“This place feels to me, today, like a crime scene,” Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) said on the floor of the Senate. “Get some of that yellow tape and put it around this chamber. This piece of legislation is corrupt. This piece of legislation is crooked…” @hcrichardson.bsky.social #VoteNo

FACT: Medicaid covers nearly half of all childbirths in the country, and around two-thirds of nursing home stays.

FACT: Roughly 1/5 of America relies on Medicare or Medicaid to cover healthcare costs.

FACT: GOP members just passed a bill requiring DEEP cuts to these programs

Ken Paxton is going to take some classes on how to be more ethical
He could use some tips.

The Constitution gives Congress control of tariffs. But Republicans handed that power to Trump like a blank check and the American people are going to have to pay the overdraft fees!.

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

I know it bothers you as much as it does me that journalism as an institution can’t process that what it’s seeing on a daily basis is evil people doing evil sh*t

If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained.

Dear Democrats: Call for hearings and resignations every day now. This national security breach would land anyone else in Leavenworth. Between this and billionaires cutting programs for regular Americans, Dems have plenty of tangible evidence as to why the Republican party is a danger to all of us.

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance.

Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.
