WE HAVE QUESTIONS…

This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?

ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants.

How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

On CNBC today, Elizabeth Warren had to explain to anchor Sara Eisen that Congress can in fact take away Trump's tariffs authority, and also that America is not ruled by a king who can make laws by decree.

Rep. Lawler has been cheering on DOGE's wilding spree and now his constituents are paying the price.

If this is really the Senate D plan, it's a joke. Come on, @schumer.senate.gov, this is too clever by half.

The test is this: If you don't use your power to stop the Trump-Musk reign of lawbreaking and destruction, and instead facilitate it, you've failed. This plan could end up doing the latter.

My friend Congressman Mike Lawler has promised to save Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid from ANY cuts to benefits. He's also taken more than $1M from Musk. I don't envy him, but I'm sure he'll choose his constituents over his donor. Reporters should ask him.
Elon Musk says he wants to “eliminate” programs like Social Security and Medicare: “Entitlements... That’s the big one to eliminate”

@aoc.bsky.social: "They're saying cut $880 billion from the Energy & Commerce Committee. I sit on that committee. Almost the entire budget that Energy & Commerce explores is Medicaid and Medicare. There is no way they can make their math square without enormous and devastating cuts to Medicaid."

New in PN: Trump’s "Crypto Reserve" is a world historical grift

"The boondoggle is so clumsy it barely feels like a scam. Instead, it functions as an open declaration of Trump’s contempt for the public & his office. If you wondered what living in an authoritarian kleptocracy is like, this is it."

Trump just helped bring Andrew Tate — who is literally charged with rape and human trafficking — into our country.

There it is: Speaker of the House says Elon has already started running your Social Security through his AI.
Mike Johnson on Elon Musk: "We meet late into the night in his office and we've looked at that. What he's finding with his algorithms crawling through the data of Social Security system is enormous amounts of fraud, waste, and abuse."

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Horrific: One of the USAID programs Trump just terminated was set to deliver lifesaving treatment to hundreds of thousands of starving kids abroad. Much of it is now sitting in a Georgia warehouse.

Rubio's promise to preserve urgent assistance was a lie.

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.

“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"

Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

Impeach.
NEW:

“Kennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.”

Millions of dead people are not on social security. That is a lie.

But they won’t stop telling it.
Trump: "We have a very corrupt country. Very corrupt country. And it's a sad thing to say ... if you take all of those millions of people off social security, all of the sudden we have a very powerful social security."

I can’t say I’ve thought about inflation that much since the US Attorney in the district you and I both live in had to resign because the President wanted to make a corrupt deal with the Mayor, backed by the threat of a dangling DOJ prosecution, to terrorize immigrants and people of color here.
Inflation is the number one issue on people’s minds.

It was the biggest issue during the election.

And already Donald Trump is breaking his promise to do something about it.
