Nearly 1 in 20 households is falling behind on their utility bills... yep, and Republicans' Big, Ugly Bill will only make things worse.

President Trump is only interested in giving his billionaire buddies HUGE tax breaks, not lowering costs for hardworking Americans.
Americans are facing power shutoffs and mounting debt as energy costs surge
Past-due balances are becoming a reality for many U.S. households as they struggle to keep up with costlier utility bills.

An update on the fight over health insurance premiums:

Republicans have basically stopped negotiating. Trump is more focused on his ballroom than these cost hikes.

Later this month, Senate Democrats will force a vote on this - one last chance for GOP to do the right thing.

This story sums up Trump: No need for evidence. No need for laws or treaties. No need for discussions. If Trump decides (based upon whatever random information or maybe just heartburn) that someone is in the wrong, he believes he has the right to kill them.

The US is now a rogue nation.

Marshall should lose his medical license for these lies.
Sen. Roger Marshall on Trump's health: "I'll work 110 hours a week. He outworks me. He's the first person I've ever known that works harder than I do. He runs around that golf course. He's in incredible shape right now. And you talk about sharp! He's playing 4 dimensional chess"

Rand Paul: "Secretary Hegseth said he had no knowledge of this and it did not happen. It was fake news. It didn't happen. And then the next day, from the podium of the WH, they're saying it did happen. So either he was lying to us on Sunday or he's incompetent and didn't know what had happened."

The way I've looked at it is, there has never been, and never will be, a bottom with Trump and his ilk.
There is a temptation is to describe what happened yesterday as somehow a “new low.”

But it’s not a new low. It’s the same old low. A scene we’ve seen repeated so often there is a kind of numbness to it.

In October alone, the California National Guard seized over 1.2 million fentanyl pills — nearly $6.5 million in deadly drugs that will never reach our families or neighborhoods.

This work is saving lives, and I'm grateful for their commitment to keeping Californians safe.

Unearthed 2016 video: Pete Hegseth straight up says US troops will not follow ‘unlawful orders’ from the commander-in-chief, and there have to be consequences for ‘abject war crimes’.

Guess it suddenly gets blurry when it’s Trump issuing the unlawful orders.
