EXCLUSIVE: Jamie Raskin just exposed Trump’s plans to launch a fund for the “victims” of January 6 - but he means the violent thugs who attacked our Capitol. “That fund should go to the 140 officers and their families who were wounded.” Trump is rewarding traitors. This is SICK.

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?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
