“But it’s now clear Trump doesn’t even understand why healthcare relies on insurance, why we can’t pay medical expenses out of pocket. Hint: You never know when you’ll need expensive treatment, but should the need arise, only the ultra-wealthy can come up with the cash.”
Republicans Are Damaged by Their Own Cruelty
They’re pathologically unwilling to help Americans in need — and Democrats should hammer this home

Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”
Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.
For the crime of … complaining about government policy.
Core 1A speech.
With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?
JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back
R: Why not now?
J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.
There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.
Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Banning “dangerous gain-of-function” pathogen research is actually just banning pathogen research. TB causes chronic disease, the supposed cornerstone of the MAHA movement. Hard to see ending TB research on treatments as anything but another targeted attack on science in service of destroying it.
Ditto. Thanks for this Sarah. www.statnews.com/2025/10/06/g...
The NIH ordered me to stop my ‘dangerous’ gain-of-function research. It isn’t dangerous at all
Safe gain-of-function research is necessary to identify new treatments for diseases like for tuberculosis — but the NIH has imposed unfounded stops.
