Republicans, before you vote to close 1 of 4 nursing homes, can you update us on where those people will go?

Maybe call a few seniors in your state and go over plans for where they go next?

Or call the son whose dad has dementia and tell him how he can be a full-time caregiver?
BREAKING: 1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.

No grandma should be kicked out of her nursing home so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island.

His body will lie in state at the Memphis airport for three days, then be delivered to its final resting place via Columbia, MO; Trenton, NJ; Springfield, MA; Charleston, SC; Bakersfield, CA; Trenton again for some reason; and will then register as "out for delivery" indefinitely.
Fred Smith, who bet everything he had on a plan to revolutionize freight transport as the founder of FedEx, died on Saturday at age 80. His vision for how to ship packages overnight led to not just a new company, but also a new sector of the world economy.

The Dems have credibility problems because parasites like you obsess about shit no one cares about instead of focusing on issues that actually affect people’s lives.
Democrats destroyed our credibility by propping up Joe Biden—and we won’t fix that by burying our heads in the sand…again.

And I don’t give a shit if you don’t think it’s helpful.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

💯 Dems should also commit to a specific position: Trump has not honored the promises and agreements of his predecessors and we will not honor his. If you're gullible enough to trust an assurance from Trump, understand that it is gone the moment he is.
I'm not kidding that any Dem who wants to run in 2028 should get out ahead of this and loudly say if El Salvador puts American citizens in Trump's gulag we'll fucking invade.

This is exactly how offshore finance works: creating strategic ambiguity.

For DOGE, it's strategic ambiguity abt who's accountable for their actions.

In offshore finance, it's strategic ambiguity abt who owns what. Makes it hard to tax or regulate assets.

Same shell game of the rich & powerful.
Here are four ways that DOGE, as a dark network, is amassing power while avoiding accountability

Fantastic thread
About fifty years ago, NASA strapped a message in a bottle to a rocket and flung it into the deep dark
It wasn’t supposed to go this far, but it did. Long past its mission, it’s still out there so far away now that a simple hello takes a day to reach it, and another day to hear if it says hello back

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: Fuck off.

This is the way
“Forty-one U.S. senators could use the filibuster to block most legislation that enables the funding of Musk’s companies. With 53 Republicans, 45 Democrats, and two independents in the Senate, such a push is numerically possible, though politically difficult.“
Senate Democrats have the power to block federal contracts to Tesla and SpaceX. It’s the path to pushing Musk out of politics.

Working at NASA is a dream for many around the country and even the world. Positions don't just get created. They are extremely rare and highly competitive. The folks that get them are _the_ best at what they do. What do they do? 1/6

Again, Twitter WON this case (decisively) at the district court level. The 9th Circuit made it clear that Twitter would win on appeal at oral args. And now it decided to just hand over $10 million to Trump.

Republicans ran into the room to SHEILD Elon Musk from having to come and speak to Congress. They want their billionaire takeover done behind closed doors. The people deserve transparency. No one elected Elon Musk.
I’m in Oversight Committee right now. Ranking Member Connolly just called for a vote to subpoena Elon Musk. Republicans out-number us on this committee, but many aren’t in the room. We’ll see who wins this vote. We deserve transparency and answers.
