Be extra quiet in these states at Saturday's protest. Imagine the news video of no noise coming from the protesters, the only noise being the racking of bullets in the guns of the national guard and ICE. Stage it for the cameras like republicans do.

Jeffries: "It's shameful that Grijalva has not been sworn in because Johnson & House Republicans apparently want to continue to hide the Epstein files. It's my expectation if she is not sworn in today during the pro forma session, as the AZ AG has made clear, expect swift & decisive legal action."

Jeffries: This is the second time it's been shut down under Donald Trump, and he's nowhere to be found. He's got time to be on the golf course, but apparently doesn't have time to sit down with Democrats to reopen the government.

Please understand that This is Trump regime explaining how they will use the government to prosecute Democrats. Page 1 of the fascist playbook is imprison political opponents so that the fascist has one party rule.

This is the President not only purporting to arrogate unto himself the ability to “take away free speech rights,” but also to do so for speech because it “aggravates and irritates.”
The bottom line is these people running our country are literally foreigners to the concept of democracy.

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.
2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.
3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."
