I love that we live in a world where we're all supposed to now praise Trump for his peace-making and ignore the fact that at least 20,000 Palestinians have been killed on his watch, with bombs & bullets - & rhetorical support! - that he supplied to Israel.
That's all erased now.

I'm about to vote on the SAME Republican budget proposal for the 6th time.

Why?

Instead of working with Democrats to lower health care costs, Republicans are forcing us to vote over and over again on a budget that would let 15 million Americans lose their coverage.

ICMYI: David Hogg made his first endorsement against a Democratic incumbent.

Seems like a good time to revisit our interview with the former DNC vice chair, who told host @alletson.bsky.social about his plan to tackle elected officials who're “asleep at the wheel."
