Yeah, @nytimes.com I’m not listening to a podcast about Laura Loomer. Not sure how being an openly racists Islamophobe is news. They lost me at her “origin story” of hating Muslim people after 9/11 when she was 8. #bsfr

Here’s what you need to understand about the Big Ugly Bill: even if you won’t lose your Medicaid, it still could cost you your healthcare. Rural and urban hospitals rely on Medicaid—and without it, they could shut down.

I’m old enough to remember when a president would have never dropped an f bomb in public. Jimmy Carter would never.
President Trump lashed out at Israel and Iran on Tuesday for launching attacks after he had announced a cease-fire. Iran denied violating the truce and Israel’s retaliation appeared limited, suggesting that the deal remained intact for now. Follow live updates. https://trib.al/E3TeKfv

Friendly reminder that Joann Fabrics isn’t closing because it’s a bad business. It’s closing bc it was bought by a private equity firm. This is also what is happening to Hooters and what happened to US Toys R Us and Red Lobster. These companies are being dismantled intentionally.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.
