First things Dems in the House should do: vote to restore the subsidies for ACA accounts and get rid of the cuts to Medicaid & SNAP. On Day One.

things are about to get very, very, very bad.
More from MS NOW: President Trump plans to deliver a Thursday evening speech addressing newly declassified intelligence reports that the White House asserts reveal plans by foreign nations to interfere in the 2020 election, according to two White House officials granted anonymity to discuss internal plans. @jake__traylor

Jack Smith: I'll give you an example from from my life. I resigned as special counsel. I know I need to get a lawyer because the president has said he wants to jail me for doing my job. And so I retain lawyers, as soon as that becomes public, the president and the justice department target that law firm, and they do it because they don't want me to have counsel. They don't want to have anyone represent me…

It’s important that you understand what happened last night.
Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.
In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.
CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”
In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.
But censorship always backfires.
Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

.@PamBondi just threatened to kill more Americans if @realDonaldTrump's political opponents don’t turn over their voter data.
Have you Republicans no shred of shame?

Show me the part of the Second Amendment that says if you have a license ot carry you must wear a red hat when you do, and if you don't they can shoot you dead after they take it away from you.

To be clear about what this depicts: An immigration officer threw a woman onto the ground. Alex Pretti, a registered nurse on scene as a legal observer, is filming and goes to help the woman up. He is then pepper sprayed and thrown to the ground for no discernible reason. Many officer surround and assault him; one removes his firearm, which police say appears to have been legally registered. They then execute him with a hail of bullets.
They are, objectively speaking, both cowards and criminals, while Pretti is what we teach people an American ought to be.

It appears from zooming in just moments before ICE/CBP shoot yet another US citizen, one agent removes the victims firearm from his waste holster.
The victim was UNARMED when he was shot multiple times.
This is a state execution. Again.

The same administration that venerates Kyle Rittenhouse, who showed up at a protest like this:
At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, seen here.
The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming.
Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots. Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID—this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.
About 200 rioters arrived at the scene and began to obstruct and assault law enforcement on the scene, crowd control measures were deployed for the safety of the public and law enforcement.
This situation is evolving, and more information is forthcoming.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
the man can be seen holding a phone and approaching a woman who was shoved, when an officer throws him to the ground. at no point is the man seen approaching officers while holding a gun.

5 years detached from the day he helped barricade the U.S House Chamber at the Capitol fearing for his life…he ONLY escaped because our actions (the officers). We risked our lives protecting him. He has no integrity, moral conviction or honor. I guess the fear of losing an election is greater than doing the right thing which is why the GOP defends the indefensible.

This essay by @EliotACohen ought to be anthologized. Trump's renaming of the Kennedy Center is the impetus of it. But the essay is both broad and deep. theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1…
