A big step forward in the fight against Alzheimer’s: The FDA approved the first blood test to help diagnose the disease. Breakthroughs like this will make earlier, easier diagnosis possible—bringing us closer to better treatments and, someday, a cure.

Senate Republicans are fast-tracking the GENIUS Act, which would greenlight a financial system enabling the ultra-rich to exploit unstable crypto schemes. The rest of us will be left holding the bag. Every Senate Democrat must vote against Trump's corrupt crypto scam.

Pro Tip: If you are a news organization, best not to write headlines that mirror the designated state media channel. Blasting out Trump talking points with no fact or context is not journalism, it's propaganda. 1/

Forced-reset triggers make semiautomatic rifles fire more rapidly! President Biden made us safer by signing more gun safety executive actions than any other President & signing Bipartisan Safer Communities Act into law. Trump is arming more people w/ weapons of war for gun industry profits.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

Speaker Mike Johnson on the US credit downgrade: "Moody's is not incorrect, but that emphasizes the very need for the legislation we're talking about -- historic spending cuts." (Part of Moody's concern is in fact the reconciliation bill, which is projected to add trillions to US debt)

The Trump administration has struck a deal to allow sales of a trigger mechanism that allows a semiautomatic firearm to fire more rapidly, one of several actions recently taken by Attorney General Pam Bondi to quickly dismantle Biden-era gun regulations.

After Donald Trump spent the last year promising to fight for regular people, every single Republican voted against my amendment to close the carried interest loophole. They care more about appeasing billionaires and hedge fund managers than helping regular people.

"Tucked deep in the thousand-plus pages of the multitrillion-dollar budget bill making its way through the Republican-controlled U.S. House is a paragraph curtailing a court’s greatest tool for forcing the government to obey its rulings: the power to enforce contempt findings."

Even though Solicitor General Sauer has been raked over the coals, it’s hard to see who the fifth vote is to deny the government’s applications here. I didn’t hear any real skepticism from the Chief Justice or Justice Kavanaugh, and we already know where Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch stand. Sigh.

Another indicator w/ Rand Paul of where this may be going on Hill (plus @atrupar.com video of Ted Cruz). Sen Paul raises right issues re Emoluments. As I discuss, optimal move may be to propose Resolution of Consent to Qatar deal (which will USEFULLY fail) rather than resolution of opposition.
