SEN. PADILLA: β€œSaying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

There has not been any looting, yet. The fire (white car burning) that was all over the news was started by ICE.

THIS is what is needed everywhere these mercenaries wannabes show up.
These are supposedly β€œice”?
Where are the badges? Their id?
Where on their costumes (clearly not real uniforms, way too bulky and overdone) does it say ice? They turn their backs to a crowd??
Wearing sneakers?

This is the whole point of what Stephen Miller is doing with Harvard & other schools. It’s not about protests, anti-semitism or anything else. It is their plan, many years in the making, to dismantle the US university system. Schools must unite & fight together, not individually.

ZELDIN: I understand you're an aspiring fiction writer. I see why.

SCHIFF: I understand your view that you can cut half of the agency and it won't affect people's health or their water or their air. That to me is a big fiction ... you could give a rat's ass about how much cancer your agency causes

Reducing funding for schools will not make America great.

Tax cuts for the rich will not make America great.

Tariffs will not make America great.

Republicans will make us sicker, poorer, and less educated.

Kicking millions of people off Medicaid will not make America great.

Cutting SNAP benefits which feed kids will not make America great.

Canceling funding for health research will not make America great.

Whoa! New polling shows that a majority of voters in EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT oppose cuts to Medicaid.

Members of Congress should take note.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

HAPPENING NOW: Republicans are putting health care on the chopping block / X HAPPENING NOW: Republicans are putting health care on the chopping block

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 ⬇️

DeLAURO: Are you planning to break the law by impounding appropriated funds?

RFK Jr: If you appropriate the funds, I'm going to spend them

D: We have! You're cutting the NIH by $18b. Congress appropriated those funds. How can you justify cutting billions from the biomedical research budget?
