Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.

ICE boasted over the arrest of Sydney Reid, a DC woman accused of assaulting an FBI agent in an altercation with ICE officers near DC Jail.

The Trump administration used a VA veterans’ newsletter to blame Democrats for the government shutdown.
I don’t know how many people get this newsletter but it’s a massive audience, obviously.

U.S. District Judge William Alsup slams Trump administration for putting reinstated workers on administrative leave, rather than back on their jobs. Orders the White House to explain what's going on by noon today.
