YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren Republicans would rather keep the government shut down than lower YOUR health care costs

@warnock.senate.gov is exactly right. Families can't afford their health insurance premiums quadrupling.

Republicans would rather keep the government shut down than lower YOUR health care costs.

The health care tax credit is a big deal. Without it:

4 million people lose their health insurance

Premiums double for more than 20 million Americans

One example: An older couple making $85K could see their premiums skyrocket to $25K per year—almost 30% of their income.

Pam Bondi won't say what happened to the $50,000 in taxpayer money that border czar Tom Homan pocketed in an FBI undercover investigation that the Trump regime dropped.
We don't even know if Homan paid taxes on the ill-gotten $50,000.
Crime is no longer against the law with these crooks in charge.

A major immigration raid in Chicago last week led to dozens of arrests, including of green card holders and U.S. citizens. While the Trump administration has released a highly produced video of the raid, it still has not answered basic questions about the operation.

This strikes me as pretty bad

Don’t think these Texas National Guard guys are going to be chasing any immigrants around Chicago on foot

500 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics are at risk of closing because of the Trump-Republican big, ugly bill. Many are in rural areas.

Meanwhile, Republican-held US House districts and states Trump won in 2024 rely more on ACA coverage.

They're selling out their own voters.

These ICE agents are out of control in Chicago. This one’s aiming a loaded weapon at a woman just for filming him as he hunts immigrants in broad daylight. This shit is beyond fucked up—and it’s only a matter of time before one of these losers pulls the trigger.

Trump Administration Eases Application Process and Lowers Wages for Guest Farmworkers United Farm Workers said the shifts will hurt both migrant and domestic farmworkers. Farm groups praised the changes.

Some folks have reported experiencing extended nausea and dizziness since being tear gassed in Brighton Park on Saturday. General reminder to seek medical care even if you think you can tough it out—document it all and start a paper trail. You never know if you may need it.

After threatening that furloughed federal workers might not receive backpay after all, Mike Johnson tries to clarify that *of course* he thinks they *should* get backpay.

A postcard with purple flowers says “Be a Voter” on one side. The other side has the message Vote YES to keep judges who protect democracy and reproductive freedom. Retain Supreme, Superior, and Commonwealth court judges who follow the law. Some of these Nov. 4 races may be on the back of your ballot. Vote YES to keep judges who: - follow the constitution not the demands of right wing billionaires - voted to secure reproductive freedom - ruled on equitable distribution of funding for every school district

Help spread the word! Judicial retention is on the ballot in PA this November - voting yes to #KeepFairJudges means voters have a voice in safeguarding the fairness of Pennsylvania's judiciary and protecting democracy. Voting truly is a superpower ! #PostcardsToVoters

Still so many campaigns that need our help!!!! One way is to write #PostcardsToVoters with us!! PostcardsToVoters.org

3/Now switch to US town. Same scene. Then ICE Vans pull up: masked men seize coloured children, zip-tie them until they sort out who to take & throw some in back of vans. A girl is snatched from the boyfriend she has just been kissing. He is beaten to the ground trying to defend her. (cont)

Bondi is alternating between attacking Democratic senator when they ask her tough questions and punting them to Kash Patel (even though she's his boss)

One trademark of the second Trump administration is the open and seething contempt that his Cabinet officials have for Congress. They don't see elected officials or their oversight function as legitimate.
(see also RFK Jr, Kash Patel).
