National Guard troops are positioned outside Chicago and could be in Memphis, as President Donald Trump’s administration pushes ahead with an aggressive policy toward big-city crime.

Trump has called Chicago a “hellhole” of crime, although police statistics show significant drops in most crimes.

National Guard troops are outside Chicago and could be in Memphis soon in Trump’s latest deployment

I feel bad for the troops that are "just following orders" instead of their oath to the constitution!!!

Whitehouse: "It obviously makes a big difference when you have a professional DOJ and there's no alleged involvement of the president in a sex trafficking operation. This is different. This is a MAGA DOJ conducting an investigation into a trafficking operation in which POTUS may well be implicated"

CNN: The judge presiding over the prosecution of Jim Comey has agreed to Comey’s request to schedule a near term trial. Comey asked for a Jan 12 trial date. The judge went with Jan 5. Comey is counting on the gov’t not being ready for trial. A good bet.

Now they want to not pay workers backpay that they are entitled to. Even the ones who are working currently without getting paid. This tracks, donald always is stiffing workers by not paying them. Orange loser.

Actually, as a resident of DC, then bammas weren't in my part of town. They were only in areas close to and in downtown. So, idk who tf this Riley Moore is and who he spoke to but I'm pretty sure he didn't speak to no TRUE resident or native Washingtonian for that matter.

A new draft Trump memo argues that furloughed federal workers aren't guaranteed compensation for their forced time off during the government shutdown.

Those who represent federal workers or advocate on their behalf say the White House is misreading the clear intent of the law.

Scoop: White House memo says furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to backpay

A move to deny backpay to up to 750,000 furloughed workers would dramatically escalate Trump's pressure on Democrats to end the shutdown.

Indeed. And then it trickles to small businesses too, people who are losing paying customers, and on and on. It's no way to run a country. Under Republicans, America is a failed state.

I guess the plan was to kick people off their plans entirely, by making it so expensive that they can’t afford it‼️ It’s almost like he’s been a conman his entire life‼️

It's infuriating, and every shutdown has been caused by Republicans since Newt Gingrich did it in the 90s. The press really has a responsibility to report the truth. This stuff affects people's lives.
