Like Barbara Walters did. When he lied about his bankruptcy negotiations she said, "No. I talked to the bankers."

Speaker Johnson: Federal employees aren’t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar.

End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.
If Republicans had any ethics, integrity, mortality at all they would have insisted their Democratic counterparts be included.
Left finally got Civil Rights and Medicare in 60s. Republicans have attacked those ever since. Anything the left got to protect people has been continually under attack by right wing and the rich. Now we have rule by the rich and corruption in government. The right never gives up.
No there has never been an extreme left wing movement in USA. The New Deal gave us social security which other democracies had already created, banking regulations and labor protections including unions. Those protections eroded & wages stagnated & banks stole homes in 2008. 1/
I stopped watching their show and never will again after they bowed down to drumpf.

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

Homeland Security thugs are terrorizing my hometown, Evanston, IL, today. I can’t help thinking our neighbors are being targeted because 91% of us voted for Kamala Harris.
Of course
It tracks that the same regime using the government shutdown to cover up the sexual abuse of children, is just fine with starving them too.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.
We must get constitutional amendment to prevent corporate and massive personal campaign donations allowed by SC Citizens United decision.

THIS IS TRUMP’S AMERICA!

A 16-year-old minor from Houston, Texas, who is a U.S. Citizen was beaten, tackled, and choked by ICE as he was heading for school. They used racial slurs against him and his father. The officers did not identify themselves or show any badge.
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.

Who are those donors giving the money to? Trump? That's illegal - a bribe out and out. A corporation? What is legal basis for corp paying for demolition & construction? A nonprofit? Who created it and for what? Media - get the specific answers from donors.
Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut operations and Republicans still investigated him for fraud (they found none). Bessent should already have divested his assets to take position in government. Why hasn't he? Republicans get okays to cheat?
Because it is a tool of the powerful and wealthy. They only use it on the less powerful and when they can get away with it.
I fear Republicans won't care when it turns out the Epstein files do not show Hillary Clinton drinking blood and sacrificing babies.
Of course. Always money for the rich but not for hungry people
Has anyone gotten a copy of the warrant? What judge signed it on what basis? Not allowed to break down doors without a warrant. Are warrants public documents published by a court?
