REPUBLICAN Rep. @repchiproy is rightly APPALLED that hagerty & @marshablackburn and others snuck a provision to let senators sue taxpayers for $500,000 MINIMUM for being investigated as part of Trump’s insurrection into the government funding bill.

Insane corruption.

🔥 @RepJoeNeguse: “Most of 🇺🇸 will find this REPUGNANT. These senators are guaranteeing themselves million-dollar paydays.”

Bipartisan horror at @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn’s greedy money grab snuck inside the funding bill— rewarding themselves for getting investigated.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

On this week’s “More To The Story,” former Yale professor Jason Stanley has been taking a lot of heat for moving to Canada. Why?

Because he studies fascism—and he believes it’s already arrived in the US.
I study fascism. I’ve already fled America.
On this week’s “More To The Story,” former Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains his recent move to Canada and calls the Trump administration’s takeover of the US government a “coup.”

Good grief.
In a gross misuse of power, Trump's cronies took over the email accounts of furloughed government workers and used them to send anti-Democratic emails. Breaking several laws. Violates 1A.
Kind of seems much worse than anything HRC ever did with her emails.

Russia plans to seize Ukraine in three stages. Putin seeks to hold on to the annexed regions and capture Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, and Odesa, cutting Ukraine off from the Black Sea, according to Foreign Affairs.

The second stage involves economic and political pressure with the threat of a new invasion.👇
