Putting aside Mike Johnson's blatant abuse of the 1st Amendment Yesterday, GOP Congressman Brett Guthrie Chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee Admitted that Republicans will try to cut $500-600 billion from Medicaid Which would effectively gut the entire program
Johnson: "Do not believe the lies the Democrat Party has said. We had their ads taken down. They were running ads around the country in swing districts trying to convince people Republicans are going to 'gut Medicaid.' It's just simply not true & that's why their ads & billboards had to come down"

Thank you, Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov, for your advocacy and diligence on Mr. Garcia's behalf. If the Trump administration can do this to an innocent man, they can do the same to the rest of us. Citizens, beware.
I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia. The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.
@maddow.msnbc.com I know you agreed to the first 100 days. But you are so essential now. Can you stay? Please?

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Great explainer on the negative impact of tariffs on businesses—not just clothing- fabric, notions (like buttons, string, zippers, and ribbon), but everything that involves tangible goods: restaurants, furniture - material, wood, buttons, plastics, plastics used in packaging and medical supplies.

Thank you to @booker.senate.gov for giving voice to our stories! USAID community members met with Senator Booker’s staff last week and shared personal impact stories, which he read in full during his marathon speech! He stressed USAID’s critical role in national security.
@schumer.senate.gov We are not doing politics as usual. And if you dont understand, resign. Forget norms. Forget fair play. Gloves off time to fight

Trump and Musk have cut vital programs at the VA, leaving many veterans in crisis abandoned. Our veterans answered the call, but now nobody will answer theirs.

@repmoskowitz.bsky.social What were you thinking voting for Rep Al Green’s censure? Wrong! You all should have joined him! At least he had the b*lls to stand up to Trump. Do better!

A THREAD 🧵 by Dr. Craig Spencer, @craigspencer.bsky.social about the Trump administration's (and Elon's) failures and lies about the ebola prevention program. 👀 #CDC #USAID
Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it. They did it for PEPFAR. Now Ebola. I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧵

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."
