He's literally enacting a "solution" to the batshit "great replacement theory" spouted maliciously by the likes of Stephan Miller and Tucker Carlson. We live in the dumbest timeline, so I should expect a strongly-worded letter from Schumer any day now.

About half of all births are covered by Medicaid. Over a third of all kids have health care thanks to Medicaid. More than half of all nursing home residents are covered by Medicaid. So understand this: when the GOP attacks Medicaid, they attack families in every community.

Bright Line Watch is a survey of polysci profs on US democracy. They were pretty positive all through the first Trump administration. Now? @brendannyhan.bsky.social: "Political scientists are in a state of alarm I've never seen before. What we’re seeing is right out of the authoritarian playbook."

In the richest country in the history of the world, a single parent with two kids spends more than HALF of his or her income on child care. The time is now to FINALLY provide high-quality, affordable child care for all working families.

This is absolutely wild. I guess El Salvador was getting too hot for the administration, so they attempted to turn to a failed state? Everyone in the Trump regime is not just incompetent, they're also not coordinating. They're making it up as they go along.

This is why I get irritated when people tell me "but he's losing in court all over the place!" Yeah, but is it being enforced? If they can't bother to hold this administration to account, then what good are those rulings?

The language is obvious, so she's either unqualified or it's part of a coordinated effort by Republicans to obscure this fact from their voters. Conservative media routinely lies by omission, turning half the nation into ignorant dunces, so obscuring the obvious would be surprisingly easy.

If Dems learn nothing and seriously use the tone deaf line of "it's her turn" in the next election, all they're doing is creating a faction of burn-it-all-down supervillains that I'm sure will be convenient scapegoats for their escalating failures. I'm sure a strongly-worded letter might fix this.
