Hakeem Jeffries obliterated Lying Mike Lawler: “You’re ripping away people’s health care. People will die in your district.”

Then Creepy Mike Johnson tried to crash a press conference and got exposed for the Epstein cover-up.

Every Democrat should be fighting like this. No excuses. 💥

Big thank you to the great @murray.senate.gov for joining Meidas Health today with my great friend and physician leader @drkavitapatel.bsky.social to break down the terrible impacts of rhe government shutdown on our nations health.

Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month.

Many people will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

Make no mistake.

The recent incursions in our skies are part of a pattern of growing threats.

It’s time to call it by its name.
This is hybrid warfare.

Europe must get the capacity to respond and protect our skies.

Work has begun.
