Hospice home health aide I love cats. I’m very upset that the orange one is now president and I’m working hard to get a handle on my inattentive ADHD symptoms.

Trump signs bill with harsher penalties for dealers of fentanyl variants
The legislation does not extend to addiction treatment, which the Trump administration has cut in its broader quest to curb federal spending.

Attention: Musk’s staffers are now seeking access to a sensitive Medicare database as part of their crackdown on undocumented immigrants. DOGE was never about saving the U.S. money—it’s about building a government-run machine to weaponize personal data.

AOC: Some of the Republicans whose districts we visited just warned their leadership that they’re not sure they can vote for Medicaid cuts now.
We’ve got them on their back foot. But our job is not done.
We will rally every corner of the U.S.
We will not stop until they actually vote no.

Talk of disappearing anyone into gulags in El Salvador is an affront to our Constitution. We need a few Republicans members to find the spine to join House Democrats in impeachment proceedings against the Fascist-in-Chief.

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance.
Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
