What is a nation supposed to do when its leader is publicly committing impeachable offenses on a daily basis and the impeachment process is utterly broken due to slightly more than half of the nation's Congress being members of a cult dedicated to destroying rule of law

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding.
Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.
They are going after the January 6 committee members. Biden pardoned them from any future prosecution. First, they claimed it wasn't valid because an autopen was used. Now they are going after the people that operated the autopen.

I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver.
This is a political stunt—point blank.
GOP budget talks are breaking down because they can’t agree on legislation that starts killing their voters immediately or delays it until 2029, when a different president will take the fall for it.
The impasse is over timing. Not the crime.
New endorsements 🚨 Proud to be supported by these Nebraska education leaders!

Tulsi Gabbard's Chief of Staff told a top intelligence analyst to rewrite a report to claim that Venezuela' government directed Tren de Aragua to commit crimes in the U.S. -
so the report would support using the Alien Enemies Act to avoid due process.

Moody’s also downgraded the USA bond rating. Why at we spending money on a military parade? Weekend golf? Gilding the White House?
More waste from the biggest fraud who’s committing the most abuse.
I refuse to get distracted by trivialities like this when new stories are breaking about Biden struggling through a 2023 interview.

The GOP's "big, beautiful bill" makes devastating cuts to social programs but leaves this loophole intact — despite Trump promising to end it.
Priorities.

My daughter's speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I'm going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services

It’s 2 am and we’re still marking up massive cuts to Medicaid.
While their constituents are asleep, Republicans are trying to take away health care from 13.7 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
They want you to tune out. Don’t ⬇️

Omaha is as purple.
We voted for Biden and Harris. At the same time, Stothert and Bacon won their seats.
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway events were here last weekend. There were panhandlers in the medians.
We want the promise of "the good life", law and order, and WE DON'T PUNCH DOWN.
Pete Ricketts threw his money and his dirty tricks against Mr Ewing and accomplished an “Elon” (this political move is considered dangerous to the oligarchians). WTG OMAHA!! Let’s vote Pete out of office next!!!

A “conflict of interest” sounds like an unfortunate situation where Trump might choose his own interests over the nation’s.
But Trump isn’t conflicted about anything.
He's the most corrupt president in American history.
