BREAKING: Sen. Ron Wyden sounds the alarm that Trump approves of the House budget resolution -- the only way they can meet their $880 billion in cuts is by cutting hundreds of billions from Medicaid, a disaster for millions. Make sure everyone sees this.

Chris Murphy: "This deal that Donald Trump just cut with the mayor of New York -- it's a big deal ... they did that out in the open on TV because it's a signal to everybody else out there that the law will be applied differently to you if you are loyal to the president."

Murphy: "Donald Trump's contempt for the rule of law is unprecedented. What we are all watching right now is Donald Trump throw away the idea that laws apply to everyone equally. And it is astonishing to watch so many of my Republican colleagues fall in line."

More staff #LAYOFFS across Centers for Medicare, Medicaid, FDA, and CDCP including employees that evaluate safety of medical devices and conduct oversight of the Affordable Care Act. Ca. 1,000 notices were sent to NIH staff. Layoffs could expand beyond prior cuts. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Let me get this straight? Trump dithers on about the situation in Syria and his concern is what's best for Russia?

The US needs a strong military, but we do not need a defense system that is designed to make huge profits for a handful of giant defense contractors. We do not need to spend almost a trillion dollars on the military, while children go hungry. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

TRUMPFLATION!

Preemptive pardons are an imperfect solution to a problem that shouldn't exist in a democracy, the threat a president will corrupt the criminal justice system. Keep focus on Trump & the threat he poses to democracy as this debate continues-that's where it belongs. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
