BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.
Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

On this Easter Sunday, let's not overlook the raging hypocrisy of America's faithful, celebrating the resurrection of Christ while simultaneously celebrating Trump's sentencing millions of people to death through his heartless and senseless aid cuts.

Interesting reading. It seems like a foregone conclusion that Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act. Don't take the bait and freak out right away.

Nothing is more appropriate than Sen. Cory Booker breaking Strom Thurmond's record for longest speech in Senate history. One trying to obstruct civil rights legislation and the other fighting for justice, progress, and ALL Americans. This is a moral moment, America. What side of history are you on?

As a percentage, that's much lower than the 1.4 billion in assets that reportedly went missing on the Tesla balance sheet just last week." - @wyden.senate.gov

What are the odds this is effectively the end of America? Trump is a Russian asset & Musk is a Nazi and Putin fanboy. Russia has been hacking into US companies & infrastructure for years. Now they have keys to the kingdom, access from inside. Feels like we may be in for some dark and trying times.
