So disappointing. Millions of Americans will lose coverage. Instead of bringing the 3 year ACA tax credit extension to the floor, Speaker Johnson pushed for a plug bill that provides worse healthcare. www.cbsnews.com/live-updates...

This has the votes to pass with bipartisan support, but Johnson is going to adjourn the House again to delay it as long as possible just like he did with Epstein.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

On top of refusing to reopen the government while withholding SNAP funding, this regime has cancelled USDA's annual hunger report.

They can try to erase the data that proves their cruelty, but they can’t erase the pain of MILLIONS of hungry Americans.

Interviewer: “How long is this sustainable?”

Food Bank Director: “Wow, um, it’s not—it won’t be from the first day. For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9… It’s not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this.“

This is absolutely tragic.

Here it is: the Trump Administration "draft proposal" to the University of California. Published bc faculty sued for its disclosure.

Its terms go beyond what Trump demands in similar compacts to other universities.

EVERYONE should read: faculty, students, admins, alumni.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Before everyone gets all giddy over Rand Paul correctly opining that blowing up Venezuelan boats willy-nilly is wrong, in the same interview he also said that DJT is likely the best president of his lifetime. 😑

But now she wants to spend $172M in taxpayer money on luxury jets for her own use.
