I wonder who else has had their USSS protection canceled. It can't just be Bolton.
John Bolton, Trump's former national security adviser, says Trump canceled his Secret Service protection detail.

Bolton began receiving the added protection during the Biden admin after the FBI discovered Bolton was the target of an Iranian assassination plot.

The Senate just voted to advance a bill that will hand MAGA extremists power to hijack federal immigration policy and target legal immigrants.

And these Democrats helped make it happen.

New Marist poll: Trump starts with a net-negative favorability rating, 44% favorable, 49% unfavorable. This destroys the idea Trump has a mandate. Wish Democratic leaders would see these polls and realize Trump is not popular. Stop talking common ground and start fighting!

As I reported for @motherjones.com, abusers exploit abortion bans: "When the state says ‘You do not have choices, in a way, that signals to an abusive partner, ‘The state’s not giving you this choice, I don't need to give you this choice either,'" one expert said.

Thanks to President Biden, Medicare is capping the prices of 15 more prescription drugs, including medications for Type 2 Diabetes, cancer, and asthma.

If Trump and the GOP try to stop these price cuts, it will be CLEAR who they really serve - their billionaire buddies.
