They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

In the White House's tweets claiming they debunked Yamiche Alcindor, they falsely claim that Trump's video showed a "burial ground" and then point to an AP photo of a different monument -- that also isn't a burial site -- that the video didn't feature.

A HAPPY UPDATE! Mahmoud Khalil was allowed a "contact" visit—without plexiglass divider—with his wife and newborn son this morning before his immigration hearing, ACLU tells me, so I think we can safely assume that he was finally able to hold his child for the first time.

Cannot be said loudly or often enough: the bill House Rs are considering passing tomorrow would rip health insurance and food assistance from millions, leaving the poorest households worse off - to partially pay for tax cuts that most help the richest - while increasing the deficit by trillions.

Yes, the GOP budget guts Medicaid, SNAP and gives more tax breaks to the mega-rich — but it also: - Lets Big Oil buy public land to drill - 10 year ban on state AI regulations - Tax break on gun silencers - Restricts funding to nonprofits - Defunds women's health organizations
