🚨Using any kind of chemical weapons at this range is aggravated assault against peaceful protesters. They have no weapons, they pose no threat. ICE is the enemy. 1/2

Congressman Jared Moskowitz just brilliantly trolled Kristi Noem by reading aloud from her memoir about the time she murdered her dog — and he did it during a markup for a bill about deporting migrants for harming animals.

Too many people have forgotten how the ACA allowed millions to get coverage who could not get health insurance before it became law. My wife had a pre-existing condition, and could not get medical insurance. She's been covered since the ACA passed.

The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

Khanna: "The speaker looked frazzled last night. I think he's totally lost it. He's attacking the bill and he's not showing up to hear the survivors. The survivors wanted this bill. Then he's voting for a bill he criticized. And he's lost the confidence of half the people in his own caucus."

Speaking truth can be liberating, and it’s clear Massie is enjoying his freedom.
Massie: “[Speaker Johnson is] trying to say the rich, powerful men who flew to Epstein Island are the victims now. The only way a ‘Christian man’ can stand up there and sell a lie like that is if he’s already decided in his head that protecting them is somehow okay.”
