Maybe we should amend the First Amendment: “The President shall not bully companies into censoring free speech.”
Congress? Still napping. 😡

Allegations of Pay to Play is a hallmark of this Trump Administration and Border Czar, Tom Homan, is no stranger to them.

@propublica.org investigative journalist, Avi Asher-Schapiro, joins me w/his latest on the push to cash in on Homan’s role in the Trump Regime.

We need to end private companies' profiting from the detention centers now! Want to bet Trump and other lawmakers are getting a kickback?? The same thing goes for prisons.

Pritzker: "This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

This is not what democracy looks like. Anyone who cares at all about the Constitution has to take a stand against this and against MAGA.

Phang: How are these Epstein victims supposed to feel about closure when you see Blanche meeting with Maxwell and then giving her a minimum-security camp move?

And now, conversations allegedly that Trump is going to have with the DOJ about pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell. It is an abomination

He abused a child for 3 years and got 6 months in county jail!! No surprise when the leader of the country has done the same and more! Good thing Cindy was not my daughter!

A Republican Trump supporter pleads guilty to child sex abuse charges. Think it’s Epstein? Think again.

MAGA is avoiding talking about it, but I'm covering the criminal case of TX megachurch pastor, Robert Morris, & why Republicans are the biggest hypocrites of them all.

Hot off the presses: the Devil’s opening a VIP wing — reserved for ICE agents who terrorize people, assault clergy, restrain children, and abuse immigrants or Americans. Congrats, badge-wearers — you just RSVP’d for a one-way trip. Anyone surprised? 😈#AccountabilityNow #ICERaids

So Trump wants to invoke the Insurrection Act when there isn't an insurrection? Why did he sit on his hands when there was an actual insurrection? What a pathetic, weak little man.

Absolutely ridiculous.

We must guarantee back pay after this shutdown that Trump and Republicans led us into.

Our federal workers rely on their paychecks to pay rent, support their families, and feed their kids, just like the rest of us. They deserve better.

Axios @axios.com · 1d

SCOOP: Furloughed federal workers aren't guaranteed compensation for their forced time off during the government shutdown, according to a draft White House memo described to Axios by three sources.

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.

Senate Democrats must continue to hold the line. The GOP is trying to run out the clock, but we need to encourage our senators to keep fighting to protect healthcare for millions of Americans and stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

(next to an image of the Capitol and a hand holding a megaphone) STOP THE TRUMP SHUT DOWN

Shame on Speaker Johnson for giving House Republicans a paid vacation while our military troops and public servants go without pay.

This government shutdown won’t end unless Speaker Johnson is willing to come back to work.
