I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Laura N. Rodríguez Presa on Twitter: “A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them. Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.”

While Trump escalates his attacks on our freedoms with occupations of our cities and secret police forces terrorizing our communities, normal everyday people across the nation are showing up every single day with courage and defiance.

The Trump Shutdown is happening because Republicans (who control the White House & Congress) refuse to pass a funding plan to stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter.

Republican House + Republican Senate + Republican President = "democrats shut down the government"?

Sens. Schumer & Gillibrand (NY), Schatz (HI), Durbin (IL), Peters (MI), and Hassan & Shaheen (NH) did the right thing by refusing to back a GOP budget that would decimate healthcare.

But now they’re under pressure to give in. Urge them to oppose the cruel GOP budget: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.

Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Trump questioned perception of Portland before approving military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?' President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

Yet again, the American people are dealing with the consequences of Trump believing something that he saw on TV.

How to solve climate change?
Just stop talking about it, according to the Trump Administration.

The overwhelming scientific consensus is that climate change is very much real and caused directly by human activities (primarily the burning of fossil fuels).

Trump’s new target: Microsoft head of global affairs Lisa Monaco She worked under Merrick Garland and Biden.

Over the past 10 days, Trump has sued The New York Times, demanded investigations and firings of his political enemies, attempted (with temporary success) to bully a comedian off the air and threatened progressive groups.

These are not signs of Trump’s power. They’re signs of his regime’s weakness.

Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward.

When he feels humiliated, he lashes out.

Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.

He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

Senator Warren on Twitter: “Nexstar, the largest TV broadcaster, needs Donald Trump's approval for a $6 billion deal. If approved, Nexstar would control TV stations reaching 80% of households - violating the cap set by Congress to protect against monopolies. This censorship of Kimmel reeks of corruption.”

ABC and Disney heard our voices, but broadcasters Nexstar and Sinclair still refuse to air Jimmy Kimmel’s show.
