We're past the 11-hour mark, on the second day of the Ways and Means markup of Republicans' tax cut for the rich.
Dems offered amendments to protect your health care, stop Trump's trade war, and expand the Child Tax Credit.
Republicans voted them all down. We're fighting on.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

It’s very strange that this article on the staffing issues at Newark Airport doesn’t mention the fact that DOGE fired 400 FAA employees a few months ago, and union officials warned about exactly these kinds of shortages.

Pundits are saying that felon 47’s deportation of illegals is a precursor to deportation of citizens. I agree. This buffoon has made a mockery of equal justice for all. Instead it - get rid of people who disagree with him. A narcissistic sociopath without much intelligence or common sense.
