He’s not gonna like this.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

BREAKING: A Federal judge has just ordered the return of an in air plane carrying deported migrants to South Sudan. The Judge says if they fail to comply, he will jail all officials and the pilot, for Contempt of Court.

Here’s an idea: Stop acting like the Gestapo.

We were part of a large-scale effort to help a group of Shelties with compassion and a shared focus. Gratitude to our volunteers & the Lochland Shetland Sheepdog Club who were onsite to evaluate, vet & prep for travel, and all the receiving rescues. Read more: triangleshelties.com/features/202...

Laugh of the Day!

Federal judge dresses down Alina Habba: "Your role is not to secure convictions at all costs, nor to satisfy public clamor, nor to advance political agendas. Your allegiance is to the impartial application of the law, to the pursuit of truth and to the upholding of due process for all."

The current Oval Office occupant will be gone at some point, and there's no one on the horizon with his charisma or influence. Two questions remain.. How much damage will be done? What kind of consequences for his enablers? Don't know the first answer. Don't ever let his enablers off the hook.

Tariffs were NEVER going to “bring manufacturing back to the US.” There are many reasons, including: •Even with tariffs, US labor is prohibitively expensive •America’s supply chain isn’t ready •Most Americans don’t want to do manufacturing jobs •Not enough unemployed workers to fill new factories

Katherine Clark: "At the end of the day, it is denial of healthcare for women in this country. And at the same time, we have a White House lamenting, 'Why aren't women having children? Maybe we'll give them $5k' ... the American family is put last."

This method of deportation is unacceptable & inhumane, not to mention illegal, it has to be stopped! The Trump administration is deporting immigrants to countries they aren’t from & refusing to tell judges where exactly, claiming that the information is classified. newrepublic.com/post/195545/...

I’m dead.

come on doug!

NEW: 29 House Republicans represent districts that have received at least $2 billion in clean energy investment post Biden's IRA; another 18 have received at least $1 billion. Yet ALL are poised to slash the tax incentives creating those jobs. #VoteThemOut

The cuts to US health and humanitarian work abroad will have untold human costs, including among the people who have dedicated their careers to making the world a safer, healthier place. Each of them has a story. Here’s one. Who else has one to share?

On this day in 1881, Clara Barton, a nurse, educator, and fearless humanitarian, founded the American Red Cross. 143 years later, with the Trump administration gutting FEMA, NOAA, AmeriCorps, and CERT, Americans are left more vulnerable than ever to disaster and crisis. 1/2

I am truly old enough to remember when respecting your neighbors, offering goodwill, common decency and manners, and showing kindness towards others was the way of life. May goodness prevail.

Trump is gutting Voice of America — the same tool that helped us win the Cold War — and replacing it with propaganda from OAN. He’s not defending America. He’s building his brand. And he’s making us vulnerable to real enemies. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/killing-th...

Has the felon expressed any sympathy or help yet? Anyone?

📌OK, that's ENOUGH. 📌This puppy-killing lunatic, who doesn't belong within six miles of anything outside her pathetic, lowly life, didn't "misstate" anything. It's clear as day she doesn't KNOW what habeas corpus even MEANS. 📌SAY THAT, and STOP bailing these morons out, media. They are dangerous.

Holding a hearing at 1:00 AM? What is it? They’re hiding? Good opportunity for us to all set our alarms and get up for a little midnight popcorn & airing of the truth.

Don't miss the scariest committee hearing of the year.

Dear press: Why do questions of mental acuity activate only with the prior but not the current administration? Asking for a nation.
