Q: There are Republicans and Democrats concerned that they are not getting information about who is on those ships

TRUMP: Well, but they are given information that they are loaded up with drugs, and that's the thing that matters

Your actions have consequences.

You choose not to vote, you lose your say.

You elect a felon, expect to get robbed.

Not everyone voted for this administration, but everyone must live through it.

Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

#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?

Frost: Trump knows that when they passed the big, ugly bill that rips away healthcare from 17 million people, you usually don’t win elections when you do something like that…

So instead of undoing that, he’s pressuring states to give him more seats.

What California is doing is responding to that

First the Trump regime fired 1,300 CDC workers. Then it rehired about half of them.

Those who remain fired include key officials working on injury and violence prevention and crucial health statistics.

This hurts federal workers and puts us all at risk in a public health emergency.
