"Not only is Donald Trump not here, not negotiating, Mike Johnson has now shut down the House for 39 consecutive days. There's no one to negotiate with. Across town, Trump is building a $300 million ballroom while he is set to let Americans starve."

Why is the @todayshow.com talking so much about Biden’s diagnosis? He’s out of office - it history.

Yet they ignore lies about Trump’s health! They ignore Trump’s word salads!

The bias is to the right in traditional media.

Deeply disappointed in @nbcnews.com and @todayshow.com that calls Trump’s idea of deporting Americans as “controversial” vs illegal, unconstitutional, or un-American. Stand up to this bullying. You have a voice, use it.

Trump is denying due process to foreign nationals here legally before ripping them from their families and deporting them.

Do we really believe this regime will follow any sort of due process for American citizens before Trump tries to deport them?

Call it what it is: fascism.
Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.”

Their endgame, however, is more radical: not just to limit the government but also to steer it toward Christian rule.

@chuckschumer.com you say you won’t go. But you don’t hold the purse strings. The people do.

I donated to the election of Kamala and the party. But I have told my CO senators that I am not donating to any democratic candidate or the party until you are removed from leadership.

Folks, I am not historically one to rock the boat with Democratic leadership. Because I know their responsibilities are quite difficult. But this is not just about a vote on one bill; this is a pattern of being basically rudderless for the past three months.
