Q: "Do you think President Trump should accept a military aircraft from Qatar?"

Pence: "We gotta remember who Qatar is...They support Hamas. They supported Al Qaueda. Qatar has actually financed pro-Hamas protests...My hope is the president reconsiders it."

The “big, beautiful bill” would make millions of Americans sicker and poorer—especially our kids. Less food, less housing, less education. All for tax cuts for the rich. - @aft.org President @rweingarten.bsky.social. Read her latest column here: www.aft.org/column/big-b...

Another cause for alarm is the Republicans’ budget that slashes spending on education, SNAP food assistance and Medicaid- critical services Americans rely on-to pay for $4.5 trillion in tax cuts. Tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans at the expense of America’s children

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

This is about “Power and Money.”
"Do not lose hope", says @mariaressa.bsky.social to journalists who continue to report the truth even in the hard times of a corrupt government. "Collaborate, collaborate, collaborate. Reach across. Stand by your values."

And most important: "Hold the line."
