Republicans swore they weren’t cutting Medicaid. Now even Fox is admitting 13.7 million people will lose coverage. The cruelty isn’t a bug — it’s the whole plan.

I’ve watched too many of these raids to count. This one is one of the most infuriating in recent memory.
Appropriate that we learn about it on the same day SCOTUS hears oral arguments for a case that may remove the last remaining way to hold federal agents accountable for this kind of terror.

Here’s a quick explainer on the Tijuana River sewage crisis. I’ve been on this since 2019—securing hundreds of millions in federal funds to fix it. We don’t need dangerous gimmicks—we need shovels in the ground on real solutions.

AOC: Some of the Republicans whose districts we visited just warned their leadership that they’re not sure they can vote for Medicaid cuts now.
We’ve got them on their back foot. But our job is not done.
We will rally every corner of the U.S.
We will not stop until they actually vote no.

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror

Senator Cory Booker -- nearly 23 hrs into this -- is more coherent than your average elected official speaking (while seated) at an average legislative hearing.

Republican lawmakers shouldn’t be begging Trump and DOGE to spare their districts from cuts. We’re a co-equal branch with the power of the purse. If they oppose the cuts, they should stand up for Article I of the Constitution—not grovel for exceptions.
Forgoing Oversight, Republicans Resort to Personal Appeals to Head Off DOGE Cuts
