Trump Keeps Attacking Americans. Why Does He Get Away With It?
Republicans can insult half the country without consequence. Democrats say “deplorables” once and never hear the end of it.

Jeffries: "Donald Trump's strategy during this government shutdown that he has created has been to play golf and issue deep fake videos. Mike Johnson's strategy is to keep House Republicans on vacation."

Well well well. The Supreme Court, 6 to 3, has sold out everyone in the Social Security system by giving Doge full access to all of our data. There is no rational justification for their data mining. NONE. I cannot believe I once put my faith in the Supremes. Fool me once, you corrupt cowards.

Hey #CNN , scared of the Mob Boss in Chief? Yeah, we all thought so, which is why we watch lots of other shows over yours these days. #MeidasTouch
I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president.
Shame.
Shame.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.
Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

It is time for all Republicans in Congress to step down.
The Deafening Sound Of Silence
The silence outlined in Heather’s letter today especially from Republicans displays the fragility of decency and integrity for people in power.
Their silence on defending the constitution is a betrayal.
Their silence on corruption is the sound of surrender.

Tariffs are taxation without representation. We wrote a whole Declaration of Independence about it. Threw tea in the harbor and everything.

Democrats can’t continue to lose the trust of voters in most parts of the country.
People overwhelmingly support our policies. But they don't think we see, hear, or respect them.
Re-earning trust starts with showing up, listening, and being real with folks.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.
I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

Just thinking about the two approaches to media. There’s the Fox fake news/maga way then there’s everyone else’s, aka the educated adult, way. Fox is loud and bold and uses short sound bites that are easy to digest and regurgitate. The left’s collective messaging is of long passages of text 1/2

Sorry, we promised not to post much today but we had to make a special callout. We forgot to give a proper shoutout to a few places yesterday. Denver and Dallas Fort Worth, you broke records. You were incredible.
