She wasn't "arrested", she was assaulted, kidnapped, & is being unlawfully imprisoned for playing music during a peaceful protest.

The chump administration is openly trampling the rights of Americans to instill fear & silence dissent.

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

Why today’s Voting Rights Act at SCOTUS important:

Democrats in South face wipeout if Supreme Court guts Voting Rights Act — NYT

What could happen without Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act

Map on left shows the current map WTH southern states in red and major voting areas of blue for democratic voting areas in Louisiana, Miss., Alabama., Tenn., Ga., Florida, S.C. And N.C.

The map on the right shows a possible scenario which dramatically changes/shrinks democratic voting areas leaving blue voting blocks in small area of Ga., N.C. and only two small areas of Florida.

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

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.

With the government shutdown and this administration, the unknown is the biggest catalyst towards recession.

Iow, a complete lack of transparency or just another campaign lie in a sea of lies.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious
