Trump’s very stern 5th warning to Putin that he better agree to a ceasefire or else (he posted the first one in January) is really working well. Maybe if he makes another Truth Social post the 6th time will be a charm.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

Omg. This is horrifying. Congresswoman Kelly Morrison just revealed that Medicaid covers HALF of the kids in the United states, more than 40% of the births — and Republicans want it gone. The Republican funding bill impacts ALL OF US.

AOC: “The numbers don’t add up. $880 BILLION is a devastating cut to Medicaid, and an attack on Medicare. 42 million children-covered by Medicaid. 42% of births- covered by Medicaid. The Pro-Life regime doesn't care. It's as if they want to trip us up and blame us for falling.

We had a couple people who were supposed to miss, but they showed up. Today was the easy hurdle for MAGA Mike, and he struggled with that. Now they got to line-item the details - that’s when the real screaming and infighting begins.

Not American, and the 1st time I moved to the US in the early 2000s, my uncle would put football on (he was a die hard Michigan fan), and every time someone was tackled or fell hard I would flinch, because all I could see, as an epileptic, was the damage those kids were doing to their brains/bodies

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.
