Trump could end shut down today by doing his job and leading negotiations on health care, instead he golfs while government workers will get paid eventually for this time off and the American people suffer with unsafe skies, looming health care collapse, and Trump

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California.

DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states.

We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

ICE agent called woman โ€œbitchโ€ before he shot her seven times. She was not brandishing a weapon as they claimed. Why wonโ€™t they release his name? Donโ€™t let them provoke you. Record everything you can safely.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

I have a small business that sells horse products. While they are made in the US, the parts come from Europe and Australia. Some of the components have gone from $300 in June to $800 in Sept. these tariffs are unsustainable for small businesses.

How bad are tariffs going?

I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff Iโ€™ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business.

UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me.

That makes it 5x more expensive!!! ๐Ÿคฏ

The tariffs are only in place to put small to medium size businesses out of business so corporations can absorb their market share
