Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

I don't want to hear any "the Dems didn't fight" bullshit on this one. So much horrible shit got taken out of this nightmare. It's still an atrocity, but they went to the wall to get stuff out.

CONFIRMED: The budget bill includes a $3.8 trillion deficit increase, $698 billion less for Medicaid, and $267 billion less for SNAP.

NEW from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office:

Republicans’ budget bill will GIVE MORE MONEY TO THE RICHEST 10% and TAKE MONEY AWAY FROM THE POOREST 10%.

It’s a scam.

BREAKING: A Federal judge has just ordered the return of an in air plane carrying deported migrants to South Sudan. The Judge says if they fail to comply, he will jail all officials and the pilot, for Contempt of Court.

I hope U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy does hold every single person involved in the illegal deportation of people to South Sudan against his injunction in contempt.

These judges need to grow spines and hold people accountable.

Republicans in Congress want to sacrifice nearly 14 million Americans’ access to health care and 17 million kids’ access to food so that they can give more tax breaks to billionaires.

I don't think so.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Headed to El Salvador to meet with government officials and discuss return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia
YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen Headed to El Salvador to meet with government officials and discuss return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Medicaid reductions, potentially $880 billion, threaten long-term care, which over 7 million of our most vulnerable seniors rely on for nursing homes or home-based help.

These services aren’t luxuries.

They’re literal lifelines for folks who can’t afford private care.

Thank you, Senator Van Hollen!

In the Oval Office, President Trump sat in silence as El Salvadoran President Bukele smeared Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a “terrorist.”

SCOTUS ordered his return—but instead, the Trump Admin is defying the law, disappearing people and yielding to a fellow tyrant at the expense of the victim’s family.

Forget about the legal case.

A man was wrongly deported and placed in a notorious prison with leaders of a gang out to get him.

Anyone with an ounce of basic human decency would fix the mistake and return that man to the United States

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Those Medicaid cuts? They come from the Energy & Commerce Committee. Here's a list of the members. If we can get a majority of these people to vote no, it's stuck there (unless the House gives up on the official committee process, forcing the Senate to do it)

Unelected billionaire Elon Musk is gutting Medicaid by $880 billion, leaving 80 million Americans without healthcare.

We need the government to fight for the middle-class, the working-class, & the vulnerable.

Fight for us, not Musk.

@AndrewDesiderio: THUNE to me just now when asked about some Freedom Caucus members not being moved by his statement —

“At some point, these guys just have to take yes for an answer. We’re aligned. We’re completely aligned with the House.”

Says he thought his statement was “straightforward”

They’re essentially telling everyone "Shut up, fall in line, and we’ll help you take people’s health care."

There is no way to cut $1.5 trillion from the budget while giving tax breaks to billionaires without taking away people’s health care.

House Republicans’ budget only adds up by gutting Medicaid. They’re choosing billionaire tax breaks over care for seniors, veterans and kids. I’m voting NO— because hard working Americans didn't pay into these systems their whole lives to have the GOP gut them.
