Remember over the summer, when Trump urged reporters to start digging through mortgage records, looking for officials who might’ve committed fraud?
Months later, it’s hard not to wonder whether he regrets issuing such a challenge. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Two Trump mortgages have same feature that led to charges for several presidential foes
“Given Trump’s position on situations like this, he’s going to either need to fire himself or refer himself to the Department of Justice,” one expert said.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

Senate Dems must demand a change in leadership.
Despite 11/4’s clear Dem mandate, Schumer couldn't succeed in getting those 8
Dems to continue protecting the 22 million people who rely on ACA subsidies. He needs to be removed as Senate Minority Leader. Durbin must also be removed as Minority Whip.

I'm sickened by the Senate
Democrats that voted for the CR that "promises" a vote on the ACA. They have shown why voters can only rely on themselves & not Congress to get what we want done because most of Congress is out of touch. We showed our strength on 11/4 & I hope these traitors remember that.

Where will Trump get the money to pay to rebrand the DOD to the Department of War? There’s no budget for it. Is he using the $4.9 billion in foreign aid he cancelled without congressional approval? How can there be money to rebrand the DOD but not for taxpayers who need Medicaid or SNAP?

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house."
The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead.

Last night, 16 Senate Democrats voted with Republicans to advance a crypto-friendly bill that will enable Trump’s corruption.
Instead of standing up to Trump, these 16 Democrats decided they’d rather do a big favor for the crypto industry and legitimize an avenue for Trump to collect bribes.
