Re: Trump Bans CNN, MS NOW and Politico From the White House "Effective Immediately," Saying They "Shouldn't Be Able to Constantly Write or Report FICTION and LIES" — the Next Morning the Secret Service Takes Their Reporters' Passes, and Chuck Schumer Says "Donald Trump Just Did What Dictators Throughout History Have Done"
“

This is yet another attack on the First Amendment from a president who knows he and his party of bootlickers are deeply unpopular. … Donald Trump can't hide from his failing record, so he's banning journalists he doesn't like to keep you from hearing about it.

Re: Trump Convenes the First Midterm Convention in Modern History and at Least 45 House Republicans Say They Are Not Coming — the Ticket Is $25,000, the Nickname Is "Trumpapalooza," and the Vice President's Answer Is "We Don't Need a Congressman in a Tight Race to Be There"
“

Republicans know that they can't win on the merits of their unpopular policies, so they're working to rig the 2026 election. It's a disgraceful attack on Black and Hispanic citizens and civil rights activists who shed their blood, and others who lost their lives, to secure our right to vote.

This bizarre Republican midterm convention here can't paper over the fact that Republicans have done nothing to earn your vote. … In this moment, when America needs a new generation of leaders, fighters willing to stand up against tyranny, Texas Democrats have stepped into the breach.

Re: Tyson Shuts Its Joslin Beef Plant With No Warning and 2,500 Union Workers Find Out at the Start of Their Shift — Illinois Democrats Call It Devastating While Republicans Blame the State
“

It’s a tragedy that was caused by the very high cost of beef across the country. You saw that they unfortunately closed not just that facility, but one in Utah. They’re selling off one in Washington. This is really terrible for the people who live in Joslin. We’re doing everything that we can to lift them up.
