Cutting 30,000 jobs at the VA, which will put veterans' services at risk.

Firing federal workers across government, many of whom are veterans.

Gutting SNAP & Medicaid, which millions of veterans need.

Our vets defended us, and this is how the Trump regime is repaying them?

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

What just happened on the Senate floor was a disgrace.

In the same chamber where the nation watched Senator McCain show courage in saving the ACA, now we see a vote that will lead to millions losing healthcare. 1/2

He wants to starve you and your family, deny you healthcare, and intimidate your kids with jackbooted thugs while he builds a ballroom for himself and his pals, runs multibillion-dollar crypto scams, throws grotesque Great Gatsby-themed balls in Florida, and redecorates a House you pay for like this

More fun with Trumpy numbers.

He's floated sending $2,000 checks to every household, "except rich ones," whatever that means, financed by tariff revenues.

It would cost $265 billion. Tariff revenue since Liberation Day has totaled $151 billion.

Bit of a shortfall.

Mike Johnson refused to swear in Adelita Grijalva for 7 weeks after she won her election by about 40 points. Mitch McConnell refused to give Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, even a hearing for most of a year. Sen. Tommy Tuberville blocked all military nominations for 10 months /

Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

NEWS: Senate Republicans are threatening to block the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies—unless Democrats agree to tougher abortion restrictions.

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

By sending us $2,000 to give to billionaire insurance CEOs, and by tripling the interest we pay to mortgage companies while he continues to limit what we can write off, he's effectively looting the treasury and using us a mules to launder the stolen money; funneling it to the wealthy.

Project 2025 is bad for Veterans. Privatizing TRICARE will leave millions without access. Repost if you feel that our nation's bravest deserve better.

I just issued an executive order to develop a veteran food pantry network to provide food support for veterans, service members, and their families.

Regardless of what happens at the federal level, Minnesota remains committed to providing for those who protect our freedom.

High-profile Jan. 6 defendant facing charges of kidnapping, sexual assault John Banuelos' case was unique among Capitol riot prosecutions because he was the only defendant accused of pulling and firing a gun while on Capitol grounds.

The bulk of these fuckers joined ICE. I suspect MORE of this shit to come in the not so distant future.

I told my son today that what moved the government to vote on the shutdown was not the 42 million without SNAP.

It was planes.

Priorities even a teenager could understand were shameful.

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

I have to hand it to them, it's an incredible bit to publicly lose a game of chicken, admit that's what happened, and then spend the next day lecturing everyone about courage and tenacity

Open Records Advocates Alarmed as DHS Abandons Text Archiving Software for Manual Screenshots Relying on agents to archive their own messages via screenshots has the potential for error and abuse, experts say.

Not a surprise - just took them 10 months to think of it.

a new genre of photo in the last year is federal agents working for ICE pointing guns directly at photographers

Today the Supreme Court granted review in an important case for the outcome of the 2026 elections. At stake is the fate of tens or even hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots.

The U.S. Supreme Court was given the wrong numbers. The “unwind” in the event of a negative decision on Tariffs, would be, including investments made, to be made, and return of funds, in excess of 3 Trillion Dollars. It would not be possible to ever make up for that kind of a “drubbing.” That would truly become an insurmountable National Security Event, and devastating to the future of our Country - Possibly non-sustainable!

Oh, so he totally stole the money

Border Patrol Agents Pose At The Bean For Apparent Photo Op The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, 'Little Village!'"

Making fun of our neighborhoods and communities is disgusting.

Greg Bovino and his masked agents are not here to make Chicago safer. As children are tear gassed and U.S. citizens detained, they are posing for photo ops and producing reality TV moments. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

The Situation: Assessing the Shutdown Not a good outcome—except perhaps politically.

"What is obvious, however, is that the Democrats who both voted to initiate the shutdown and then caved in the face of no material change of circumstance were either wrong 41 days ago or are wrong now."
