Vought promised to use the shutdown to shutter the bureaucracy. It didn’t go as planned.
The White House advised agencies to go big on downsizing, according to a document obtained by POLITICO. They haven't.

He’s going to invade Venezuela because of oil. Nothing else.

Don’t be fooled by the excuses and propaganda.

Dear CBS News personalities: The Canadians' ad did not portray Reagan's tariff policy fraudulently, and you do not have to repeat the president's false characterization of it.

Or if your new boss insists that you do, you can at least point out that it's false.

www.cbsnews.com/news/scott-b...
MARGARET BRENNAN: Understood. We'll talk to Hakeem Jeffries later in the program. I want to ask you about what the President just announced in regard to Canada. Today, the President said he wants to raise tariffs on Mexico. Yesterday, he said he's going to raise tariffs on Canada by 10%. He blames what he called a fraudulent ad that featured Ronald Reagan advocate- advocating for free trade. It was put up by the province of Ontario. Is this ad really the issue here, or is it just a tactic in this negotiation? Does the President want the USMCA free trade deal renegotiated, or is he looking to do two separate deals, one with Canada, one with Mexico?

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

As the Trump regime ramps up their attacks on our democracy, we need to use every tool we have to fight back — including mass demonstrations, economic tactics, mutual aid, grassroots pressure campaigns, and more. Indivisible was made for this kind of organizing, but we can’t do it without your help.

The thing about slurs is, if you use one (like the r-word), that means that you don't think everyone is equally deserving of dignity, which means you think that there are lines between who deserves dignity and who doesn't, and you can't really be surprised when other people draw different lines.

But I was informed by the WH and some members of the media that Karoline’s Leavitt’s statement was taken out of context and this isn’t his main priority.

What Republicans are doing to my family is unconscionable. My blind/disabled daughter who’s in my care is temporarily losing her SNAP benefits all because they don’t care that my ACA health insurance costs (premiums/out of pocket expenses) are increasing by over 100%. Hold firm, @democrats.org!

Adding to the list people who care for a loved one in their home. A lot of people in their care receive SNAP as a separate household (separate households can live in the same home). More often than not family caregivers are unpaid, but they will shoulder the burden of their love one losing SNAP.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

Rand Paul on Trump's strikes on boats: "I would call them extrajudicial killings. This is akin to what China does, what Iran does with drug dealers -- they summarily execute people without presenting evidence to the public. So it's wrong."
