Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

Democratic leadership has again made a tragic miscalculation. They saw that voters turned out in force last week and thought it was because of the generic 'healthcare' issue.
No.
Voters showed up because they *finally* saw Dems fucking fighting.
Will they never understand....

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence.

Karoline Leavitt says that the guy just confirmed as a federal judge, the same guy who drove off a dozen prosecutors in New York when they refused to sign a corrupt pardon for Eric Adams, and urged DOJ lawyers to be ready to tell another judge to "fuck off" on Pam Bondi's behalf—yeah that guy—
Q: "POTUS said it was his intention to pardon the former President of Honduras who was a convicted drug trafficker…How is that different than what the administration is accusing Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro of?"
Leavitt: "The former-President Hernandez was set up.”

Upon reflection, this us a seriously incompetent and underwhelming powerpoint chart for conveying information of this significance. Like grade-school level.
TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

Freshman year of uni I took a philosophy course. Wasn't prepared for the 1st test, so I wrote a bunch of philosophical-sounding justifications for why that shouldn't matter.
Test returned with ol' "See me" on it. I did and he told me my test was "bullshit". Not angry, just factually.
He was right.

John Roberts alone appoints every chair and every member of every committee.
How he has managed the Judicial Conduct Committee is indicative of how he handles ethics in the federal judiciary.
And he manages the committee by appointing only closely aligned judges, and changing them infrequently.

According to the Roberts court, none of the open corruption that Trump is committing is a crime, because there's no explicit quid pro quo.

Investigations are too often excuses for politicians to avoid action...and extensive work isn't needed when the crimes can be observed in real time in public.
Rep. Moulton in here says “Mark my words: It may take some time, but Americans will be prosecuted for this, either as a war crime or outright murder.”
Good baseline response. Not investigations. Not vague promises of accountability. Prosecution.
