What do I know and I'm not saying it's a magic bullet or anything like that but it sure seems to me that Dems should run hard on the Argentina bailout. Not anywhere near the worst thing Trump has done, but i suspect it's unusually clarifying.
Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.

Every single DC journalist should be spending this afternoon/evening finding Speaker Johnson & John Thune & asking them why the impeachment/removal has not happened yet, & continuing to hammer them with the same question over & over & over & over again & not accepting the boilerplate non-answers.
The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

Shouldn't the shutdown argument incl not just reinstating Medicaid/all healthcare cuts but this: why should taxpayers fund a govt that slashes agencies that serve consumers (CFPB, food safety, CDC, DOE etc), and cuts funding Congress has approved? @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

We shall see if one of the most unpopular presidents in American history who is presiding over an economy he’s trying to wreck and the poisoning of our diplomatic relations can consolidate a dictatorship. I’m pretty skeptical he has the juice, especially in his decayed state.

Jimmy Kimmel has a LOT of powerful Hollywood friends and is very well liked in the industry.
Here's a test for all of them.
Will they stand up for Jimmy and finally speak out against Trump and MAGA's fascist march?
Or will they both sides it?

ABC immediately caves to tiniest bit of gov’t pressure. If you don’t defend basic free speech rights, you’ll lose them. Simple as that.
Gov’t hasn’t just threatened us at media matters, they’ve actually used power against us. We don’t fold, we fight in court. If we can, ABC has no excuse
