Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

Listen up.

From Timothy Snyder..."Something is shifting."

🧵 Imagine this: You and your wife are expecting your first child. You’ve spent the last 7 months preparing, spending countless hours decorating the nursery, reading “What To Expect” books, dreaming about the future. You live in Texas, where the laws are some of the strictest in the country— /1

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

Rep. Jason Crow: “The purge of senior officers at DOD is deeply troubling, but purging JAG officers worries me the most. “JAG officers interpret law for our commanders. They help determine what's lawful and constitutional. “Replacing these military lawyers with Trump loyalists is so dangerous.”

200 million dollars of waste.

I APPROVE FROM TAMPA BAY!!!!!!

I’m not going to watch an ignorant chicken man on MSNBC.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

What's the difference between firing someone "for DEI" and firing them because they are Black?

That sounds about white.

Trump and his family are nothing but a grifters making money off the backs of the American People. There is no accountability because Trump fired all the inspector generals and people who could hold him to account.

Add up the claimed savings on the DOGE website and (right now )you get $7.19b from contract savings, and $0.14b from real estate, for a total of $7.3b, or $21.47 per American. Trump is talking about giving a "DOGE dividend" of 20% of these savings. Enjoy your $4.29.

So the people of Butler Mine, PA voted for Trump, but don’t like that the Leopards are now going to eat their faces and jobs. They are saying the leopards should eat other people’s faces and jobs. Let me play my small violin for you. Maybe it will help the leopards eat your faces faster.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

You have to love it when the Judge implies that a homeless wino passed out in front of the courthouse could argue your case as well as you're doing now:

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

We might want to consider Gov Pritzker for the next presidential election. His communication skills are a breath of fresh air

I support Governor Mills of Maine.
