So the plan is not to give money to the insurance companies it is to give money to the people to give money to the insurance companies. I see. You’re a genius, Mr President, and may I say sir, you’re looking very young and handsome today.
Does "no insurance" even qualify as the concepts of a plan

Lol just heard the NPR story about the DOGE guy who lost his job when he said he was surprised at how hard it was to find inefficiencies in the federal govt because he came from Silicon Valley where companies always have lots of people sitting around doing nothing

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.

He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.
🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

"the plan to shrink IRS staff by up to 50% would — very conservatively — lead to a $400 billion increase in uncollected taxes over the next decade. It could easily mean more than $2 trillion in losses..."

Opinion | DOGE says it’s saving $100 billion. It’s about to lose a lot more.
Cuts to the IRS will backfire by giving tax evaders a free pass.

Tim Miller raised some very challenging issues - Russia to the state of the VA - and it was great to have this conversation with him on @thebulwark.bsky.social
"To throw something directly at the entire European Union, it just represents a big hand, little map approach to national security."

@markhertling.bsky.social talks Trump's trade policies, such as they are, with Tim Miller on today's Bulwark Podcast:

Putin has been named a war criminal because of the Russian way of war in Ukraine—bombing Kyiv and other cities, attacking civilians and first aid workers, and destroying infrastructure.

"The Hague has said, Putin is a war criminal....And if that's the fact, if we're giving them an advantage, then we do become complicit in their war crimes, and maybe even accessories to, the act."

This should scare everyone. The Trump admin revoked Mahmoud’s legal status, kidnapped him, and is now holding him in an ICE detention facility without any due process.

Trump is an authoritarian, testing the limits to see how much he can get away with. He won’t stop here.

Remember when LeBron wanted Daryl Morey reprimanded for supporting Hong Kong protests?? That shit was wild. That was wrong. The way MAGA is propping up Russia and Putin is on another level of wrong. I’m consistent in my support for the oppressed nations and their invaders.

Couldn’t happen to a better guy…

Single handedly, with his MAGA acolytes, he’s in the process of undoing the best economy in the world.

The economy does have a weak point, INEQUALITY, which has existed for 40+ yrs due to GOP policies on tax cuts & support of oligarchs instead of regular Americans.

Cutting off humanitarian aid to millions of civilians is a war crime. That is exactly what the extremist Netanyahu government is doing now to Palestinians in Gaza.

I’ve introduced resolutions to block billions in offensive arms sales to Israel & will demand votes on these bills.

Growing number of experts say that Trump is providing Russia with intelligence against Ukraine. Russian forces in Kursk miraculously had extremely precise coordinates for Ukrainian troop locations, logistics and ammo depots in Kursk after Trump cut off aid. A day before Russia was on the back foot.
