Medicaid is a lifeline.
But don’t just take it from me—take it from the single mother in Newark who wrote to me: if her daughter loses Medicaid, which pays for her medicine, she will die.
If Americans lose their lifesaving care, my colleagues across the aisle will be to blame.

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

They continue to violate a court order to retrieve someone they illegally deported.
We’re now well beyond a constitutional crisis. If they’re allowed to do this, their secret police can sweep up anyone, for any reason, deport them & refuse to bring them back.
That would be the end of democracy.

We opted to join Bainbridge Island’s rally, which had well over 1K+ protestors. One of the speakers we heard was a Japanese American internee who, in 1942, was removed from Bainbridge Island to an internment camp with her family. Her closing words:
“Never again is now.”
“Never again is now.”

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.

Mike Waltz has now decided to roll out the story that Jeffrey Goldberg somehow hacked his way into their Signal chat.
Just admitting a mistake and apologizing seems like a lot less work than lying and peddling a half dozen different conspiracies.

The White House is saying the information shared in the Signal group chat was “not classified.”
They’re lying. Those who’ve served in uniform know it would’ve been classified. We’re calling for an investigation and accountability.

Wow- in response to questioning from Sen. Jack Reed, Tulsi Gabbard just testified that she was overseas while participating in the signal chat on bombing Yemen. He followed up by asking whether she was using a personal phone for the conversation and she refused to answer. Seems bad!
