🚨@merkley.senate.gov is STILL speaking on the Senate floor. I’m about to join him there to call out this authoritarian president who refuses to open the government and is betraying the American people at every turn.

A disgraceful response.

Not surprising but still horrible.
Q: How comfortable are you w/Trump seeking $230m from the DOJ?

MIKE JOHNSON: Uh, I don't know the details. I just read it. I know he believes he's owed that reimbursement. What I heard is that if receives it, he's gonna consider giving it to charity. They attack him for everything. *changes topic*

WBEZ/Sun-Times are crowd-sourcing a map of ICE raids.

Put aside what they’re doing and to whom and why.

The fact that the people of an American city, including the mayor and governor, have to guess where Federal agents are operating, is itself insane.

My friend @merkley.senate.gov is holding the Senate floor all night to sound the alarm on Trump’s lawless regime.

Proud to stand with him in this fight and in the U.S. Senate. There can be no business as usual.
This is really what it comes down to.

I'm holding the Senate floor to say HELL NO to Trump destroying our We the People government.

Even with the government shutdown, lots of Democrats are still acting like it’s business as usual
By a vote of 66-32, the #Senate invoked cloture on the nomination of Harold D. Mooty III to be US District Judge for the Northern District of Alabama.
I mean, at least we found out for SURE sure that they never meant anything about 2A and tyranny but actually were cool with kids getting murdered at school for 20 years straight.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

There are ~350 million Americans, and only 100 senators. I know it's naive to think they should be the 100 best of us because that has never been the case, but that's still the standard we should hold them to.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.
It has to be greater than 3.5% - this is the goal. We need almost *twice* as many people in the streets. Right now, the average American is still far too uninformed or apathetic. It's the sleeping 36% who didn't even bother to vote who need to get up off their ass and do their part.
“We just witnessed the largest protest in U.S. history — more than 2.1% of the country mobilized in one day. That’s breathtaking. That’s history in motion.

And despite the threats, the fears, the rumors of chaos — the day was overwhelmingly peaceful, determined, and joyful.”
A historic protest — what’s next?

As we enter Day 21 of the government shutdown, it’s important to understand that this is part of a concerted, organized, and well-funded effort to dismantle and reshape the federal government.

But 7 million marched in the streets this weekend to say: the American people will not stand for it. ✊

Along with the $20 billion U.S. taxpayer bailout to Argentina, the Trump admin announced another $20 billion for Argentina from private banks. But the banks won’t lend the money without a guarantee from the federal government. So it’s a $40B taxpayer bailout.

i keep thinking this must be an elaborate cover for destroying a crime scene.
Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing?

Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

The truth about Emil Bove's conduct at DOJ would not have been fully known, if it weren't for a whistleblower.

As this administration makes a habit of misleading the courts, and ignoring court orders, speaking up could mean exposing real lawlessness.
Welp it's gone now
Destruction of the White House East Wing began today. Here it is in better times with better residents.

Every weekday on Broadway, undocumented immigrants line up to enter 26 Federal Plaza. They enter harshly lit hallways where ICE agents mill around — waiting to take people away. For our cover story, Stephanie Keith captures the anguished scenes of arrest in downtown Manhattan. buff.ly/N6JNPUP.
