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.

Does RFKjr know anything?

Sen. Rosen to Rubio: "I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration's destruction of U.S. global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. I wonder if you're proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family?"

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

Read the fine print, this so-called gift from the Qatari government could cost taxpayers $1 billion to retrofit as Air Force One and take years, meaning Trump would use it as a citizen for his personal use. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

You guys see what Trump’s doing, right? YESTERDAY: “You better go out and buy stocks now! This country will be like a rocket ship!” TODAY: Tariffs on China should be cut to 80%. Market manipulation…

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?

To make matters worse, importers are leaving inventory in China ports. Waiting for tariffs to be lowered. If they are lowered enough, there will be a crush to ship them here and transport them when they get here. That will drive transportation costs way up. = More inflation, post tariffs

Crockett: I cannot wait until voters have an opportunity to say: You took food out of my mouth. You took a roof from over my head. You are responsible for making sure that I do not have health care. I'm going to make sure you don't have a job.

These headlines related to U.S. military aviation have all appeared in the last 11 days. There is a major problem at the Defense Department.

I’m not sure how Duffy can fix any of the issues with air travel when he’s on Fox 24/7 complaining about it and blaming other people. STFU for 5 minutes and do your job! This isn’t a reality TV show - people’s lives and livelihoods are in the hands of these unqualified dipshits.

Linda McMahon wrote Harvard a letter to which they responded by noting areas that are in need of corrections and then posted it on social media. Great job Harvard!👏👏👏

Buttigieg: Like I love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

More lowlights: the S&P 500 had its worst performance in the first 100 days of Trump in 50 years.

Swalwell: What are we doing here? What in this hearing achieves lowering costs for the American people? Do you know how far you’ve deviated from that goal? This is where you are: today, you will make it easier to deport more American citizen children with cancer.

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.

Truly worrisome.

As the federal govt considers “investigating” ActBlue, I can report that i sat through meeting where they literally patterned their version of it, called WinRed as identical. They even follow me (screenshot for when they unfollow in a panic soon:

No, @slotkin.senate.gov — Dems shouldn’t stop using the term “oligarchy”. They should make it a household term. And they should be wary of anyone telling them otherwise. People know what it means. And if they don’t, tell them. That’s what leaders do.

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen. She has been on a govt salary for years. Something aint right

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

Unemployment up. Stock market down. Mortgage rates up. Consumer confidence at worst levels since the Great Depression. Are we great again yet?

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky

I’M GOING TO KEEP POSTING THIS STORY UNTIL ANDRY IS FREED: Gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report Andry Hernandez Romero sought shelter in the U.S. because he was persecuted as a gay man, one of the "particular social groups" allowed to claim asylum.

The Trump administration lies that it does not have the ability to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home. Bullshit. The administration is PAYING the Salvadoran government to keep detainees at CECOT. Congress - or a Court - could order those payments to stop, immediately, right now.

Jon Stewart has a message for his Bluesky critics: 'My bad'

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

Turns out autocracy is bad for business

His name is Andry Hernandez Romero. He is a young professional from Venezuela. He is a makeup artist. He is a gay man. Andry was a target for abuse in his homeland of Venezuela. He was viciously humiliated daily — the victim of discrimination for his sexuality. He was also being persecuted for…
