Josh Hawley acted like he was going to fight the Medicaid cuts that will hurt many thousands in his state - most his voters in rural areas. Then he ran away.

Trump's budget includes massive cuts to vital programs in exchange for tax cuts skewed to the rich. It's so unpopular that the House GOP voted on it in the wee hours of the morning last month. Now, the Senate GOP is ramming it through over the weekend. They want to hide it.

Everything is a “redistribution of wealth” — the only question is which direction it’s heading in. Stop letting them convince you the only valid direction is from the bottom to the top. They’ve been selling that snake oil for decades.

Nothing like a little “creative accounting” to push a $3.3 trillion tax cut for the rich. Republicans are using an accounting gimmick to make it look like their tax plan doesn’t add to the deficit. Can’t pass it honestly? Just cook the books.

So what seems clear from the intel, is that we probably should have reloaded the B2s, and gone for a second round. Instead the impulsive toddler was desperate to have a strong ending to the movie and declare a cease fire. This is a show to him, entertainment, and he’s the “star”

In the end they will try to lock up every brown person in the country, whether they are a citizen or not. He will sign an executive order declaring himself president for life and the Supreme Court will uphold it 6-3. They will leave you no choice. They think so little of you.

Just a reminder of who Thom Tillis is: In 2013, as N.C. House Speaker, he passed a massive voter suppression law that was struck down because it targeted Black voters "with almost surgical precision.” In the Senate he voted against the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Right Act.

It’s 2AM on a Sunday and I’m heading to the Capitol to FORCE a full reading of the Republicans’ 940-page bill. This bill will rip health care coverage away from 16 million people and cut food assistance. It’s sick. And we will not stand for it.

And note, Trump says he can't be bothered even to make a phone call to express condolences... and he most likely was the stochastic source of this act of terrorism.

The same MAGA/GOP that gave us the Jan 6 terrorist attack, praised the J6 attackers as "patriots" and then cheered when Trump pardon these terrorists is claiming Zohran Mamdani supports terrorism simply because he is Muslim. In reality MAGA should already be designated a domestic terror threat!

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves. If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such. 🚨 Yesterday, an L.A. man was arrested for impersonating a federal agent. Loaded gun, fake documents, cop gear and even blinking & blue on his car
