
It’s always been
A class war
But till the privileged class
(People formerly known
As the middle class)
Start to actually feel it too
We’ll stagnate

You ready to stop
Standing still yet?

This is the Dems problem- sniping at each other instead of unifying. Black, Brown, white, Asian, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, atheist- who cares. Dumb decisions in the past - who cares. This is too important. Unite and destroy the oligarchy before it destroys us. This is life and death for our country

ICE has been targeting young kids for months, separating families and instilling fear.

Tell Congress to pass legislation ensuring no child is arrested without a warrant and coerced to give up their rights by immigration agents.

ICE: Stop Terrorizing Children

ICE is traumatizing children as young as 14 – trying to strip them of their rights while they're without attorneys or family to help them. Take action against these horrific abuses now.

NEW: Judge Walker partially grants Letitia James's motion related to Lindsey Halligan's Signal exchange.

The judge will require DOJ to preserve any communications—including communications with the media—about the case.

But he won't require the government to maintain a log of its media contacts.

The defendant presents evidence that government counsel communicated with
a member of the media about this case using an encrypted messaging app that
enables automatic deletion of messages. See generally ECF No. 21-1. The Court is not
asked to decide now whether any communications between the government and
media are or will become discoverable. But in the event that such communications
take place and are discoverable (or are subject to a judicial determination about
discoverability), it is important that the government preserve the evidence of those communications. Cf. Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 87 (1963) ("suppression by the
prosecution of evidence favorable to an accused upon request violates due process
where the evidence is material either to guilt or to punishment, irrespective of the
good faith or bad faith of the prosecution"). Accordingly, the Court ORDERS a litigation hold preventing the deletion or destruction of any records or
communications having to do with the investigation or prosecution of this case. This
hold shall be in effect until further order of the Court.
However, the Court is not persuaded that preservation

Sen. Luján: There has never been a moment in America's history that food programs have lapsed. When Republicans say there's not enough money, Trump is shaking down the Department of Justice for $230 million for him. He bought Kristi Noem two jets for $180 million, sent $40 billion to Argentina

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

She worked for Reagan- she made this mess, is an immoral and evil person. Someone who, at the least, turned a blind eye to racism, homophobia, the death of the environment in the name of tax cuts for the rich and special treatment for oil companies. She’s a corporate whore at best.

The @NYTimes opinion page is filled with irrelavant idiots like Noonan ad Brooks- people who killed the middle class, turned a blind eye to racism and homophobia, watched as the environment burned - al in the name of tax cuts for the rich, who the paper now allows to pose as wise or moral.
