Members of Congress are supposed to be "Public Servants," meaning they work for us.
So why do our employees have better healthcare than we do? Why are OUR EMPLOYEES denying us, the people who pay their salaries and for whom they're supposed to work, healthcare?

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social: It is the responsibility of Congress to declare and authorize the use of military force. Congress has not authorized a military use of force. There has not been a case made, and I think the absence of one really speaks volumes.

But what staff - since DOGE - has the capacity to review this nonsense? Trump will try to collect data and no one will evaluate it. Guess this is true isolationism - wonder how he thinks Ivana and Melania would have gotten in? So ridiculous!
This is insane. No one’s coming.
One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.”
Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.

I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

The mainstream media press corps needs to stand together against Trump’s misogyny & sexism.
It also needs to collectively push back when the Orange Turd refuses to answer questions.

Ought to be front-page headlines.
Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

No one seems to understand that he is a bully, aka weak person and you have to stand up to him to shut him up.
I'm just disgusted that not a single other reporter present stood up for their colleague. Just disgusted.
I’m not going to pretend it’s easy to say something in the moment when you witness the president do this and you’re aboard Air Force One with all the uniformed officers and secret service and fancy wood accents, but this is really an instance where you should. people.com/donald-trump...

Trump is welcoming MBS, the Saudi crown prince, to the White House. This is the dictator who had a U.S. columnist murdered for criticizing the Saudi royal family.
Sadly, we have a president who prefers the Saudi model — an autocracy run by a trillionaire family — to democracy.

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

Trump has accused boat crews of being narco-terrorists. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced

I agree, more talk about his dementia and more pushback from journalists. Ask a follow-up question or check his lies please!
Dems need to start talking more about how Trump’s dementia means that he can’t distinguish his fantasies from reality. He has completely lost touch with the real world and only knows what his sycophantic courtiers are telling him.
Trump: "If you look at affordability, which they campaigned on, they lied. Because they talked about 'Oh, prices are up' -- no, prices are down under the Trump administration and they're down substantially."
