When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate."
When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video.
He's a tyrant.

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Unf*ckingbelievable.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

The federal criminal justice system is being systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by piece and turned into a mob boss’s network of corrupt consiglieres and thugs, where good people simply doing their jobs are rooted out and eradicated.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.
12 days of work in over 3 months.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

I could not be prouder that my law firm is currently litigating 60 voting, election and redistricting cases in 30 states. Even as large law firms bow down, we continue to fight for democracy every single day.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Today, Trump's trying to make us comfortable with masked agents on the streets.
Tomorrow, Trump's looking to leverage this power, take advantage of our elections, and scare voters away.
We must call this what it is: a power grab that echoes the rise of authoritarian regimes.
