Republicans want to double your healthcare costs.

Republicans want to rip healthcare away from 15 million people.

Republicans want to give their billionaire donors handouts at your expense.

And they’re lying about it every chance they get.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area ICE facility and began to pray.

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Proud of our team who defended at #SCOTUS Colorado's ban on so-called "conversion therapy," a discredited and harmful practice. Medical professionals should not be given a First Amendment right to harm patients with substandard care. For more details, see here: www.westword.com/news/colorad...

I was today years old… Which is 45 years on this planet… And I hold a college degree… When I learned that you have to pay money to apply to college? That’s…… not right.

The complete and total bullshit about this is that it should have been the FIRST question asked of Johnson. It is a disgrace that he was not asked about this before he ended his press conference. Unbelievable that he continues to get away with this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

ABC News: "Satellite images show extent of destruction in Gaza after 2 years of war."

Gaza has been destroyed, with hundreds of thousands killed. The civilians rely on our donations to survive.

Please give to my friend Tasneem so she can feed her children. And to others. ❤️

An image of Tasneem and her family in Gaza. With the words: "I'm Tasneem, a mother of three children. I used to live a simple life, full of love despite its simplicity - but everything changed on October 7. Our home was completely destroyed, we've been displaced more than 15 times, and now we live in daily hell. My only dream is to secure a safe life for my children outside of Gaza. Any support - even just €5 - could change their future and give them a sense of safety. Help us build a new hope for them"
