I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.

F that!

"Is President Trump lying?"

Maria Farmer:

"Yes he's lying..... so Epstein escorts Trump into this other room and Trump utters under his breath, he mutters, 'Oh, I thought she was 16'"

Rep. Horsford (D-NV) introduced an amendment that would have redirected $40 BILLION from the Argentina bailout to fund Americans’ ACA subsidies for two years.

Republicans blocked it.

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Everything would be cheaper if Trump had lost. Economy stronger. Institutions still standing. Millions still working. Dollar worth a dollar. Gold down 75%. Government open. Planes flying. Allies still with us. Farms alive. Power bills lower.
He wrecked it all in 9 months except doubling his wealth.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.

Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.

Don’t forget this.

The President is so out of touch that he thinks that Thanksgiving prices are “down” because Walmart created a meal kit with fewer items and cheaper ingredients. That’s not prices decreasing, that’s a corporation running a marketing promo. One loss leader from a corp. isn’t data.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

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.

NEW: Judge Gettleman just ordered ICE to improve "serious conditions" inside its Broadview facility in Chicago.

Yesterday, people testified in court that they were crammed into overcrowded and filthy cells for days, with little access to lawyers, and pressured into deportation.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.
