Having to watch a bootlegged copy of a video from another country because my country censored it is making me feel as if I'm living in 1980s Eastern Germany.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.
Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

Lots of documented evidence proves immigrants, including those undocumented, are significant contributers to the US economy and other institutions. They do the hard dirty jobs to produce American food. In 2022, they paid $96.7 billion in taxes. They hold $299 billion in spending power... ETC!

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.
Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

Defendants are presumed innocent unless convicted. Every US Atty (or so I thought) knows you can’t weigh in on guilt like this.

It’s a sad and deeply disturbing day in this country. We’ve seen moments like this far too often, including attacks against providers, advocates, and patients, both on the news or in our own backyards.
We’re fighting back. But we shouldn’t have to do it under threat of violence.
