Suozzi: "In my district, if you make $130,000 & you're a family of 4, you now pay 8.5% of your income for health insurance - $10k to $11,000 a year. That's gonna go up to $30k a year, which means your premium is going to increase $1,500 a month. That's crazy. People are not gonna buy the insurance"

Anyone notice that Speaker Johnson subtly dismissed Congress today so that they won't be in session on Friday?
Hmmm, anything big set to happen on Friday that might upset people?

KLOBUCHAR: You've launched investigations into every major broadcast network except Fox. Is that correct?
CARR: I don't know if that's true or not. We do have investigations going on NPR and PBS. We have a number of investigations.

Jack Smith wants to tell Congress about his Trump investigations. That comes with risks.
The House Judiciary Committee will question the former special counsel behind closed doors.

When the U.S. uses the military against citizens, attacks immigrants, and executes people who pose no threat, it jeopardizes our national security because it incites violence, invites retaliation, normalizes fascism, and sets precedence for others to follow suit. Trump is endangering America.

I spoke in Indiana days before the Republicans refused Trump’s gerrymandered map. Everyone I talked to said the Rs weren’t going to pass the map.
Know why?
He threatened them. Even Republicans are tired of that shit. You’re going to see more of it too. Mark it. The fever is breaking.
