I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Donald Trump is bringing pain to his own people and trying to make a fool of the Dems. We’re gonna need more than a strongly worded letter to win this fight.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

He thinks if he speaks eloquently that the insanely pathetic words he says will still sound professional.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

Soybean Farmer: So now I've got a tariff war that's killing my market. I don't have any money from grain we're sending to other countries for USAID. I mean, I've got a compound problem. I don't know how you plan for next year because we don't know where we're at.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

When Stephen Miller says fascist felon Donald Trump has "plenary power,"

Miller means HE has plenary power.

Miller is directing much of the domestic terrorism in U.S. currently because Trump has advanced dementia.
