Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The Senate Democrats!

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

The government is putting more and more pressure on journalists reporting on ICE.

We all must speak out against these chilling tactics.
ICE wants to work in secret. We shouldn’t let it
Journalism about ICE is increasingly under attack by officials who prefer government propaganda

To vote for this bill is to vote to starve and kill Americans, and to saddle those who survive with a mountain of debt and a hotter globe. That is a policy choice. And everyone who votes yes owns that choice.

1. The Trump administration is about to release it's own anti-science "Cass Review," a sham review with pseudoscience that will be used to justify sweeping crackdowns on trans care in the United States.

No experts are involved in its drafting.

The review is expected by insiders to establish new standards of care to justify state bans, with no expert participation in its crafting.

I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.

We need to work to organize strong primary challenges against every one of these cowards and make sure @schumer.senate.gov never sees a political office as a Democrat ever again. Imbeciles.

1. A Federal Judge has blocked Trump's under 19 trans care ban nationwide.

In the decision, he slams the Government's reliance on the Cass Review, jeopardizes youth health, and likely violates several constitutional principles.
