A mother caring for her disabled adult daughter. A young woman turning her life around with an opioid treatment program. These are just some of the Americans who would lose health care if Republicans pass their proposed budget gutting Medicaid. abc7.com/post/republi...

Attorney General Pam Bondi says it's legal for Trump to accept a luxury jumbo jet from Qatar. Here's the kicker: Just five years ago, Bondi earned $115,000 a month as a registered lobbyist for the government of Qatar. Nothing to see here, folks!

The disastrous Republican reconciliation bill would cut Medicaid & the Affordable Care Act by $715 billion – throwing 13.7 million Americans off of Medicaid & the health insurance they currently have – in order to give a $1.2 trillion tax break to the top 1%. It must be defeated.

Missing from most history books is a key moment in America’s culture wars. It took place on this day in 1970 and later came to be known as the "Hard Hat Riot." The tactics used by Nixon to stoke division then are strikingly similar to those used by today's culture warriors.

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion. Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts. And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B. We're losing vital government services (that are efficient!) for basically nothing in return.

Trump may not know whether he has to uphold the Constitution during his presidency, but hundreds of Vermont lawyers do know. I congratulate them, and thousands of lawyers throughout the country, who are fighting to uphold American democracy and the rule of law.

Trump is threatening to revoke Harvard’s tax exempt status because the university refused to cave to his demands. Why is he so hell-bent on attacking universities? Because an educated and informed citizenry has always been the biggest threat to a dictator's power.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action. She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound. This is what bans do.
