Sen. Tammy Duckworth: "ICE are raging through the streets of Chicago trying to intimidate everyday ordinary citizens trying to go to school and work. That's not what America is about. It's shameful that the president has instigated this."

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

"Judge Immergut has called an emergency hearing TONIGHT at 10pm ET/7pm PT in regards to Trump's attempt to evade her National Guard order by calling up California troops to Portland. California earlier today joined onto the lawsuit filed by Oregon and the city of Portland."

Scanning headlines/posts, it's disturbing how the news of Bad Bunny picked to perform at the Super Bowl has served as a civics quiz on whether Puerto Ricans are American citizens (answer: they are & he is), but this story (not just the headline) is even worse/more gross...

Coffee prices rising for Canadians at Tim Hortons, grocery stores Canada’s iconic coffee chain is charging more for the drink, reflecting a wider trend of jittery coffee prices.

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Twenty-four million Americans are going to have their insurance rates increase. In Arizona, up to 100,000 people are going to lose their insurance."

Sen. Adam Schiff: "Democrats understand that millions and millions of their constituents are about to be priced out of their healthcare....Premiums are going to go up by $900 to $1,000 a month. No one can afford that."

Kelly: "This comes down to one thing: the price that Americans have to pay for their healthcare. It could be easily fixed...if Mike Johnson would bring back the Republican House and we get together and have a real, bipartisan negotiation about how to bring down these high costs."

Sen. Mark Kelly: "Millions of people will lose their healthcare or go bankrupt. When people lose their healthcare, they die. That is the reality of the situation that we're in."

Sen. Booker: "Because of Donald Trump's attacks on Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, we're on the verge of tens of millions of Americans losing their healthcare and most Americans experiencing a significant rise in their healthcare costs."

"Matt Ashton, owner of Lekko Coffee in Ohio City, says they've seen a steady increase in the price since COVID, but nothing like the volatility the industry is experiencing now."

Sen. Mark Kelly: "In Alaska, folks have received letters that their premiums are going up from $600 a month to $4,000 a month. That's unaffordable. And in my state of Arizona, 109,000 people are likely to lose their healthcare."

I would remind folks that among the reasons Stephen Miller is saying crazy crap on Twitter is because he's losing in the courts, both judicial and public opinion.

Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE is] just picking up people who are brown and black and then checking their credentials. I don't know about you, but I don't carry around papers that say I'm a U.S. citizen. So U.S. citizens are getting detained and arrested."

Just took a train in Germany last week and the attendant told us the parallels between their past and our present were alarming.

When you send in a secret police with brand new assault weapons and tactical gear, but no body cameras, into your own cities, you’re trying to instigate violence with enough leeway to avoid the FOIA and craft your preferred narrative for state approved media sources.

Sen. Schiff to NBC: "He's described me as the enemy within. He's described other Democratic elected officials as the enemy within. He is using the Justice Dept. to go after his political enemies, and he's using the Justice Dept. to protect his political friends … This should concern every American."

Nicely explained and on Fox! Hopefully some of the viewers will change their thinking.
