Someone came to the campaign office today to harass @katmabu.bsky.social. I saw Kat not only show care & empathy for them, but when advised to lock the door, she flatly refused because she didn’t want people not to receive the resources they need. These women had their benefits cut & Kat helped them

I’ve got a piece in the @nytimes.com this morning on the Supreme Court’s quiet but radical shadow-docket order last week handing Trump yet another tool to eliminate independent expertise & authority and consolidate presidential control over the executive branch

The house has passed a ban on coverage of gender care for all ages under Medicaid, CHIP and ACA plans. I don't know what to say to anyone this morning other than that the hundreds of thousands of people who are about to lose access to the care they need to stay alive deserve better than silence.

Democrats in 2024: Trump will push 10s of millions off of Medicaid if he wins

Corporate Media: Democrats are liars, Trump promises not to cut anyone from Medicaid if he wins

<Trump wins and cuts 13.7 million off of Medicaid>

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

Reporters who ran with ‘Trump vows to protect Medicaid’ or ‘Trump considers taxing the rich’ in the past few weeks should seriously reconsider whether their job is journalism or stenography.

Really can’t get over the fact that Trump is trying to score a $400 million luxury jet for himself on the same day his party announces a budget that’d rip health insurance from 13.7 million Americans.

This is such good news.
Judge Session: I see no evidence of risk or danger of any kind. The court orders ICE to release Rümeysa Öztürk from custody IMMEDIATELY. She is free to return to her home in Massachusetts. Also free to travel within Mass and VT. I'm not going to restrict her travel, because I see no danger of flight

Trump committed a crime today. Interesting to think about whether even the Court that decided Trump v US would create immunity from a federal statute that by its terms applies criminal liability directly to sitting presidents.

60 Minutes“could not find criminal records” for 75% of the 238 men the Trump admin sent to a Salvadoran prison. Of the 22% that had records, the “vast majority are for non-violent offenses.” Trump admin still insists they’re “terrorists.”

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.
