As the Trump shutdown drags into its third week, it's clear Republicans are so committed to raising people's health care costs that they're willing to hold the country hostage to do it.

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

Bernie and AOC rocked Bakersfield. Not a Trump trash fest but offered solutions. Keep up your boycotts and make those phone calls. Promote overturning Republicans in the mids.

Breaking: National security adviser Mike Waltz's team set up at least 20 Signal chats to discuss official work on issues including Ukraine, China, Gaza and more, according to sources who've been personally added to the chats.
Waltz’s team set up at least 20 Signal group chats for crises across the world
It’s a more extensive use of the app than previously reported and sheds new light on how commonly the Trump administration’s national security team relies on Signal.

Ronald Reagan has a message for MAGA as Trump declares trade wars against our allies:

“We should beware of the demagogues who are willing to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy,our national security, and the entire free world, all while cynically waving the American flag”

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

Under Trump's leadership, the US took Russia's side at the UN, opposing a resolution acknowledging Russia’s responsibility for the war.

@gallego.senate.gov and I rushed to the floor to force the Senate to condemn this betrayal of our ally.

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”?

But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"?

Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.
