Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

“ICE” bounty hunters made this possible. By making it easy to cosplay as federal agents: masked faces, no visible ID, no official vehicles, and gear that any yahoo can buy on Amazon. They look like criminals! 🚨 Man arrested who pretended to be an ICE agent while committing a robbery in Houston.

My heart is breaking in ways I didn’t know were possible—but I’m holding onto outrage. Two U.S. teens were dragged from their home in SoCal as federal agents shattered windows, hurled flashbangs, & took their parents. This is cruelty. This is terrorism. And it’s happening on our soil. F*ck ICE.

Seven years ago, Pauline Shanks Kaurin left a good job as a tenured professor, uprooted her family, and moved to teach military ethics at the Naval War College. Now she's leaving in protest of policies she can't support and that make her job impossible. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

"We're all going to die." "They'll get over it." If Democrats don't use these glib Republican dismissals of Americans' concerns to Medicaid cuts in Midterm ads, they will deserve to lose.

Will voters just“get over it”? Mitch McConnell coldly told fellow Republicans not to worry about “hearing from people back home (outraged) about Medicaid. They’ll get over it.” Are ya sure voters will get over watching people die from Republican Medicaid cuts Mitch? Karma is coming #ProudBlue

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they knew was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

It’s always the person without combat experience that's the first to suggest dropping a bomb. We must do everything we can to de-escalate the situation in Iran to protect our troops in the Middle East.

He does this all the time when he speaks. He always says “men” or “boys” when referring to troops. And despite the fact that he made many statements hostile to women serving for years, people like Joni Ernst said they believed that he changed his ways.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Ted Cruz "hates communists" because Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who was not a communist, imprisoned and tortured Cruz's father for helping Fidel Castro, who was a communist and who freed Cruz's father from the non-communist prison. Proving, once again, that Cruz speaks absolute rubbish.
