Reminder that this is a *friendly* question from a GOP Senator — and Lutnick still fumbles it all!

I will never get over how the Trump admin is almost universally the least curious people you could appoint to public life.
KENNEDY: The Census Bureau is under your jurisdiction & responsible for defining what it means to be poor, is that right?

LUTNICK: I don't know

K: Well you need to look, bc it does. What's the % of Americans who live below poverty level?

L: I don't know

K: It's around 11%. It's been constant

When Texas lawmakers tried to visit 33-year-old “political prisoner” Leqaa Kordia at an ICE facility, she’d already lost 50 pounds and was running a high fever.

By Friday, she was hospitalized. But her family still has not been able to locate her.

The Columbia University protester had a fever when lawmakers tried to visit her last month — and her health is declining fast.

"I feel so much sadness and depression of not being able to leave."

That’s what Gabby, a 14-year-old, said about being locked in an ICE detention facility.

Children like Gabby should be at school with their friends, not locked up with strangers.

No one should enlist under this administration. How could anyone that isn't a straight white man serve knowing that this is what leadership thinks?

Missourians are failing our communities. We must invest more in getting people the help they need. There are 528 people in jail who are, “as a matter of law, innocent and not officially facing criminal charges. Yet they're held in jail because of the state backlog of mental health beds.” #MOleg

My latest on tornado recovery in North St. Louis.

Nearly nine months later, St. Louis programs aimed to help people impacted by the May 16 tornado are only getting started. City officials say they struggled to get the aid programs running.

I need to create if not find an already established, list of streets and address ranges gobbled up by the airport in Bridgeton, Berkeley and Kinloch.

Its a daily headache helping people with RECA claims because the purchase/demo records aren't in our system.

They just deleted them. Entirely.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Trumprx.gov is a farce. Not even a whole Potemkin village, it is just a Potemkin coupons.com

40 meds and you can only use most of the coupons if you don't have insurance and aren't on any other plan. In most cases you would be better off contacting the manufacturer directly to get a lower price.

He cannot be clearer. There is no difference to him between bombing random fishermen on boats and shooting Americans protesters in the face
I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")

The lawyers who work FOR THE US DOJ are trying to get as many people out of jail as they can because they know it is all wrong. It’s amazing to see a “behind the scenes” look at a judge and lawyer just trying to figure out how to do a little bit of good in this fucked situation.
