Fernández: He refused to read the bill he wrote. They are so ashamed of it, they couldn’t even read it aloud—because they know it’s shameful to give tax breaks to tanning beds and take away hospital beds. Who likes tanning beds? There’s a certain personality who has a very orange hue about him.

BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers. They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.

ZELDIN: I understand you're an aspiring fiction writer. I see why. SCHIFF: I understand your view that you can cut half of the agency and it won't affect people's health or their water or their air. That to me is a big fiction ... you could give a rat's ass about how much cancer your agency causes

RFK Jr says only “the sick children should die of measles” Dr Oz says Medicaid isn’t “getting its money’s worth” Now they’re targeting Medicaid, the program which insures disabled & poor children. They want you to believe it’s our fault so you won’t fight back when they eliminate us

I’m struggling trying to comprehend why MSM is so set on covering fPOTUS age/new Cancer diagnosis 24/7 (“how long was this known/covered up”) rather than this catastrophic “big, beautiful” budget bill cutting Medicaid, substance abuse treatment etc, for millions of Americans in need. We are LOST.

When traitors who bludgeoned cops and smeared feces in the halls of Congress are hailed as heroes, and when the family of one of those traitors gets $5 million from taxpayers, it’s vital for actual patriots to remember: YOU’RE NOT CRAZY – THEY ARE.

I remember after the “election” I started questioning the complete ABSENCE of ANY appropriate DEM response. People kept saying, “they’re probably meeting secretly & coming up with lawsuits & a plan”. It’s been SIX MONTHS. Not a SINGLE lawsuit. Not a SINGLE plan. There is NO EXCUSE. NONE.

It is unconscionable to hurt the lowest earners by destroying Medicaid to give the highest earners another tax handout. Call your member of Congress at 202-224-3121 and demand “NO CUTS to Medicaid!”

Since Trump’s mouthpiece Karoline Leavitt just lied that it won’t increase the deficit, here’s Republican Sen. Ron Johnson saying “This will increase the deficit by $4 TRILLION” and “absolutely” cut Medicaid. They lie as easily as they breathe. Not that anyone is surprised.
