Russia is the enemy of the US and Europe. Also, our children in the US need the Dept. of Ed. and Medicaid. US citizens need Medicare and Social Security. These are rites we have as US citizens. The top "1%" owe their power/wealth to the US for providing the opportunity.

Work has had me completely occupied recently, but the Trump regime has continued on the trajectory that we anticipated. They are attempting a complete take-over to end our democracy. As some patriotic protestors have said: Our children are still in the house. Stop trying to burn it down!!!

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 800,000+ federal and D.C. workers (i.e. people directly impacted by a government shutdown), is urging senators to vote no on the House GOP's CR. In other words, AFGE is saying a government shutdown is less bad than this GOP bill.

@maddow.msnbc.com Great show as always! When presenting polling numbers, you present colored bars. Could those bars represent the numbers like a histogram? It seems like a missed opportunity as so much public opinion is really strikingly against the Trump Admin policies.

I saw “this is not normal” signs at Trump’s speech to joint session of Congress, but Dems holding them don’t understand what it means. Otherwise, they would have been thrown out with Al Green. The destruction of our government and Constitution is “not normal,” so normal “decorum” does not apply!

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip: He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress. He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession. He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law. Keep fighting.

Trump admin could do better job at downsizing if they valued a functional government. Outright destruction is apparent goal. Question is, why give up so easily? Could Project2025 just be another diversion from main goal of tax break for rich at expense of social security, Medicare/caid. Deplorable

"Members are getting disruptful" said Speaker Johnson. The first Democrat was booted out of the joint session of Congress for calling out Trump lies. It took less than 10 minutes. Hopefully, Trump won't be able to finish his speech, or every last Democrat has to be dragged out.

While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists. So much for "drain the swamp."

Trump has canceled Biden's ethics rules. Critics call it the opposite of 'drain the swamp'
Donald Trump took office eight years ago pledging to “drain the swamp” of the dominance of Washington influence peddlers.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.
