BASH: You mentioned $1.5 trillion. $1 trillion of that is to reverse Medicaid cuts that you put in the big beautiful bill

MIKE JOHNSON: Medicaid reforms, not cuts.

BASH: It's less spending. You can call it what you want.

I spent 12 years working with the survivors of St. Anne's residential school in their attempt to get justice. The government spent millions fighting people who could barely afford the bus ride to the hearings.
There is no reconciliation without justice for St. Anne's.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

Nine agents chasing a single delivery guy on a bicycle and a couple of agents standing there watching.

In the "waste, fraud, and abuse" category, is this a good use of your tax dollars?

ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

The most important aspect of this Tylenol debacle, is that the President raped children.

They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦‍♂️

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the United States government. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment.

Everyone who values freedom of speech should be outraged — and they should speak out.

Happy National Pawpaw Day! North America's largest fruit can be found all over the DC area in the early fall. You can collect up to half a gallon from Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park, or you can stop by the Annual Maryland Pawpaw Fest in Frederick!

Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."
