Sen. Alex Padilla: "Trump clearly has one litmus test when selecting people to appoint. It's not experience. It's not dedication to our country or the rule of law. It's whether or not a potential nominee is willing to bend or ignore the law to satisfy the president."

During a closed-door meeting of Republican senators, Sen. Mitch McConnell tried to tamper down some of his colleagues' fears that the Medicaid cuts included in the bill could lead to major electoral losses for the party, claiming that voters will ultimately “get over it.”

#GVerse #Unfuckingbelievable - After cutting healthcare for 16M, #Republicans say the solution is for Americans to buy $500 health tracking “Oura rings.” When Rep. Mike Thompson asked how struggling families could afford that, the GOP witness said he got his “cheap” for $300. This is sick.

Nadler just endorsed Mamdani. A big deal both because of his epic tenure as a congressman and Jewish leader and because, I'm sad to say, the Upper West Side, which he represents and where I live, went for Cuomo and is home to a great many people who (I'm going to put this politely) need reassuring.

We can’t solve every problem now and if we try we lose. Agree that everyone anti-MAGA is on the team, then we work together to beat MAGA. AFTER THAT we can debate among each other how to proceed in a democratic fashion, eh? Your impatience will kill us all, so zip it up! ♥️🤍💙

The senate's version of the bill is $400 billion more expensive and that would mean even deeper cuts to medicaid. They cut too much from that program and even the cult won't vote for them. www.rawstory.com/gop-26724273...

Schiff asks if there are notes over the meeting about defying court orders, whether Bove will provide them to the committee, and Bove says he will defer to trump and the DoJ on whether he can. He KNOWS he's caught. Same with the notes from the Eric Adams case. Schiff is doing really well here.
