CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax
This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

This should be the moment where Republicans take stock. Trump is deeply unwell. His health is declining. He embarrassed the country today. He’s not capable of doing the job. We are here now. No bullshit.
Here are two minutes of lowlights from Trump’s rambling, hour-long address to the UN General Assembly that Twitter is calling one of the most embarrassing moments in recent US history.

A couple weeks ago, these blowdried chucklefucks were "joking" about how they should reclaim the word Nazi and now they're "joking" about blowing up the UN or gassing the foreign leaders inside.
But they didn't say anything questionable about Charlie Kirk, so no big deal.

I am pleased to report that Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins has dropped another total evisceration of the Supreme Court.
He says originalism is a fraud—and the Republican justices are shamelessly making up facts and history to impose radical Christian nationalism: slate.com/news-and-pol...

Race wars. That’s what they wanted.
IDK why this didn’t occur to me sooner. It’s so obvious.
A segment of the far-right saw Charlie Kirk’s death as their chance to light the fuse and push the race war they have been chasing for years.

There it is👇Alex deGrasse tells Steve Bannon how Trump and MAGA Republicans plan to steal the 2026 midterms. It’s a three pronged approach: 1. Rig-Districting 2. A new census brought on by executive order and 3. SCOTUS overturns the Voting Rights Act. Now you know the plan! Fight accordingly ‼️

I am looking for congressional leaders to come out quickly and forcefully against this. We need unequivocal opposition. We need theatric demonstrations of defiance. We need to see leadership. Trump will steamroll us all if we display weakness. Where are our leaders?
An act of war weeks in planning but unauthorized by Congress against a country that Trump's own director of intelligence testified under oath was not close to getting a nuclear weapon.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

ICE orders critically sick 4 year old girl to deport—doctors say she "will die" if forced to leave hospital.
She entered U.S. legally in 2023 on humanitarian grounds—Trump just revoked that.
"Doctors have said unequivocally said this child will die in a matter of days," said the family's lawyer.
