WATCH: Marine vet Alejandro Barranco joins @chrislhayes.bsky.social after the violent beating and detainment of his immigrant father by masked agents. "My heart's broken. I love my country. I love my dad. I love my family, I love the community. It's hard. I do feel betrayed at times."

From the horse’s mouth: South Carolina will lose $20 BILLION in Medicaid funds if the reconciliation bill Lindsey Graham supports gets passed. Our state’s healthcare system is already struggling. This will be devastating.

REMINDER: Netanyahu convinced Trump in 2018 to withdraw US from Iran nuclear deal that Obama and allies had negotiated. That Deal would've prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. All the death and destruction we are seeing now is bc of Trump and Netanyahu www.timesofisrael.com/in-recording...

Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's book about President Biden, "Original Sin," is scheduled to be released on Tuesday. They should have some decency and postpone it. Now is not the time.

It’s 2 am and we’re still marking up massive cuts to Medicaid. While their constituents are asleep, Republicans are trying to take away health care from 13.7 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. They want you to tune out. Don’t ⬇️ x.com/i/broadcasts...

Somehow, Trump has declared that we’re under numerous national emergencies from the Southern Border Emergency to the Energy Emergency, Trade Emergency, Public Lands Emergency, and Immigration Enforcement Emergency. Yet these crises seem so “urgent” that he finds time to golf every weekend. Odd.

The is no limit to how much brutality the Trump admin is willing to allow Russia to get away with. They have never once condemned a single atrocity committed by Putin. Trump played golf while this happened and didn’t say a word about it.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

The fucker wasn't shot. What kind of shit oversight doesn't ask why Ronny Jackson is the only source of a medical report or why an ear hit with a bullet from a semi-automatic rifles doesn't leave a mark. Keep fearing him and we'll never get to the truth, journalists.

Real consequences to Trump. Dr. Marc Ruel, one of the world's top heart surgeons, was set to move from Ottawa to San Francisco this year. He backed out because of the political situation here and the mistreatment of Canada by Trump through tariffs and annexation www.kqed.org/news/1203279...

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance. Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.
