- Doesn’t want to talk about prices or employment.
- Is asking SCOTUS *right now* to let him stop funding SNAP so he can use hunger as a weapon.
- Is still lying about trillions of dollars in tariffs.
All while he builds a ballroom and remodels the White House.

It’s amazing that Republicans are suddenly concerned with how much money insurance companies are making.
We would be happy to sit down with you to fix that problem. But I suspect that just might be a red herring to distract from the fact that they just want to kill the ACA.

Here's a fun little nugget from Trump's demand that DOJ pay him, personally, $250 million: In his memo, he argues that prosecutors "should have foreseen" that he has "immunity from prosecution for officials acts." Thank you John Roberts, great rule of law-ing, sir! static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.
This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.
