NEW EPISODE: Rep. Eric Swalwell and I discuss how Trump is deploying the military in U.S. cities to shutting down Congress and blocking the release of Epstein files — all as part of a strategy to protect himself and undermine American democracy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2jK...

Went to No Kings gathering in Marble Falls, TX, a county which voted 80% for Trump, and more than 500 folks gathered on bridge over Lake. Wow. So Amazing.

This is unconstitutional and illegal. A memorandum doesn’t grant anyone the power to override the Constitution.

Trump has signed an order expanding his administration’s authority to redirect unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown,

Americans have gotten more than $21 billion back in their bank accounts after being cheated and scammed by big corporations, thanks to the CFPB.

But Trump and his Administration love grifters and scammers.

So they're trying to kill the agency holding them accountable.

The Orange Asshole is hurting our veterans. Veterans who fought for our country & are sick from their service.

This Marine has Colon Cancer & was delayed receiving treatment because of the cuts at the VA. His cancer is from the burn pits.

Veterans deserve better!

Parnas: If he went to Congress and said, “You know what? There’s this crime emergency. We need the National Guard out there longer. We need to take over Washington, D.C.” Would you grant it?

Schumer: No fucking way.

ICE detained a 15 year old student with disabilities, at gun point outside a Los Angeles high school, but when asked by a journalist about it, Karoline Leavitt questioned his story.

The story was reported by the Los Angeles Times, the same paper who helped Trump get elected.
