Here's the solution for all the farmers whose chosen candidate has disappeared their workforce, closed global markets to them & paid $20 billion for Argentina to take the soybean business Brazil didn't get. Just sell everything you own & convert your farm to a Trump golf course. He'll pay you, right

This version is confirmed, by Hoffman Estates police, puncturing the official DHS statement.

At this point, there is a statement from DHS re 🧊 activities in the Chicago area that’s refuted in similar fashion on nearly a daily basis at a minimum over the past week

Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @congressmanraja.bsky.social · 1d

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Did Tom Homan give the $50,000 back?

VANCE: He did not take a bribe. It's a ridiculous smear

STEPHANOPOULOS: You didn't answer the question

VANCE: Did he accept $50,000? I'm sure that in the course of Homan's life, he's been paid more than $50k for services.

(So, no, he didn't)

The only way we save our country is through our numbers.

Trump and MAGA don't have the majority, not even close.

Overwhelm them with numbers. Resist everywhere. They are too reckless, incompetent, and self-destructive.

Also, divide and conquer. Many fissures, especially around Epstein.

Rats often flee ships & buildings moments before disaster. Their acute sensitivity to vibration, heat, & pressure let them detect danger long before they risk becoming trapped. The pattern is so consistent, the Navy entered it in maritime logs as empirical warning, not myth.

Watch the rats 👀

Trump and Johnson could be protecting military paychecks. Democrats have a bill to do it. But their top priority is blocking the release of the Epstein files.

The GOP is abetting the fascist takeover over our country by madmen in the executive bent on immoral authoritarian power.

They use the self-created and sustained chaos & pain to divide Americans in the center to gain support. The GOP majority in both houses of Congress could stop it, but won’t.

Repubs are simply doing what they’re good at. Doing little to no work for the American people. Then assigning blame to Democrats. Letting time pass by in the hope that enough people will blame Democrats for the shutdown.

When was the last time Republicans had a policy that would make life easier ?

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?
