Republicans stood today and blamed Democrats for 42 million people starving. They will lie about anything! Never in history has SNAP been stopped in shutdown. Now they're fighting a judges order?! It's clear REPUBLICANS do t want to feed sick, poor, elderly & children. It's all about rich! Wake up

I wish you told us what they call hitting immigrants over head w/flashlight. They need to be held accountable! People need to hear the disgusting truth.

In a news conference shortly after the episode, Mayor Daniel Biss said immigration agents had “beaten people up” and “abducted them.”

“It is an outrage,” Biss said. “Our message for ICE is simple: Get the hell out of Evanston.”

If we look at what Trumps "deal" got USA & what we already had before Trump's Liberation Day, we're still screwed! XI is controlling Trump.
At an Asia-Pacific summit, China’s leader Xi Jinping courted countries for trade and investment, but also implicitly warned them not to join the U.S. in reducing the world’s reliance on Chinese supply chains.

At an Asia-Pacific summit, the Chinese leader urged countries to “resist unilateral bullying,” an appeal that seemed at odds with his country’s recent actions.

Guess who's still getting paid in this shutdown? ICE agents! They're even getting signing bonuses- that's YOUR tax dollars- we can't afford to fund SNAP or air traffic controllers, but we ARE paying Proud Boys and Neo-Nazis to cover their faces and attack our citizens.
#BREAKING: Today in #Aurora, a #Chicago suburb, ICE agents surrounded the car of a U.S. citizen in a parking lot, firing into her windshield as she screamed that her children were inside.

I do feel bad for all the Americans suffering. Republicans must know that they can't afford increase in health ins. either. They ran on LOWERING Prices, NOT INCREASING ALL COSTS! While rich get more!

@symonedsanders.bsky.social Symone, glad to hear you talk about Republicans in Congress. Now, we need to ask Republican voters if they're OK w/what Trump & Republicans are doing. Also, Scott stole millions from Medicare so of course he supports Trumps 230 mil ck! 🤬⚖️🇺🇸

one category of show prep material for TRMS staff is something we've always called "subway reading".

it's something that's not exactly current events or new reporting... but nevertheless relevant food for thought given the news we're in.

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world
Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.
