Day 33 of the government shutdown

‘What on earth is he up to?’: Global leaders at Davos conference ‘fear a Trump slump’
Global leaders are worried about President Donald Trump after he abruptly canceled a trip to the World Economic Forum in the Davos, Switzerland. The president ended his trip in part because of the government shut down and moments after he canceled House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s overseas trip.


Trump is following the common beliefs of Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller. They want to destroy this country and pick up the spoils.

There are plenty of reports of struggling families, food bank lines and alarming safety compromises, yet somehow I feel like the media is struggling to convey the sheer scope of this insanity. - Schooley tweet
