Senate Republicans propose deeper Medicaid cuts. Here’s what that means. Senate Republicans are taking Medicaid cuts even further than their House counterparts with legislation that targets hospital payments.

Senate Republicans' one-finger salute to rural America:

"Hospital networks said they may reduce pediatric, maternity or behavioral health services; end telehealth programs; close rural facilities; or enact layoffs if the Medicaid cuts become law..."

Judge REYES on a tear, telling DOJ she won't be "gaslit" by effort to say their ban on transgender people in the military isn't actually a "ban."

She notes SecDef Hegseth literally called it a ban on X.

"You're saying one thing in public. You're saying a different thing in court," Reyes said.

Traitorous scumbags — every last one of them.

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no."

This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

No such thing as a "Republican Town Meeting". The rep may be a Republican or Democrat, but he is elected, sworn, and paid to represent his whole district.

Go ski in Russia is king shit.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Six Fired Federal Workers Temporarily Reinstated by Review Board The decision could apply more broadly to thousands of other government employees who were fired because they were on probationary status and relatively new in their positions.

Six fired federal workers will be temporarily reinstated after a decision this week by the Merit Systems Protection Board, the first step toward what lawyers representing fired employees hope will be the restoration of thousands of jobs cut by the Trump administration.

Tragically, the Measles outbreak will almost certainly expand

Even worse, with anti-vax, anti-science, conspiracy theory superspreader RFK, Jr in charge of Health and Human Services

More outbreaks of other diseases will surely occur

Meaning more people are likely to die

Three different federal judges delivered legal setbacks and slap downs to Trump in the span of an hour and a half today in a series of cases challenging controversial moves taken during the early days of his second term. The rulings are the latest to pump the brakes on Trump’s agenda.

The world’s richest man who no one elected just walked into the US Treasury, stole your Social Security number, and Trump let him. You deserve to know why this is happening - call your member of Congress and Senators (202) 224-3121 and ask why.

Nobody should leave without a hearing.

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

JUST IN: Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he is canceling a $68 million contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink internet services in response to Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada.

“Ontario won’t do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy,” Ford said.

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms.

The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

Paramount in Settlement Talks With Trump Over ‘60 Minutes’ Lawsuit A settlement, if reached, would be an extraordinary concession by a major U.S. media company to a sitting president.

These are not “settlements” they are “bribes” and should be described accurately. The reporting even explains that CBS executives believe this payment will help avert Trump blocking their merger. Thats a bribe. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/b...

Well this spells out what he's going after next.

Dept of Education is up next on the chopping block.

Well, she has blonde hair, a cross, repeats her talking points relentlessly, and has the all-important hair-toss down pat. Eminently qualified.

Shit is about to get real. The consequences of this widespread refusal to disburse funds allocated by Congress will create a crisis at the constitutional, federal, state, local, and, in many cases, personal level.

FACT CHECK from the California Department of Water Resources:

“The military did not enter California. The federal government restarted federal water pumps after they were offline for maintenance for three days. State water supplies in Southern California remain plentiful.”

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is.

Know your rights. Pass these around…

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.

Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

WELKER: Do you think Trump violated the law?

LINDSEY GRAHAM: Well, technically, yeah

Schiff: "When Mike Johnson's state was hit by Katrina, I fought to get aid ... California has given more to the recovery of other states than any other state in the union. You do not want to go down this road."
