The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a sick & racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason, rape, and child abuse from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

I bet we could improve the ACA and just call it. Trump Care and the minions would love it. People with common sense wouldn’t care and maybe we’d have some decent health coverage. We could even have universal healthcare!

The most blatantly and obviously corrupt admin in US history by far. Will ANY Republican have the integrity to speak up about this, the pardons, the crypto scam, ANYTHING?

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

Jeanne Shaheen has voted with Trump more than Fetterman. Now she has totally sold us out.

I wonder why.

We have to spin this. Dig out every upside and then on to the next move. We don’t have any time for self flagellation. Dems do this every time. We don’t even have to wait for the other side -we kill our own.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Politicians complicate things. But this whole issue of why the House has closed down for the past 5 months and why Adelita Grijalva isn’t sworn in yet likely isn’t complicated at all. The answer is likely pretty damn simple: Trump is most likely a pedophile, and Speaker Johnson knows it. That’s all.

A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

Yeah, it’s not really a problem to have different viewpoints on how to deliver things like affordable healthcare to the American people. It is a problem if your party believes poor people should just starve and die.
