The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

Got nothing to add to the expert commentary on SCOTUS. But: it’s one more iteration of a common phenomenon of this time: people with immense power seeming to live in a different reality over those they rule.

No civilized nation should provide any support for Israel until the Netanyahu Administration is gone, the people responsible for its crimes in Gaza and elsewhere are held accountable, the policies are renounced, aid is flowing to those in need and a credible path to a two state solution is under way

New in PN: Trump's secret police are terrorizing American streets "The scenes of aggressive, masked agents roughing people up are reminiscent of the world’s most authoritarian regimes, where police and the military act with impunity against citizens."

Trump promised to lower costs. Instead, he gutted the consumer watchdog agency and helped big banks rip off Americans by an added $18 billion in fees and unchecked rip-offs. Trump’s Gangster State serves anyone who can line his pockets and sticks it to the people.

The American people strongly disapprove of the GOP’s one big ugly bill. It turns out that ripping healthcare away from millions of Americans is not that popular. #ProtectOurCare

How does this make any sense at all? Trump has proposed helping Iran access up to $30 billion for a civilian nuclear program, easing sanctions, and unfreezing $6 billion in Iranian funds — all to revive nuclear talks.

Brett Meiselas: Criticizing that government, criticizing Netanyahu, criticizing what's happening in Gaza does not make you anti-Semitic… just like criticizing Donald Trump does not make you anti-American.

BREAKING: Chris Murphy just blew the lid off a GOP budget scam. Republicans are looting Medicaid to create a bailout slush fund—for their states only. Hospitals in blue states? Left to rot. If you didn’t vote for them, you don’t get to live.

The issue isn't that Hegseth has been wrong on almost every issue related to the USAF he's ever spoken on, it's that there are two things one can't be and run DoD effectively—a liar and unprofessional—and Hegseth is both. We can debate stupid ideas from a DoD Secretary, but we're not even there yet.

It is disgusting seeing human beings being mishandled by men in masks who do not even have the simple decency of introducing who they are, nor reading anyone their Miranda rights or any right for that matter. I think this is worse than Gestapo WWII Nazi treatment.

A pregnant woman in Liberia died from hemorrhaging because there was no gasoline to fuel the ambulance that could take her to the hospital to save her life. So she died from lack of funds from USAID for one gallon of gas. FOR THE GOP, THE PRICE OF A GALLON OF GAS IS BETTER SPENT ON THE RICH.

So, we can afford to give Meta 15 BILLION in tax breaks, but we can't afford Medicaid? Make it make sense. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) calls it out loud and clear. The MAGA-GOP budget reconciliation bill is cutting social support in order to fund tax breaks for the richest #MedicaidSavesOurLives

The US already has a shamefully high maternal mortality rate, and that rate is more than twice as high for black women than US women as a whole. If the MAGA-GOP were really a pro-life party, they'd care about that. www.commonwealthfund.org/publications...

Republicans are talking about firing the Parliamentarian. In 2001, Trent Lott, the GOP Senate Majority Leader, fired the Parliamentarian because he ruled that certain GOP tax provisions couldn’t go through budget reconciliation. Republicans are the only ones to ever fire a Parliamentarian.

You’ve seen this movie before: Maybe Reagan guessed, Bush hoped, and Trump tried—but tax cuts never paid for themselves. Given the mountain of evidence, claiming once again that "tax cuts will pay for themselves" is no longer ideologically motivated optimism. It's a lie.

Gutting Medicaid will gut rural communities. For rural hospitals, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Closures will come. We’ve seen it before in states that blocked Medicaid expansion. Hospitals shut down & never come back. Listen to Jon Tester. He’s not guessing. He’s warning‼️ #MedicaidSavesOurLives
