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.

This is outrageous, and we need answers.
If this is how the Trump administration treated a United States senator while the cameras are on, ask yourself: what will they do to ordinary people?

The escalation is a *function* of the unpopularity. A president in the first few months of their term should be able to get their policy priorities through normal legislative means rather than by sending armed troops to quell protest.
Early post-immigration escalation polling ugly for Trump:
Immigration approval
37%-52% (-15) WaPo
43%-54% (-11) Quinnipiac (Q)
Deportations
39%-50% (-11) YouGov
40%-56% (-16) Q
Overall approval
43%-52% (-9) Econ/YouGov
40%-53% (-13) YouGov
38%-54% (-16) Q
Budget Bill
30%-50% (-20) Econ/YG

In half of the country, the people who keep our cities and towns running are banned from collectively bargaining for a good union contract. The Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act is how we fight back.
Glad to be here today for its reintroduction in Congress.

Know what’s not masculine? Lying that society is telling you to not drink a beer or tell jokes with your friends.
JD Vance: "Our culture sends a message to young men that you should suppress every masculine urge ... my message to young men is don't allow this broken culture to send you a message that you're a bad person bc you're a man, bc you like to tell a joke, bc you like to have a beer with your friends."

We're in the midst of a constitutional crisis.
The world's richest man is effectively orchestrating a coup.
At the very least, Senate Dems should not be confirming any of Trump’s nominees for any agency while this power grab continues.
Nothing should be "business as usual."

It seems like an unelected, non-Senate-confirmed billionaire who recently gave a Nazi salute onstage is directing private citizens in a takeover of U.S. federal workers' personal information? Is this okay with everyone? What am I missing

Neither CNN nor MSNBC have said anything about the rapid tearing down of the U.S. government since I've had them on. 100% Potomac collision & yes, the families are mourning. You would expect them to be mourning. That is not breaking news
