Today I joined the No Kings rallies in Shelbyville, Lexington, and Frankfort and I couldn’t be more inspired by the energy and unity I saw. Across the country, Americans are coming together in peaceful, powerful ways to stand up for our democracy and fight for what’s right.

Stopped at Office Depot. Had to wait in line behind five other middle-aged people buying poster board and markers.

This is grossly dark. These are broken people.

But it's also so politically dumb.

How do they think Americans will react to being told that anyone who doesn't support Trump is a terrorist?

uh, if it's no longer protecting consumers, it's because Russell Vought decimated it

Long standing policy, not law. Federal workers have gotten paid every shutdown since at least the mid 90s, haven’t they?. I don’t know what happened in the 70s.

β€œPut Them in Trauma”: Inside a Key MAGA Leader’s Plans for a New Trump Agenda Private videos reveal Trump adviser Russ Vought’s β€œshadow” plans for using the military on protesters, defunding the EPA and villainizing civil servants.

Before engineering the Trump administration's government shutdown response, Russ Vought spent years building Project 2025 strategy.

β€œWe want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected,” he said in 2023. β€œWhen they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work.”

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

This is illegal, plain and simple, with penalties including removal from federal service, debarment from federal employment for five years, and a fine of $1000. 5 U.S.C. Β§ 7326.

A country which valued the rule of law would enforce its laws.

Elizabeth Warren: "The president said 'I am going to impose a lot more pain on my fellow American citizens. I'm going to impose a lot more pain on people in NY who need to use those tunnels so I can get my way politically.' To me, that is a place to stop & say, then we're ready to fight about this"

FEMA Is Paralyzed. Disaster-Torn Communities Are Paying the Price. St. Louis’s tornado was months ago, but it’s still waiting for hundreds of millions in federal recovery funds to arrive. It’s part of Trump’s plan to shift responsibility to the states and shrink the ...

"FEMA officials arrived to go door-to-door to help residents apply for federal funds. But then they stopped as the administration canceled the door-to-door program.

FEMA closed disaster-recovery facilities where residents could apply for financial assistance last week."

Grocery prices have jumped up, and there's no relief in sight Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.
