Knowing the history of why Hmong people are in the US at all makes this story even more enraging. The U.S. dropped one ton of bombs for every person in Laos, recruited Hmong people to fight for the US, and now is leaving them to fend for themselves. Unforgivable. www.jsonline.com/story/news/l...

An interesting theory on why Schumer supported the CR.

If your excuse as an elected official, here in 2025, for not doing something that is in the interest of Dems who elected you is that Republicans might weaponize it, you are not living in 2025. They are going to weaponize anything you do, either way. They have demonstrated this over and over.

The fact that Trump is delivering such highly politicized remarks, as well as some lies, at the Department of Justice is outrageous and disgraceful.

I refuse to vote for Republicans’ slush fund bill that grants Trump and Elon Musk permission to continue rigging our government and our economy against the middle class. It would greenlight even more chaos and more cuts to critical programs. Hell no, I cannot support that.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

Are your elected reps GOP? Since they won't do town halls, please call them today and ask why an unelected billionaire and a bunch of technoboyz barely out of diapers have access (and not just read only; full write access!) to every American's social security number & tax information. Why?!

This Repub CR, that they claim will keep the government open, is a perfect example of why you must read bills. Inside the text, you’ll find cuts everywhere, and so much money taken from vets you wouldn’t believe it. These guys are frauds. Nice try! Hard NO! Throw it in the 🗑️

🚨 @repalgreen was censured for disrupting Trump’s speech in order to defend #medicare for millions of Americans. But they never censured @repmarjorietgreene.bsky.social for yelling, heckling and disrupting President Biden in the exact same arena. Wonder why that is???

President Trump said in his address to Congress that he inherited an “economic catastrophe” from Joe Biden. The U.S. had the strongest economy in the world when Trump took over, but it's shown signs of strain from Trump's federal funding cuts and tariffs. Follow live.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

It’s been said before but I’ll say it again. Musk, Trump & the entire GOP are cruel. They are determined to take food from starving children, medicine from elders, & stealing money from Americans. Immoral. Maybe they should read their bibles & our constitution.

A Republican congressman assaulted the woman he was having an affair with. DC police was ready to arrest him, but they can’t because the U.S. attorney who today proclaimed itself “President Trump’s lawyer” won’t sign a warrant against a Republican.

Maddow: That has never happened at this scale in this way before when it comes to programing changes, presumably because it's not the right way to treat people and it kind of drops the bottom out of whether or not people feel like this is a good place to work
