WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

That gaudy, grotesque place that used to be the Oval Office of which we could be proud? He's only just using that space that we the people own. Let's not let him convince us otherwise.

How many Repubs voted against PACT Act under Biden which provided healthcare services to vets suffering from Agent Orange to burn pits?
Hint: all of them.

Fox News on bases have brainwashed troops. They think the pedo draft dodger who insults them is good. Turn the channel to local news or PBS

Q: “Can you clarify where you said the Presidential Medal of Freedom is better than the Congressional Medal of Honor? Many veterans are upset about that”

TRUMP: “People who get the Congressional Medal of Honor are often horribly wounded or dead...”

Guess stock buybacks for CEOs is getting old. Time to increase profits the old fashioned way - gouge the consumer.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

Wait until “PAYGO” kicks in. Medicare has to get cut along with all other services if the government doesn’t meet the budget.

Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.
