We'll see if at least Susan Collins of Maine, who is always "concerned" about everything but never actually DOES anything about it, will act to protect her own state. If she does, will any other Republican Senators show any backbone? Doubtful... bluevirginia.us/2025/03/vide...

So much for Trump's promise to bring down inflation on day 1. Of course, Trump will blame it on Biden, but the bottom line is that this is was an absurd promise and is already shattered (Trump's tariffs will make it even worse!). bluevirginia.us/2025/02/wedn...

So proud of our Democratic members of Congress, right now! They’re being blocked from the Dept. of Education—and they’re not having it.

Seeing Auntie Maxine ready to fight for our kids warms my soul. She hasn’t changed. Waters isn’t my congresswoman, but we love her in this house!

Funny how those in right-wing media spun endless conspiracy webs about Biden being “compromised” over Hunter’s business deals, yet Elon Musk — swimming in foreign ties, gov't contracts, and so much more — gets a free pass. Did they all suddenly run out of red string?

This is not business as usual. Elected Democrats need to stand up. I did my best today to bring that urgency to the floor of the Georgia State Senate.

It's financially irresponsible to develop a Sovereign Wealth Fund when the nation is in so much debt. Any surplus funds should go to pay down the debt and reduce the interest owed by the taxpayer.

Seems more like a place to collect bribes and embezzle funds

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked.

The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.”

This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

A bunch of red states just filed a brief opposing birthright citizenship. They claim they’re harmed because they have to provide health care to undocumented mothers and their babies—and don’t want to because it’s expensive. All of them claim to be pro-life. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Attracting illegal aliens to give birth in America imposes significant costs on all States, including Amici States. For example, between 225,000 to 250,000 U.S. births in 2023—about 7% of all births in the United States, and more than births in any State besides Texas or California-were to illegal immigrants. Michael Dorgan, Up to 250,000 Children Born to Illegal Migrants in 2023: Preliminary Report, Fox News, Jan. 25, 2025. https://perma.cc/PSHW-AYXN. In Texas and Georgia, "three-fourths of births to illegal immigrants were likely paid for by taxpayers." Steven A. Camarota et al., Births to Legal and Illegal Immigrants in the U.S., CENTER FOR IMMIGRATION STUDIES (Oct. 9, 2018), https://bit.ly/4jxah3C. In total, States pay an estimated $938 million in Medicaid costs for births to illegal aliens. The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers 2023, FEDERATION FOR AMERICAN IMMIGRATION REFORM (2024), at 47, https://perma.cc/293X-4DY9. States bear many costs associated with births to illegal aliens. For example, Texas estimates that perinatal coverage for illegal aliens through the Children's Health Insurance Program costs between $30 million and $38 million. AG Paxton: Illegal Immigration Costs Texas Taxpayers Over $850 Million Each Year, OFFICE OF THE TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL (Mar. 31, 2021), https://perma.cc/3FU5-F3LU. And because the mother and any other family members accompanying the new baby often stay in the United States, States end up paying for their health care as well. Texas estimates that its people pay as much as $700 million each year "for public hospital districts to provide uncompensated care for illegal aliens," and up to $90 million "to include illegal aliens in the state Emergency Medicaid program." Id. Over the course of their lives, each illegal immigrant in this country imposes an estimated "lifetime fiscal drain (taxes paid minus costs)" of $68,000. Testimony of Steven A. Camarota, The Cost of Illegal Immigration to Taxpayers, "The Impact of Illegal Immigration on Social Services," Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Subcommittee of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, Jan. 11, 2024, at 2, https://perma.cc/Rssss6VP-GWBE.

A coalition led by ACLU and Lambda Legal have filed a lawsuit against Trump's executive order withholding federal funds from any institution that provides gender-affirming care to transgender people age 19 and under, calling the order "unlawful and unconstitutional." assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...
Plaintiffs Gabe Goe, Bella Boe, Cameron Coe, Robert Roe, and W.G. (the “Minor Plaintiffs”), Plaintiffs Lawrence Loe and Dylan Doe (the “Adult Plaintiffs”), and certain PFLAG members are transgender people under the age of nineteen who have been thriving because they have had access to medically necessary treatment for their gender dysphoria (collectively, the “Transgender Plaintiffs”). President Donald Trump, through the Denial of Care and Gender Identity Orders, unilaterally seeks to terminate access to this health care immediately by directing agencies to withhold funding from entities that “promote gender ideology” or provide medical care to transgender people under nineteen for the purpose of gender transition. 5. These Executive Orders are unlawful and unconstitutional. Under our Constitution, it is Congress, not the President, who is vested with the power of the purse. The President does not have unilateral power to withhold federal funds that have been previously authorized by Congress and signed into law, and the President does not have the power to impose his own conditions on the use of funds when Congress has not delegated to him the power to do so.

If people don't get HIV meds, they're likely to get full blown AIDS. Not only can these epidemics return, but, as we learned from COViID, viruses create new variants that may evade the medicines our scientists spent such painstaking time developing.
