Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Republicans are coming after your healthcare. AGAIN! Trump & the GOP are endangering the lives of those you love. They plan to make drastic cuts to medicaid, just so they can give their billionaire friends a tax break. How messed up is that! #DontCutMyMedicaid

Watch: @maddow.msnbc.com explains that the public opinion is against the felon in the White House. He is historically unpopular. He is the least popular president in the history of modern polling during this point of his presidency. People don't like his policies & the people in his administration.

A rogue DOJ… Pardons for Jan6 treasonous acts were inexcusable. Broaden the scope to include drugs, guns…and child porn manufacturing/possession of child porn? Abuse of judicial power. www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n... Criminals supported by bigger criminals. This is our country. #SheShed

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Sorry to be nerdy, but it’s really important right now to understand one thing. All R’s are trying to do is give Elon his massive tax cut under reconciliation- 50 votes in the Senate, no filibuster. But RECONCILIATION REQUIRES PAY-FOR OFFSETS! Hence all the cuts. Get it?

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

The Eric Adams criminal case raises significant concerns about the independence of the Justice Department and the role of political influence in prosecutions. 💡 The key question: Was there an improper quid pro quo—and if so, will the Court do anything about it?

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

Connolly: "The fallacy of Musk's argument is they never look at revenue. They only look at expenditures. If you want to save social security, it's a fairly easy fix. Raise income threshold subject to withholding tax & you can extend social security by 40 to 50yrs. He doesn't want to talk about that"
