So this is the GOP healthcare plans? All we have to do is personally beg the president for healthcare and hope he sees our tweets. Gotcha. I’m sure that will be very equitable and effective 😞
Among the many amazing things about Adams pleading his case here is that he openly supports and now is asking for help from… people who cancelled funding for cancer research.
Healthcare but only for my friends

What do you have to do to a person to make them behave like this? What brings a person to a point in their life where they’re gleefully inflicting lawless, unjust violence like this?
ICE officers stopped a family at gunpoint and smashed the car window on top of the newborn baby. “I was screaming that there was a baby,” cried the mother. “But they didn’t care,” and covered the baby with their bodies, fearing that the glass would hurt him.

i have no idea how we get *out* of a shutdown, but i do not think that cocooning yourself in AI slop videos and refusing to leave your room is an effective way to win the politics of a shutdown

If it’s the Golden Age & everything is great & the economy is booming & Trump has ended all wars & slayed inflation & everyone is happy & drug prices are down & his approval is at 71% & everyone hates Dems, why would they need to do mid-decade gerrymandering to hold the House?

Newsmax's Greg Kelly on Ghislaine Maxwell: "There's something else going on here. It's an injustice ... people are horrified when I say that this individual just might be innocent. But think about it. Who told us about her? The most reviled institutions in America. The media and the Biden DOJ."

This! The annual budget for USAID was less than the budget increase Congress is requesting for ICE. It was never about the money. MAGA is cruel and evil.
There is not a single person in the Democratic Party who is treating the death of USAID with the gravity it deserves. There’s no political issue more important than the death of 14 million people, but they’re just delivering boilerplate condemnations and nothing more.

I'm going to re-up this.
Lisa Murkowski just gave a two-minute, unintentional master-class in why the GOP of the MAGA era will be studied forever in chronicles of cowardice.
These are the two minutes she should be remembered for.
(She could have stopped this bill.)
