Mitch Landrieu: "I can't for the life of me think about why anybody in America thinks it's fair to give the wealthiest people in the country—who really don't need it—a tax break at the expense of taking life saving health care away from millions of Americans."

Tariffs were NEVER going to “bring manufacturing back to the US.” There are many reasons, including:
•Even with tariffs, US labor is prohibitively expensive
•America’s supply chain isn’t ready
•Most Americans don’t want to do manufacturing jobs
•Not enough unemployed workers to fill new factories
•Even with tariffs, US labor is prohibitively expensive

Weather and climate research funds are being “chainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election.
Wondering if residents there knew in advance this would happen.

Trump said he would cut costs, but 100 days in, federal spending has actually increased. Meanwhile, essential services are being gutted and Americans are footing the bill for Trump’s grift.

No actually. There's law in war. There are rules. You don't get to carpet bomb civilian populations and then chalk it up to "war sucks." That's literally why they're called "war crimes."

People understand that the Democrats can’t stop every bad thing from happening. But they’re also scared and angry and want leaders who will stand up and fight with everything they’ve got. Do more of that and we’ll win more elections.

Elon Musk’s promised savings from his DOGE operation has shrunk from $2 trillion to what he now claims is $150 billion, or just 7.5% of the amount initially promised. Now, new estimates suggest his cost-cutting crusade might actually end up costing MORE than what he claims to have saved taxpayers.

Because he and a few billionaires got a little richer.

This is the most comprehensive article I've found.
"Legal experts are dubious that the judge's actions constitute a crime, with intent being a key factor.
Experts raise concerns about ICE's presence in courthouses potentially deterring residents from accessing services."
