Navy veteran: The shutdown affects all veterans. They're cutting back on medical help in the hospital. How do you cut back the people that are helping the veterans that serve this country? You're cheating the veterans out of everything. Trump, what are you doing? You don't love American veterans?

As Trump marches toward militarizing San Francisco:

- Memorize contact info in case of arrest

The rainbow crosswalk is gone and now Houston’s Third Ward fears the George Floyd mural and Black Lives Matter tribute could be next. These are not political statements, they are sacred symbols of truth and history. You can’t erase pain by removing or painting over the truth.

Sen. Coons: It's pretty striking that the House of Representatives hasn't come to work for weeks. Trump ran on lowering our costs and making Americans healthier again. And what's going to happen to millions of Americans is that their health insurance rates will go up dramatically.

Under Mike Johnson, the House has conducted just 20 days of business in the last 16 weeks and refused to swear in Democrat Adelita Grijalva.

Don't forget what this is really about: keeping the release of the Epstein Files at bay.

Host: Trump is demanding $230 million from the taxpayers as compensation for investigations into him by the DOJ. The mountain of ethical red flags surrounding Trump demanding $230 million from the government he leads with his own AG set to sign off on any settlement is obvious.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

New reporting reveals Trump is demanding $230 million from the taxpayers as compensation for investigations into him by the DOJ.

Trump's ballroom donors include:
