U.S. soybean farmers are being squeezed by Pres. Trump’s trade war with China, one of their biggest export markets in the world. I’ll talk to one farmer in Wisconsin @ 10a ET warning of the irreparable damage being done to U.S. agriculture. #Velshi

Impressive how one political party can control the White House, the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court, but not bear responsibility for whether the federal government functions. Neat trick.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend those states against this attack on federalism in 6 of those states: ME, MI, MN, NH, OR and PA.
I suggest that tomorrow DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining two: CA and NY.

Dear @apnews.com
The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once.
Fix your headline.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.
Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.
They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

U.S. Corporate media ignores that man who waged deadly attack on a Mormon church was a Trump supporter. This fact is important given Trump and Stephen Miller are seeking to blame Democrats for all violence to label Dem party a terrorist group. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/us-corpora...

There it is. Trump just confirmed he'll be cutting benefits for hardworking Americans after he shuts down the government.
👀 Just Now -- President Trump in the Oval Office said a government shutdown gives his administration the power to cut benefit programs, which include Social Security and Medicare.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort
