When I tell you this movie had me sobbing at TIFF....if I wasn't in public, it would have been full on ugly crying. It's such a beautifully told story about a family and while Paul Mescal was great, the real standout for me was Jessie Buckley. GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!🍿

Whoever is in his Goergia district needs to know this asshole just as soon have folks die as be treated. What a fuck Rich McCormick is.

Rep Dr Rich McCormick R-GA is an emergency physician. He is openly advocating for anyone who can not produce citizenship documents to his satisfaction, should be left to suffer & die. Unchristian. Un-American. Inhumane. This is who Trump & Republicans are

Newsmax host to Rep. Rich McCormick: "You've seen this whole game, how illegal immigrants come into the ER with sniffles and they get to benefit from Medicaid, but Democrats are blaming Republicans for the increase in healthcare [costs]."

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

There is no budget "deal" to be made

President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.

Trump: "AI is based on information. I hope they're right about information. I don't know. You've gotta make a lot of money to-- there's gotta be a lot of information out there, but that seems to be pretty hot. We're leading the world on information on AI."

He couldn't tell anyone what AI is without reading a cheat sheet and he'd still likely be wrong.

He’s suing federal judges in Maryland en masse (United States v. Russell) for enjoining his immigration removals, and a judge already tossed the suit.
When your response to losing in court is to attack the courts, you’re showing weakness, not strength. #JudicialAttack #AuthoritarianDrift

His claims of “peace” are hollow when his regime is embroiled in mounting legal defeats, internal distrust, and state pushback.

He fired 17 federal inspectors general overnight, a purge of oversight.
Those watchdogs exist so presidents don’t get away with abuse unchecked. He’s tearing down accountability. #PurgeOfWatchdogs #UncheckedPower

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.
