Where was Schumer highlighting this at his press conferences?!
Donald Trump sent more money to bail out Argentina than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits for just 1 year.

It's important to realize what precipitated this was Nexstar announcing they pulled showing Kimmel on their affiliates. They're currently waiting for the FCC to loosen restrictions to enable their massive merger. This was as much pay to play by a corporation as it was censorship.
![Alt text:
Screenshot of a news excerpt. It reads:
"On August 19, 2025, Nexstar announced its intent to acquire Tegna for $6.2 billion; the acquisition would give it 265 stations in total, serving 80% of U.S. television households. In an interview with CNBC, Sook stated that the purchase was a move to '[play] offense and defense to maintain a vital industry for America and a vital resource for information,' and place Nexstar 'on a level playing field with Big Tech' in a 'fragmented and rapidly evolving marketplace.' Sook stated that in the 35 markets where this would create duopolies, Nexstar planned to keep station operations 'autonomous.' The agreement comes ahead of a possible loosening of FCC ownership limits by the second Trump administration."
The words “CNBC,” “Big Tech,” and “second Trump administration” are hyperlinked. There is a reference marker [127] at the end.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sefgphqp2xqwh2hawaixykwz/bafkreihh3lzxvpnpkfjybetksjea24way2f2ulvn3z3m4orudvbdtfmxem@jpeg)

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one:
"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."
On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

President Trump openly admitted he wants to end mail-in voting to keep Democrats out of office: “If you [don’t] have mail-in voting, you’re not gonna have many Democrats get elected. That’s bigger than anything having to do with redistricting, believe me.”

I asked a retired Oxford historian about the most catastrophic historical event in his lifetime; he said Munich. He then added that the election of Donald Trump in 2024 will be even worse.
I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

President Trump didn't like the jobs numbers, so he fired the person responsible for producing them.
It's a move that has been tried before, by leaders of countries from Argentina to Greece to the Soviet Union. It rarely ends well.

Ah, yes, the traditional constitutional standard: protests that are deemed reasonable by the president don’t have to worry about federal prosecution.
Trump: "I think people are allowed to protest. You have to do it in a reasonable manner. Not necessarily friendly, but reasonable. Otherwise Pam will come after you and you will have a big problem."
