Border Patrol Agents Pose At The Bean For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, 'Little Village!'"

The only thing Trump enjoys is compensating for his diminished mental and physical state with flamboyant displays of dominance. So his bad week ended on a real high note for him.

A flexible spending account that replaces enhanced ACA premium tax credits would help people with their out-of-pocket health care costs. But, that help would be limited if they couldn't afford to buy insurance to begin with without the enhanced tax credits.

Phang: These firings were illegal in the first fucking place.

It’s like the Republicans are supposed to think that they’ve now done something right by not doing what is illegal in the first place.

“The worst view of current economic conditions since 1951… 61% blame Trump… 79% of independents have a negative view of Trump’s economic policies… if these numbers hold Republicans can wave adios to the house, and maybe the senate…”

Pro tip: when preparing to fix future elections, be sure to surround yourself with a grateful criminal element that has already proven itself to be impervious to facts and shame.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

Millions of Americans are going to be destroyed by their insurance costs, at best, or lose their insurance and possibly die at worst. And millions more every year of Trump's term due to Trump's bill. This has never happened in American history, and I don't think anyone can predict what happens next.
A deal that does nothing to lower costs does not serve my constituents and it is not what the American people want. They need relief ASAP.

Republicans have "won" the right to uninsure millions of Americans, nearly all of them self-employed, farmers, and business owners, the exact people they pretend they want us to be.

Yep. Keep capitulating to this monster. Don't worry, he'll change for you. You can change him. He's only 80, a convicted felon, and an adjudicated rapist with 67 sex-crime allegations on him. Just keep rolling over. If you roll over enough maybe we can have the whole fucking world in flames by 2028.

There are cases like this happening every day. Trump is the most pro-criminal president in history - if you are wealthy and have connections. Spare us the “Law and Order” bs.

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

Trump just pardoned the entire 2020 coup cast…Giuliani, Meadows, Powell and 74 more. Fantastic. Nothing screams “I’m innocent”…like handing out get-out-of-jail cards to everyone who helped you try to steal an election. Hell of a business model, though.

Trump to air traffic controllers: "For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK"
