Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own.
She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.

George Conway on Trump: "What we have here isn't traditional conservatism, it isn't traditional republicanism, it is authoritarianism. But I think a better word for it, gangsterism... We don't have Ronald Reagan anymore. We have Tony Soprano."

It’s just like his approach to COVID — the problem is never that people are suffering, the problem is that the government is bothering to keep track of how many people are suffering.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.
One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.
They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

Republicans just officially unveiled their budget that guts Medicaid.
Under the plan, over 13 million Americans would lose their health care.
We should not be cutting Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for the richest Americans.

Make no mistake: cruel cuts at our health care agencies are going to kneecap our ability to inspect food and drugs. To offer addiction recovery resources. To make sure Medicaid and Medicare work as they should.
These are disastrous cuts, and we will continue fighting them.

Stop thinking of the Trump regime as a presidency doing politics. Start seeing it as a Mafia-style crime syndicate running a protection racket.
New in PN: There's no sum of money that will keep you safe from Trump
"The nature of a protection racket is that it doesn’t actually keep one safe. The cost to comply can always go up. The nature of what constitutes compliance can always be changed. And once you agree to pay, you can’t really stop"

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.
