With this Nat’l Guard deployment Trump is openly defying a judge HE HIMSELF appointed, who worked for Ken Starr against Clinton, and was made US Attorney by Bush.

That’s where we are. He has no respect for the Constitution or the judges who put country over party to follow it.

Last night in Westmoreland, we talked about the patriotism of refusing to be divided and conquered, of staying on the same side of the street as the Good Samaritan, of lighting a candle rather than cursing the darkness.

Maybe in Hegseth’s next TED talk about higher standards he can address the lowering of our standard against murder. No matter how fit or clean shaven we can’t have a force killing people we aren’t at war with. Absolutely awful for military culture in addition to being wrong and illegal.

This is a sad and dangerous moment. Whatever you think about Comey, what is new and totally wrong is the White House directing criminal prosecutions. A few short years ago most Republicans would agree that was unacceptable, because it is. Now they’re too scared.

In a nutshell: Trump promised to lower costs on day 1, but health insurance costs are going up 82% in Pennsylvania. We’re calling him on it so he wants to shut down the government.

I asked Lynn, a home care worker whose own healthcare price will skyrocket next year because of Trump, what she would say to Senator Schumer about the importance of stopping this from happening. I thought she gave a great answer.

As Dems fight for ACA healthcare costs, want to learn more about why this matters now? Going live at 2pm EST with a Pennsylvanian who won’t be able to afford healthcare next year even though she’s a care worker, and desperately needs to stay healthy.

Yesterday we were told this is the great Christian leader who will save western civilization.

Today it’s back to being ignorant about what western civilization has achieved, and pointlessly cruel on the issue of healthcare.

Trump: "This is a very strong recommendation—maybe stronger from me than from the group because they're waiting for certain studies, I just want to say it like it is—don't take Tylenol. Don't take it. Fight like hell not to take it."

White House account loves Fetterman blaming Schumer instead of Trump. Of course that blame makes no sense since Republicans failed to pass a bill then went on recess. And because while Schumer is actively trying to negotiate, Trump is refusing to.

If Tom Homan accepted $50k in cash, on camera, just before the election (per @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social & @carolleonnig.bsky.social ), Dems must immediately demand the entire investigative file and not give DOJ another dollar till they get it.

*Our* money is paying for this corruption.

So Trump can get Kimmel and Colbert fired, execute people at sea, put others in a gulag, make foreign profits on crypto, force China to let his friends cash in on TikTok….

But he can’t stop healthcare prices going up 82% in Pennsylvania? Because he also needs a tax cut?

Just so, so unbelievably lazy for a senator to say this.

Would Senate Dems block a GOP-led CR? Sen. John Fetterman tells me he won’t. “I’ve always had the same hard rule: Don’t ever shut the government down ... or hold keeping the gov’t open as a hostage.” He says he supports ACA money but it “should be a standalone.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Trump tells GOP to cut Democrats out of funding bill as Schumer warns of shutdown

Republicans say they're considering a short-term funding bill to keep the government afloat for seven weeks. But they'll need bipartisan votes to pass it.

The Pennsylvania insurance commissioner just predicted the cost of an ACA plan will go up *82%*! Affects 500k people whose budgets are already stretched to the breaking point.

Yet neither of our senators seems aware. The radical left didn’t cause this one fellas.

The MAGA campaign to capture our courts is here so let’s go: A vote to retain the 3 justices of PA’s Supreme Court means free and fair elections in 26 and 28, and no gerrymandering. It means women keep the right to choose. It means freedom of speech and religion. Pass it on.
