He finally got the election-denying MAGA A.G. he always dreamed of. Bondi was openly partisan, scornful & highly combative, her non-answers dripping with disdain. Very telling when she was asked if she'd seen the photos of her boss "with half-naked young women." PATHETIC

CNN: β€œAn older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 β€” 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

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.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Christian nationalist fascism: when they lower masked Gestapo goons from helicopters in the night to smash apartment windows, terrorize residents, and zip-tie and kidnap children for not being white looking enoughβ€” and then violate the 1st Amendment by reciting scripture from a government account.

Argentina cut a deal with China that undercuts American soybean farmers already crushed by Trump’s tariffs.

Now Trump wants send $20 billion of YOUR tax dollars to bail out his political ally in Argentina.

America First? More like Trump first.

Farmers contributed to trade associations to develop soybean export markets over the past couple of decades and then they voted in November to liquidate those markets. It’s really that simple.

Trump calls for using US cities as 'training ground' for military in unusual speech to generals President Donald Trump is proposing using American cities as training grounds for the armed forces. He's suggesting U.S. military might be deployed against what he describes as the β€œinvasion from with...

This is called bringing the war home, as one expert phrased it. We are all the enemy within if we happen to live in a blue district, in a city. Bullets don't care what your name or politics are. They just care that you're in the way.

The stakes are clear. He thinks of us as target practice.

They’re a fucking armed militia being goaded by the president to harm the people he’s supposed to represent, so yeah, we’re fearful. But we also can’t believe we have to do this.
