Donald Trump is tilting at windmills. NEVER lose sight of that. He’s inviting us all into his hallucinated world. Reject the invitation.

The House Speaker continues to spread falsehoods about the government shutdown. trib.al/2b8VnZs

In reality, the GOP's plan to “fix health care” leaves millions without it—the plan is projected to cut $1.1T from the Medicaid and ACA marketplace by 2034, as well as impose higher work requirements.

It’s not an exaggeration or hyperbole to equate MAGA or fascist republicans or the orange felon or Fox Propaganda or KKK with Hitler and his Nazis/Gestapo/Brown shirts. They are all one in the same.

Monstrous.

"federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

The doctors are also concerned about his attacks on psychiatric medications.

Let's not forget that he's a fan of viruses, too.

The shutdown isn’t just about healthcare - it’s also about Congress reining in the president. We’re going to have a fight, so let’s have it now.

Yesterday on CNN Stephen Miller said Trump has plenary authority. If you watch the video, you can tell it was a slip of the tongue — he instantly froze up after realizing he’d said the quiet part out loud.

Just to be clear, Trump does not have plenary power — yet.
