Q: We've heard things like Dems want money for civic engagement in Zimbabwe, millions for LGBTQ grants in Balkans. You say this is about healthcare but how do these pet projects fit in?

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

Everyone in DC knows that if you want to hide something, announce it on a Friday in August. Better yet, make it nearly impossible to track down.

That's exactly what SCOTUS did last week. But the news is too staggering to hide for long: SCOTUS has decided it's time to destroy the Voting Rights Act.
The Supreme Court prepares to end voting rights as we know it
And they don't want you to notice.

How far are Republicans willing to go to secure tax breaks for their billionaire buddies?

Cutting more than $1 TRILLION from Medicaid and kicking 17 million people off of their health care.

Trump claims there's a “white genocide” happening in South Africa right to the face of the country’s president. That's a total lie.

Trump claims there's a “white genocide” happening in South Africa right to the face of the country’s president. Former ambassador Patrick Gaspard joins Tim Miller to talk about the real story, the politics behind the fear-mongering, and what the MAGA movement is trying to distract from.

Not to be forgotten, as the President now attempts to take over the Library of Congress:

He did something similar in February when he fired the Archivist of the US.

It's now 3 months and counting, and he apparently has not notified Congress of his reasons for doing so, as required by law. 🗃️
It has not been the norm for incoming presidents to fire the Archivist of the United States.

The president has the power of removal, but is required to notify Congress of his reasons, as @historians.org pointed out last week.

That notification does not appear to have yet taken place. 🗃️
