TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.

REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?

TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

The President is calling for Democratic members of Congress to be hanged. This is deplorable, un-American, & an open invitation to political violence.

Servicemembers take their oath to the Constitution, not to any president. I stand with my colleagues who have honorably served this nation.

If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?

Likewise: anyone who says "Time to kick moderates out! Their day is over!"

Plenty of more moderate voters and politicians hate the Surrender Caucus nonsense. It's not a left-center thing and people who try to turn it into to one are trying to exploit the moment to win a factional battle.

Im sorry there is no spinning this- this is the worst piece of negotiations and politics strategy of recent memory.

R’s were under pressure, infighting, and stuck with Trump.

You just engineered a complete let off.

Sorry Marcy you’re barking up the wrong tree here
SNAP was likely resolved for November but if you really believe this there was an easy tactical move to play- vote for the House CR which funded to November 21, that solves the short term problems.
I feel like this needs to be said, bc some big accounts are missing it.

The people feeling the pain of shutdown:

Govt workers furloughed or working for free (Lots in VA)
Flights (note fight over private v. commercial @katieporteroc.bsky.social won)
40M losing SNAP

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

If the sandwich stayed whole, the defense meets its goal
The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.
