Trump says the US is in "armed conflict" with drug cartels.

Meanwhile, his DOJ is disbanding a task force that took on cartels.

Trump doesn't care about stopping drug trafficking โ€” he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.

This is a power grab.

TikTok โ€˜directs child accounts to pornographic content within a few clicksโ€™ Despite platformโ€™s limits on adult content, study finds it not only accessible but often suggested TikTok has directed childrenโ€™s accounts to pornographic content within a small number of clicks, according to a report by a campaign group. Global Witness set up fake accounts using a 13-year-oldโ€™s birth date and turned on the video appโ€™s โ€œrestricted modeโ€, which limits exposure to โ€œsexually suggestiveโ€ content.

A corrupt President and his cabinet make a mockery of the Presidency and the US Constitution. Have you no decency DT?
Nope, no decency. Also, no respect, no dignity, no love, compassion, or empathy for the American people.

A new KFF study reports: 24 million Americans will see their health care premiums under the Affordable Care Act DOUBLE.

Further, 15 million people will be thrown off their health care entirely.

Unacceptable. We canโ€™t subject millions of Americans to this unnecessary suffering.

Title text in red reads "Here's what limiting student visas means for Massachusetts:" Five bullet points under which read, "- Approx. $3.9 billion in revenue stripped from MA economy
- Losing thousands of local jobs - from universities to biotech startups
- Jeopardizing the enrollment of some 82,000 students in MA, which is the fourth largest international student body in the country
- Loss of innovation and international talent across industries 
- Could lead to a rise in tuition for American students"

Massachusetts thrives because of the perspectives and talents international students bring to our Commonwealth.

DHS's proposed restrictions on student visas will hurt our economy, industries, and communities. Earlier this week, I joined my fellow AGs to push back against this reckless move.

Suggested Out of Office Reply
CHCO Alert
To SBA Distribution List
SBA Colleagues,
6:35 AM
Below you will find the suggested Out of Office Reply for your Outlook Email:
I am out of office for the foreseeable future because Senate Democrats voted to block a clean federal funding bill (H.R. 5371), Leading to a government shutdown that is preventing the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) from serving America's 36 million small busi-nesses. Every day that Senate Democrats continue oppose a clean funding bill, they are stopping an estimated 320 small businesses from accessing $170 million in SBA-guaranteed funding.
As a result of the shutdown, we wanted to notify you that many of our services supporting small businesses are currently unavailable. The Agency is executing its Lapse Plan and as soon as the shutdown is over, we are prepared to immediately return to the record-breaking services we are providing under the leadership of the Trump Administration.

Suggesting that civil servants engage in political activity is unacceptable. SBA employees serve Americaโ€™s small businesses. Trumpโ€™s attempts to turn them into his personal lobbyists are potentially illegal and a slap in the face to small businesses that depend on SBA resources.

The shutdown means no jobs dataโ€”conveniently for Trump "To lose this source of data at this critical time, it's just a real problem."

โ€œThis damages the reputation of the independence and trustworthiness of the federal statistics that the BLS puts out."

One of the many casualties of the government shutdown is the critical jobs report administered by the Bureau of Labor Statisticsโ€”and much maligned by Trump.

Letโ€™s open our eyes. This isnโ€™t a functioning democracy any longer when - in the middle of a high stakes funding fight - the President illegally suspends federal projects in states run by Democrats as a way to punish the political opposition.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for peopleโ€™s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.

As the government shutdown begins, remember that one of the biggest deficit drivers of the past 20 years are Republican tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations. The issue isn't programs that help millions of Americans, it's giveaways to the rich.

Itโ€™s not just that this is puerile and lawless. Itโ€™s that it is completely out of touch with the issues relevant to contemporary warfare. Russia fights like this. It makes Russians criminals. But it doesnโ€™t make them winners.
