BREAKING:
Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public.
In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.

I know! Let’s raise tariffs and healthcare costs, too! That should help make things affordable! 🙄

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.
Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Trump threatens to permanently cut jobs and people’s health care if a shutdown happens, making it clear only Democrats would actually care — then lies about “fraud/waste/abuse”

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.
Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

A president is only as good as his or her advisers and staff. The presidency is not a TV reality show, but our current admin has been staffed like it is one. The people in office must do what their director wants or "be fired" & the man at the top is more interested in theater than in real policy.
