This is a moral moment in America. Sitting on the Capitol steps with Leader Hakeem Jeffries this morning to discuss what’s at stake with Trump’s budget and affirm the need for collective action to protect Medicaid, food assistance, and other safety net programs. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

The circle of top advisers in Pete Hegseth’s orbit has shrunk recently to little more than his wife, lawyer, and two lower-level officials—leaving the Pentagon’s lead office without longtime expertise or clear direction. This had led to fears about dangerous slip-ups, such as weapons program delays.

Trump wants to pay women $5k to have kids — while gutting Medicaid and the ACA. The average cost of giving birth without insurance is $13,393 for vaginal delivery and $22,646 for C-sections. He’s wants more births while making it unaffordable to have, let alone raise, a kid.

This, to me, is the most obvious messaging opportunity ever for Democrats. Chuck Schumer should be on the ground in Arkansas within 24 hours and Democrats in both houses of Congress should be filing measures to provide federal funds to assist in recovery efforts. Force Republicans to say no.

Trump was asked whether Hegseth is incompetent and should be replaced and he replied—confirming he has no idea who he's bombing in Yemen because he doesn't read briefing books and also doesn't care—"Ask the Hooties" Keep in mind this moron hears the correct pronunciation of "Houthis" 20 times daily

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

Under the Trump administration’s theory of the law, the government could have banished this U.S. citizen to a Salvadoran prison then refused to do anything to bring him back. This is why the Constitution guarantees due process to all. Could it be more obvious? news.azpm.org/p/news-artic...

This is some fascist stuff: illness as a moral failing, bodies assets for and property of the nation, “health” equalling morally good, while illness is coded as parasitic on the nation. Dark times.
