Democrats will now control the House and Senate and be able to hold Trump accountable. That's great.
At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, we must do more. We must aggressively fight for working families.
No more excuses.
Everyone NEEDS to spend 5 Minutes listening to this clip tonight of Obama Talking about Trump's Reaction to his Cheesecake Factory comment.
It's not only hilarious, but so true.
Every American needs to watch this.
You screaming “JESUS JESUS JESUS” on stage but when it’s time to put your faith to work and do what Jesus would do you’re on mute. This performative Christianity is ridiculous
BREAKING: A new video is released by Georgia Fort of the moment when Trump's agents showed up at her door to arrest her.
Fort is an independent Twin Cities journalist. She was arrested filming and reporting on a protest at a St. Paul church.
Fort had already been arrested once before by federal agents for covering the same protest.
This is Trump’s America.
Like Don Lemon, Georgia Fort was arrested for journalism. When the federal government starts arresting reporters simply for documenting events of public concern, it sends a chilling message to every journalist in this country.
The First Amendment does not belong to Donald Trump or his administration. It exists to protect the press, to hold power accountable, and to ensure the public knows what is being done in its name. Arresting journalists for reporting is authoritarian behavior and we must call it out every time it happens.
BREAKING: Don Lemon was just arrested by the Trump DOJ. Trump is treading all over Americans’ rights!
STATEMENT FROM ABBE LOWELL,
ATTORNEY FOR DON LEMON:
Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards. Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done. The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable. There is no more important time for people like Don to be doing this work.
Instead of investigating the federal agents who killed two peaceful Minnesota protesters, the Trump Justice Department is devoting its time, attention and resources to this arrest, and that is the real indictment of wrongdoing in this case. This unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing this administration will not stand. Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court.
Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.
As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.
Alex and tens of thousands of Minnesotans have boldly defended their neighbors against the murderous occupation of an American city by the federal government. I am enraged and heartbroken for Alex, his family, Minneapolis, and America.
On the 6 month anniversary of the LA wildfires Donald Trump decided to send troops on horseback to round people up on soccer fields instead of delivering what LA actually needs — the emergency aid that he continues to play games with.
What a disgrace.
I watched this vote fall apart in real time.
We all did.
They didn’t have the numbers.
The floor was in chaos.
Defections were public.
But in the end?
They caved.
Not because the bill got better.
Not because the math changed.
But because pressure, power, and backroom deals won out over principle.
