Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

JD Vance on Trumpcare in 2017: "What is it that's going to drive Trump's voter away from him? Well, losing their health care may actually be the answer to that question." Mission accomplished.

The Constitution says that Congress must approve gifts to the president and his family from foreign potentates, but apparently the Constitution is mostly decorative these days.

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

Tesla now accepts Cybertruck trade-ins, and the official resale loss is $35k over just 6,000 miles. I repeat: according to Tesla itself a Cybertruck loses $5.60 cents per mile, not counting the cost of electricity, tires, etc. Unprecedented levels of flop! www.torquenews.com/11826/tesla-...

On Jan 6, officers like Sgt. Gonell and Ofc. Hodges defended our democracy with their lives. Over two years later, a Republican controlled Congress has failed to honor their heroism and courage. “Back the Blue” isn’t a slogan. It’s a deed. We won’t stop until justice and truth are enshrined.
