Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

TODAY ➡️ Since August, the National Guard has been roaming DC intimidating people, crashing into cars, and calling the police if anyone makes fun of them.

DC is suing to get them out and the suit's first hearing is today. Join us at 12:30 to pack the court: freedcproject.org/event-list/p...

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

In under 12 months the US National debt has accelerated to $38 trillion with the Lying Thief's regime.

The Criminal has pocketed approx. $1.8 billion while raping the US.

He is destroying the country & the planet, to feed his insatiable greed.
Get rid of this destructive, selfish, egomaniac.

OMG! In Comey's motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution, he points to others who have lied to Congress that were NOT prosecuted. Number one is JEFF SESSIONS when he said "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two, but I did not have contact with the Russians." 1/

Obviously this means that grindr's app stability depends on clean sidewalks. /s

We all need to face reality that federal charges are no longer working. Each state needs to file state charges against anyone who breaks the law.

CHICAGO: “They took my son. He’s only 16. I just want my baby back.”

Ted finally deleted this lie over 24 hours later. Only the 900th time he has posted a fake right-wing internet lie. You would think a US Senator would take a few minutes to make sure these things are legit, but we are talking about Ted Cruz.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Two National Guard down a mostly empty 14th St mid-day Friday.

The Mission: Doing not much. Three National Guard pass The Mission on 14th.

Continued (mis)use of National Guard in DC for no purpose in the third week of a shutdown.

The Trump at work. (Doing nothing.)

Good job Coast Guard. Interdiction takes drugs off the streets and gives us evidence to go after kingpins. That should be the strategy in the Caribbean rather than illegally bombing boats that may or may not contain drugs.

Notice how this propagandist uses “terrorism” language to push hateful plot.

“Hello. You have reached the voicemail for the FBI. All our agents are currently busy redacting names from the Epstein files, doctoring evidence to politicize mass shootings and investigating anyone the President does not like. Please leave your contact info and someone will call you back soon.”

ICE will be "all over" the Super Bowl Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson that only "law-abiding Americans who love this country" should attend the event.

“They suck and we’ll win and God will bless us,” said a government official to a podcaster.

Welker: They say the house is not in session because you don't want to swear in the newly elected democratic congresswoman who would be a critical vote to releasing the Epstein files.

Johnson: It's totally absurd. This has nothing to do with that. It's another red herring.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

Howard Lutnick becoming an Epstein whistle blower was not on my Bingo card:

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

Is this the first time a British Royals have hosted a convicted criminal & rapist who attempted a coup against the American government ?

This.

No Naïveté, Please On the Kimmel affair; Taiwan and Ukraine; a Russian story; a World War II hero; and more

“WaPo:

President Trump declined to approve more than $400 million in military aid to Taiwan this summer, as he tries to negotiate a trade deal and potential summit with Xi Jinping...

Uh-huh.

‘We can’t support Ukraine because we have to save money for Taiwan…’”

Trump is a putz

More extrajudicial killings…

ICE continues to assault us.

We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

This will be called "evidence of consciousness of guilt" in subsequent criminal trials.
