Well that wasn’t even close. Must be all kinds of illegal aliens (maybe even some actual aliens?) voting in New Jersey, Virginia, California, and New York!

Pentagon to use $130 million donation from anonymous Trump β€˜friend’ to pay military members | CNN Politics The Trump administration plans to funnel a $130 million donation from an anonymous ally of President Donald Trump toward paying military service members during the government shutdown, the Defense Dep...

If Congress has not appropriated these funds (it hasn't) the Anti-Deficiency Act makes it illegal to accept private donations to offset a funding lapse. ONLY Congress has the power of the purse. Not POTUS. Not Anonymous LLC. Every story here too should put "illegal" in the headline. Every one.

I don't understand how anyone can make the case that we still have constitutional government at this point. The president is collecting revenue *AND* spending money without Congressional authorization, refusing to spend money that Congress appropriated, disobeying whatever laws he feels like.

The complete demolition of the East Wing has occurred in days.Β Β 

Hundreds of thousands are without work and pay, millions are threatened to have food assistance cut offβ€”and the President is bulldozing the White House to build a $300 million ballroom for himself.

Americans will not forget.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Jack Smith’s Not-So-Subtle Message In two recent appearances, the former special counsel explained his view of what it means to say β€˜No Kings.’

"Again and again, Smith emphasized that the current administration has diverged from all previous administrations." And Smith does so without invective or partisanship.

Good that people are using "lying" rather than more evasive language. Why should we believe a single word that comes out of the white house?

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.
