The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Am I the last to know? The Qatar jet offered to Trump turns out to be an item unsuccessfully for sale since 2020. The "gift" is not only a Trump grift, but also an attempted scam on the US taxpayer, who will assume costs the owners no longer wish to pay. onemileatatime.com/qatari-royal...

For months, Democrats have agonized over how to respond to Trump’s immigration policy.

But speaking up for Garcia would be the right thing to do, even if it wasn’t good politics: it's a perfect example of Trump's lawlessness, incompetence & disregard for basic humanity.

WOW. The Trump administration's efforts to punish immigrants by abusing the Social Security database ended up leading to a U.S. citizen being kicked off of Social Security because they accused him of being undocumented!

When Trump and Musk tout how much money they're saving by gutting cancer research and Social Security services, know this:

Their IRS cuts will cost $500 billion in tax revenue just this year. That's more than half the Defense budget.
