This regime is despicable. All Americans will suffer, but mostly women. The Seneca Project is so important for just that reason.

P.S., California is a sanctuary STATE. The voters overwhelmingly declared this several years ago.

I guess all Nazis are liars, so maybe it's redundant to accuse him of that...but NONE of his accusations are true except that we are a sanctuary state. Same old Republican lies.

California voters already declared the state a sanctuary state several years ago. California Republicans are now disingenuously claiming our Democratic lawmakers caused the current problems. I call BS - the vote was decisive, and all California voters were entitled to participate.

I've heard the cuts don't kick in until 2029 (when I hope we're back in power). So, if that's true, until those cuts kick in (if they ever do- stand strong, Chris), please repeat and repeat and repeat that the blame belongs to Republicans.

It seems we can do little to stop this...but let's STOP referring to it as Trump's birthday bash and over-emphasize that the only reason we tolerate this is because it's the 250th anniversary of our military.

How can we help fight this with you? Not just in Alaska, but in every U.S. National Park. This is just wrong. Our efforts need to be put toward renewable, not decimating our sacred lands and pristine forests.

Confession: I have not read the MAGA Murder Bill. However, I've heard that the Medicaid cuts won't happen until 2029. Can that be verified, please? If there is such a delay, then won't most people have forgotten who caused the pain by that time rather than believe the Repugs were lying?

Anand Giridharadas cited a Boston University report that at least 300,000 people have died this year as a direct result of DOGE decimation of USAID. This was a Trump directive. But since nobody holds Trump responsible, I'm not holding my breath that his attack DOGE will be held accountable. Yet.

Marisa, think of it as an honor that the noble taco is being used to diminish a dictator wannabe!

What a lively, passionate, and knowledgeable team you have formed! My 2-yr-old cat Frosty keeps me company as I absorb the contents of your shows!

Thank you, Sam. Even if your Republican colleagues aren't listening, your constituents (like me) know you're in there fighting for us...all of us, regardless of party affiliation. Keep telling the truth. Keep being brave.

And protect alternative-energy investments by the U.S. Government. Let's stop subsidizing oil and gas instead!

I used to recommend Americans watch BBC for the real US news, if they didn't trust any American channel. Guess I'll have to find a new neutral source. Shame.

Prediction: He will line his pockets, build his castles there, ruin America (already started), then abscond to live in the Middle East in splendor so he can't be put on trial.
