Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA): “I don’t like to do ad hominem attacks, but I’ve served with 4 different speakers. This is the fifth one. He is by far the weakest speaker, I think, in American history.”

Demolition of the White House East Wing has begun to make way for Donald Trump’s planned $250 million presidential ballroom, despite his earlier pledge that the project would not alter or interfere with the existing structure.
POLITICO reported that Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, sent racist & antisemitic texts—including calling Martin Luther King Jr. Day “hell-worthy,” saying he has “a Nazi streak,” and making slurs against Black and Asian people.

A dangerous bill to be introduced in the Senate this week by Senator Ron Johnson is the Shutdown Fairness Act; supposedly about paying troops, it gives Vought vast power to send money where he wants during the shutdown, while denying funding to programs & departments he dislikes.

Attacking and killing people on board any civilian vessel is an international crime. And even if those on board were involved in illegal activity, there is nothing permitting the U.S. military to use lethal force.
In Shambles
The White House’s deplorable policies—including extrajudicial killings, informant handovers, and brazen lies about defendants—have finally caught up to it.

Kilmar Abrego García:

A judge found sufficient basis, Garcia was vindictively prosecuted. 60 Minutes interviewed whistleblower & former Justice Department lawyer Erez Reuveni, who resigned after being ordered to lie to the court that he was an MS-13 gang member.

Multiple courts have ruled that this government’s declarations are “unreliable,” meaning they were lies to mislead courts or mistakes made to try to persuade courts to allow Trump’s invasions. The government lawyers submitted falsehoods in Trump’s effort to militarize our cities.
-The Contrarian
ProPublica reported that more than 170 US #citizens have been detained by #ICE. They “have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased & shot. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three Americans were pregnant.”

#Trump
The WSJ reported today that more than 3/4 of those who receive #healthinsurance through the ACA markets live in states that voted for #Trump. Trump as of November 1st will now double & triple their premiums.

Trump and his officials have excellent health insurance, paid for by us.
Republican leaders are refusing even to talk with Democrats to reopen the government. They are trying to force Democrats to do as they say. 78% of Americans support the Democrats’ demand for an extension of the tax credit that lowers the cost of healthcare premiums.

Trump’s hostility is manifesting in direct assaults on our government. Mike Johnson is refusing to seat Adelita Grijalva, chosen by voters Sept 23 to fill a vacant House seat. Until she’s sworn in, she has no access to government resources & can’t represent her constituents.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

The president has one core job under the Constitution: to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Not thwarted, diverted, blunted, revised or ignored. Faithfully executed.
