I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

Laser focused on reducing prices for everyday Americans from Day One, the President has struck a deal that will lower the price of Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Jaguars, Aston Martin's, Range Rovers, and Minis.

I truly wish him the best and thank him for his service.

The Dems now have to demonstrate that they are prepared to forge a new path forward in which leadership is selected based on the range of skills we need to effectively navigate this emergency, not exclusively on “next man up” seniority.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

I'm sorry, but any major news media outlet not covering hands off protests, tesla protests, or the acts of popular resistance are making a deliberate choice -- to serve power.

So any legit press in the White Press corps should deny him the microphone — walk out on this lying propaganda charade, and go do some shoe-leather reporting about him instead.
Every president of both parties going back generations subscribed to the principle that a president doesn't pick the press corps that is allowed in the room to ask him questions. Trump has just declared that he will.
The message is clear. Given that the White House has already kicked one news organization out of the pool because of coverage it does not like, it is making certain everyone else knows that the rest of us can be barred too if the president does not like our questions or stories.

Crockett: They have a Trump trifecta. So, if the government shuts
down, it is going to be on Trump and his minions. It is not going to be on us because we weren't elected to gut social security, medicaid, medicare, and USAID. That's not what we campaigned on. So that's not what we're going to do.

That is NOT opposition. Opposition is:

-- getting dragged out in handcuffs when USAID security denies you entrance
-- objecting to Unanimous Consent Every. Single. Step.
-- not skipping town on the weekends, instead filibustering on the Senate floor

We saw real opposition in S. Korea. Be that!

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

There’s no need for a new law and you’re never going to get it passed in the minority anyway.

Just demand that the authorities apply the current laws to stop the actions that are already illegal
Schumer: "Today Leader Jeffries and I are joining together to push legislation to prevent unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department's payment systems and protect Americans across the country ... we call our legislation, 'stop the steal'"

I really hope Democratic lawmakers took notice of the actions of Sen. Schatz, Sen. Kim, and others today and observed how quickly they were celebrated by millions of voters.

This is not about getting the response 100% right or knowing exactly what the plan should be.

It's about making an effort.
