If you had important information for voters, and kept it to yourself to sell books after it was too late, you’re not a hero. You’re an asshole.

VAN HOLLEN: I'm simply asking you to provide the committee with a reorganization plan, and your response is 'maybe yes, maybe no.' Am I getting that right? LUTNICK: We're going to follow the law VAN HOLLEN: The law requires to you to submit these major changes to the Senate

Wonder how many of them voted for her? 🤔 The Republican party has been showing us for years who they really are and using grievance politics as their shield to advance their agenda. These people need to wake up and stop voting against their own interests.

If you know anything about RFK Jr the fact that he falsified the MAHA report should not surprise you in the least.

The first report from the Trump administration’s Make America Healthy Again Commission, released last week, appears to be rife with errors, including some studies that don’t exist.

Phang: We don’t need the Ten Commandments hanging in Texas schools. What we need is common-sense gun legislation—so the kids can live. If my kid goes to a public school in Texas and they can’t come home alive, I don’t give a shit about the Ten Commandments being posted on the wall.

They are turning everything into a phetasy. DHS runs a reality show. The Executive is doing a reboot of the Apprentice where nations jump through hoops to give the best gifts or they get tariffed. DoD does the American Gladiators with real swords or Battlebots but in Yemen.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

"'Without meaningful reform,' Rep. Chip Roy said last week, 'Medicaid will bankrupt this country.' This is laughable, because of the massive tax cuts Republicans are also trying to pass in the very same bill."

It's important to realize: when Trump says, "we'll be okay", he doesn't mean people like you and I. He means his people- the rich white ass clowns who have enough money to weather any storm. Trump has no earthly idea how this will impact everyday Americans.

One of most alarming red flags to date. Not so much for the impact, but for what it says about Trumps’ footsoldiers’ devotion to his cult of personality. This is full-on dictator mythmaking.

Swalwell: What are we doing here? What in this hearing achieves lowering costs for the American people? Do you know how far you’ve deviated from that goal? This is where you are: today, you will make it easier to deport more American citizen children with cancer.

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

Trump constantly calls for judges to be impeached. He singles them out for abuse. And today, his administration arrested two judges—one, Judge Hannah Dugan, a Wisconsinite—in what can only be called an act of political theater, calculated to intimidate.

Van Hollen: "I'm very glad that the killed of Rachel Morin has been convicted in a court of law. That is how we hold guilty people accountable ... I'm not sure why Abrego Garcia's rights should be denied based on an awful murder he had absolutely nothing to do with."

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.
