WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”
Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

I am an art and architectural historian and professional tourist guide in NYC and in DC. Our arts and culture are not only face and voice of the USA, they are vital to our economy. Travel and tourism is a $9B industry, but now both domestic and international travel is down with no relief in sight.
My new op-ed is out today in TIME: Trump’s Campaign to Defund the Arts—and Rewrite History. It’s about the systematic assault on America’s cultural institutions—and why it matters.
Trump’s Campaign to Defund the Arts—and Rewrite History
"The campaign to defund the arts, capture our museums, and rewrite our history is a prelude to silencing dissent."

Open enrollment for ACA plans began yesterday in Idaho.
One couple got notice that their monthly premium next year would jump from $51 to $2,232 as subsidies expire.
25,000 Idahoans are expected to be priced out of coverage.
This is what's at stake in Trump's shutdown.
