I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.

I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

This is the Secretary of Homeland Security, who has the huge responsibility of keeping the USA safe. DHS is the third largest cabinet dept

She is also a former governor of a state

How is it possible to fail so well upwards?

“I’ve reported on presidents’ health for 53 years.

No public evidence suggests Biden’s doctors mishandled prostate cancer testing.”

Some are criticizing Biden’s team for not testing him earlier for prostate cancer. But overtesting is a particular concern for all men, including presidents.

The Kraft super PAC's listed address is a 4-bedroom single family home that's a 5-minute drive from Gillette Stadium 🤷‍♂️

Part of a pattern:

The super PAC's Facebook/Instagram ad hitting Wu on housing uses stock photo of homeless person in United Kingdom, per image search ⤵️

One additional thing:

The photo the super PAC is using is apparently that of a kid in Bulgaria, 4,600 miles away from Boston

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

So, a single parent of a 7-year-old is subject to work requirements to qualify for SNAP. But a *married* parent of a 7-year old can stay home to care for their child, if their spouse works.
The Ag Committee's part of the Reconciliation Bill raises the SNAP work requirement age for able-bodied adults without dependents from 54 to 64. It also changes the definition of "dependent child" from under 18 years to under 7 years old to determine "Able-bodied adult without dependents."

Bruni is right that D’s don’t need “perfectly chosen emissaries and a perfectly honed script” 2 prevail vs Trump. They just need to be direct & stop blaming other Ds 2/3

Daddy’s Olympic team beat Thailand by 72 points in 1956 Games!

When I asked him if that was unsportsmanlike, he said they wouldn’t insult them by NOT KICKING THEIR ASSES!

The margin of victory record stood until the London Olympics! 💚🍀🏀
