1 year of RFK Jr. Let's grade his results.

❌ 15 million people losing healthcare
❌ Over $1 trillion cut from Medicaid & the ACA
❌ Premiums x3 for 20 million+ Americans
❌ The largest measles outbreak in decades

RFK Jr. and Trump are making us sicker and less safe.

DHS is shutting down. Why? Because Democrats took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution and ICE is lawless and out of control. We cannot fund an agency that is murdering our citizens, tear gassing school zones, and disappearing legal immigrants.

How the Democrats Can Play Offense on Immigration
Typically, Democrats run for the hills when immigration comes up. But as two blue-state governors are showing, the winning play is actually to confront ICE and MAGA xenophobia head on.

New in PN: The Fulton County raid is part of Trump's total war on voting

"The SAVE Act is not expected to pass the Senate, but in some ways, it doesn’t really need to. It's already served the same purpose as the raid: undermining confidence in elections by amplifying debunked lies about fraud."

One thing I found interesting about Politico's database of judges who ruled for/against Trump's mass detention policy: 80 percent of Trump 2.0 judges sided with the administration vs. 27 percent of Trump 1.0 judges.

Not a huge sample size, but notable! nominationnotes.substack.com/p/trump-20-j...
Trump 2.0 judicial appointees are much more likely to side with the administration over its mass detention policy
It’s a small sample size, but it could offer a preview of what’s to come.

Those apartments were being cleared out weeks earlier.
