GOV. WALZ: "The biggest myth is that this guy understands business. He's an absolute abject failure at business — the irony is calling Democrats socialists when I am begging for free markets here to allow capitalism to work. Trump’s the one with government interference." (From @atrupar.com )

Watch this quick explainer on the Hatch Act and you’ll see just how far the regime has gone—propaganda in airports, partisan emails, and political orders from the top. It’s not “messaging,” it’s a full-blown assault on the law that keeps our government nonpartisan.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

#TrumpIsFailing
Trump is failing us! Trump equates himself with America, so when he says America First, he means TRUMP COMES FIRST and the rest of us are along for the ride.

President Trump is meeting with the President of Argentina instead of meeting with Congressional leaders to end the shutdown and prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing.

$20 billion for Argentina, but no $ for Americans' health care?

It’s a ceasefire, not a peace plan. Media call it a “peace plan” because leaders frame it that way, headlines favor optimism, and it’s part of a broader roadmap. But a ceasefire only pauses fighting and it doesn’t resolve the conflict.
