Republicans are trying to jam a bill through the Senate that:
-Cuts $900B from Medicaid
-Kicks millions off their health care
-Raises grocery costs for 40 million Americans
-Adds $4.2T to the deficit
All to cut taxes for billionaires. Rotten to its core.

By disregarding his own intelligence advisors that Iran was *not* about to have nuclear weapons, Donald Trump has, without any justification whatsoever, provoked Iran to retaliate against American troops in the Middle East and American civilians at home. He is a irresponsible, simpleminded idiot.

Let's be absolutely clear: physically assaulting a US Senator for simply asking a question is disgraceful. We stand with Senator Padilla and all those peacefully defending working people against this administration's attacks.

Moody’s Ratings has downgraded the nation’s credit rating one notch from Aaa to Aa1, leaving the U.S. government without a top grade among any of the major rating agencies. Moody's cited rising debt and interest payment ratios that are “significantly higher than similarly rated sovereigns.”

On a 45-50 vote, the Senate blocked an effort to hold the Trump admin accountable for the mass imprisonment of people in El Salvador without trial.
Today Republicans blocked our bill to hold the Trump Admin and the government of El Salvador accountable for their conspiracy to violate due process rights of people living in the U.S.
This isn't just about Mr. Abrego Garcia — this is about defending the rights of ALL. Shameful.

could someone check with John Roberts whether accepting a $400 million plane for your personal use is a core executive power that congress may not constitutionally regulate or merely an action for which the president is presumptively immune from any accountability?

The last on-duty homicide of a detention and deportation officer was 1949.
The last time there was even a non-COVID death on duty was 2016, when an officer had a heart attack during a foot pursuit. Before that, a training accident in 2003, then a fall down an elevator shaft at a jail in 1975.

I know Great Barrington well and it is extremely hard to imagine any scenario on this earth in this small town that would require cops to roll out like they're going to war.
