Again, my wife lost her excellent job at a nonprofit Seattle hospital because the trump administration simply stopped paying medicaid reimbursements at the beginning of the year, throwing it into complete financial turmoil the cuts are already here

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"

What she failed to mention is that this was 4 years ago and was only available on Amazon's Chinese site(s), so how does that have anything to do with current tariffs for US consumers? Am I missing something? www.reuters.com/world/china/...

reuters.comAmazon partnered with China propaganda armAmazon.com Inc was marketing a collection of President Xi Jinping's speeches and writings on its Chinese website about two years ago, when Beijing delivered an edict, according to two people familiar with the incident. The American e-commerce giant must stop allowing any customer ratings and reviews in China.

remember when papa johns was gonna start adding a .30 cent “obamacare” charge to their receipts?

It's infuriating that republicans Kristi Noem, Rep. Jason Smith and Rep. Riley Moore were allowed to have PHOTO OPS in CECOT, but Sen. Van Hollen was denied access for a legitimate welfare check!

Senator Chris Van Hollen@vanhollen.senate.gov

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted and is being held in a notorious prison in El Salvador — barred from contacting his family or lawyers. I’m speaking to the press now after we were denied access to the prison to check on his condition. Tune in:

Absolutely disgusting: “Autism destroys families, but more importantly it destroys our greatest resource which is our children,” he said. “And these are kids who will never pay taxes, they'll never hold a job, they'll never play baseball, they'll never write a poem. They'll never go out on a date.”

I am so tired of living in unprecedented times...

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

If the IRS deprives Harvard of its tax-exempt status, that's very bad for Harvard but it's also a catastrophe for the IRS. Instead of a neutral agency that enforces tax law, it will become a tool of partisan warfare. It may never recover.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

"...the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador taxpayer money to keep this person here despite the court orders." As a taxpayer, I never approved of my money being spent illegally to put immigrants in a foreign prison and forget about them! Thank you Sen. Van Hollen!

The many triumphed over the money in Wisconsin's Supreme Court election yesterday. Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford, to the people of Wisconsin, and to everyone fighting for a just and free America. Let's keep going.

This NEEDS to be seen/heard by everyone that voted republican! Listen to them when they "say" what they mean!

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.gov

Thanks Senator Cassidy for reminding America: When MAGA says it will “reform” Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, they mean they will “cut” Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Clearly time to “reform” MAGA.

We are plumbing new depths in the stupidity of rightwing spin. Did Hillary and Obama use Signal to obliviously text war plans to journalists, or nah?

Eric Williams reposted

As a young person learning about Nazi Germany, I always wondered how people could possibly be unaware of the cruelty happening to their neighbors. With the rise of MAGA, I now recognize the psychological toll of reality on people. Good friends don't pay attention because it's just too difficult.

Obviously, Jeffrey Goldberg has the texts that Hegseth claims that he doesn’t have. The Senate or House Armed Services Chairs can easily and quickly verify who is lying about this. If Hegseth blatant lied about this on camera tonight, how in the world can he continue in this job?
