Trump & Bessent are considering another $20 billion to Argentina in the middle of a government shutdown.

Federal workers are standing in line at food banks.

People are at risk of losing their healthcare.

Food assistance is being cut.

Half of Americans can’t afford a basic standard of living

The assistance is aimed at bolstering the country's collapsing currency and calming economic unrest before Oct. 26 midterm elections.

If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which would be trouble for his boss.

You’re caught up.

Ps: Welcome back.

Debbie Brockman of WGN in Chicago has hired an attorney and plans to fight back against her unlawful arrest and detention by ICE.

Freedom of the press is under attack.

Tackling and arresting journalists is another step towards state run media.

Bring on the lawsuits.

I'm not afraid. Come and get me, Donald.

I will stand up for the law and the Constitution. That’s what we do in the State of Illinois.

Not sure they’re worried. I think they are trying to feed the narrative that the protesters are violent insurrectionists. They plan to give Trump ammunition to impose martial law/the Insurrection Act. They support this and are salivating at the mouth.

Yes, and he looks for any excuse to bash trans folks. Imagine having an audience for 60 mins per wk during this administration and devoting so much time to this. He loves punching down. Also bashes Muslims most weeks.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.
