This was today. Fitzpatrick is currently one of 4 voting against the rule. Pressure works. Don’t let up.

Every one of these deaths is on the hands of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio. History should never forget.

They all died when the U.S. stopped sending medicine to Sudan.

The energy provisions in the Republicans' One Big Horrible Bill are truly so bad! Who wants this? The country's automakers don't want it. Electric utilities don't want it. Data center developers don't want it. Manufacturers in energy intensive industries don't want it. 🔌💡

I am glad that today the governor signed a new law repealing New York's ban on providing food and water to people waiting in line to vote. However, it should be clearly noted that this was the result of successful litigation brought by the Brooklyn NAACP -- which the state fought and lost in court.

I think babies dying in their sleep is bad, and research to prevent babies from dying in their sleep is good.

Sorry to get so partisan, and I apologize for offending any pro-life people when I say that babies suddenly dying in preventable ways is bad, but that's how I feel.

Waiting for Trump’s deals…

Waiting for Trump’s Big, Beautiful Deals
Whether a trade pact with China or a peace accord with Russia, the President doesn’t seem to know what he’s actually asking for, never mind how to actually achieve it.

A federal judge in Maryland ordered the Trump administration to take steps to seek the return of a 20-year-old Venezuelan man who was deported to El Salvador last month, ruling that his removal violated a previous court settlement intended to protect young migrants with pending asylum cases.
Judge Orders Administration to Seek Return of Another Deported Migrant
The case, involving a 20-year-old Venezuelan, comes on the heels of another legal battle over the fate of a different man wrongfully sent to El Salvador by the Trump administration.

So the White House story is now:

“We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.”

The country is now run by thugs and idiots.

I don't use "impeachment" lightly. Aside from Trump, Marco Rubio **PIPED UP** to endorse flouting a court order, and said the only person who can make foreign policy is the president, which is incorrect in more ways than he can count. High crimes, dereliction of duty, constitutionally illiterate.
Absolutely not an exaggeration. High crimes and misdemeanors committed and endorsed in the Oval Office on live television.
The president is conducting a press event with the primary purpose of flouting the decisions of the courts and the letter and spirit of U.S. law. It is a press event to celebrate the Constitutional crisis and serial violation of human rights he has set in motion.
