Yeah, people are fixating on a Cabinet Secretary being given a sovereign country to run because the president waged war without congressional approval and kidnapped the old leader. Weird that they’d get hung up on that.
WELKER: Mr. Secretary, are you running Venezuela right now?

MARCO RUBIO: Yeah. People are fixating on that. Here's the bottom line -- we expect to see changes in Venezuela

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

The DOJ’s document dump of hundreds of thousands of pages failed to comply with the law authored by Rep. Thomas Massie and me.

I explain what is missing and what the survivors and their lawyers are still expecting to be released.

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:

I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care. 

Your health care is still legal and protected. 

I'll always fight for you.

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.

If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

This is enough money to feed 137,000 children for a year with SNAP, by the way.

Sen. Ossoff: I'm not hearing anything concrete from the GOP. They can't bring themselves to support something that's associated with the ACA. And as a result, they're gonna make a decision that is literally going to result in Americans dying, and for many more Americans facing financial hardship.

Trump’s disgusting sexist attacks on female reporters are an assault on every American woman. His agenda is to 2nd classify women and stripping women of their reproductive rights is just a part of it. Here’s my report: open.substack.com/pub/bonniefu...
"QUIET, QUIET PIGGY: DONALD TRUMP SAYS EXACTLY WHAT HE THINKS ABOUT ALL WOMEN
There's a reason that Donald Trump has led a relentless campaign to deprive women of reproductive rights and their top positions in the military & government agencies- he wants us 'in our place'

1/Catherine Lucey, the White House correspondent for Bloomberg, asked Donald Trump about releasing the Epstein files on Air Force One over the weekend. In response, Trump leaned forward, slashing an accusatory finger her direction and barked, “Quiet! Quiet Piggy,” at her.

Pat Spearman teaches me that while we are honoring Veterans today, our military & Vets are on SNAP & WIC-
“We would not eat.” That is how disabled U.S. Navy veteran Juan Saro described a life without the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP.

@rosen.senate.gov stand strong. We are looking to you to protect the ACA subsidies. You can’t trust the Republicans to keep their “promise”
Rosen: And on Halloween weekend, in the middle of a shutdown where they’re defunding SNAP, where children will go hungry—millions of them—they are gluttonously eating and partying and laughing at their voters, laughing at what they can do to screw the American people.
