The President is calling for the arrest of Democrat lawmakers for a PSA to our military about unlawful orders. He thinks it's treason. Stephen Miller was ranting like a madman while claiming that it's an act of insurrection.
To the President and to Stephen Miller, I say: Quiet, piggy. 🐷🐷🐷

Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi.
But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile.
Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open.
Cretin behavior.

It shouldn’t take women holding up pictures of themselves when they were 20, 16, 14 yrs old for this country to understand that they were preyed upon by the the wealthiest & most well connected. That they were victims of horrific sex trafficking & abuse. If we believed women-we wouldn’t need a list.

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

Northern lights in Springfield, MO. Even with light pollution, one could see a pink tinge in the sky with the naked eye. The phone camera set on 'night sight' picked up the color better. #northernlights

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Tensions around the shutdown were inevitably going to increase along with the pain. Now we’re seeing cracks in both the GOP and the Dem walls, with the worst pressure points still to come. My write-up, and what we can do about it, in the replies.

"For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There's no way we can meet that gap. There's no way we can replace every single one of those meals. It is not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this."

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

It will never cease to amaze me that a third of the country thinks the guy who lies constantly about literally everything is the only person they can count on to tell them the truth.
The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.

One of the hallmarks of this administration is firing people. Don't be fooled: shutdown or not they will happily, gleefully fire people. #Shutdown

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives.
He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.
