A huge win for democracy today!

Senate Majority Leader John Thune refused to overrule the parliamentarian after she rejected key Medicaid cuts in the GOP’s spending bill.

Dems are good at being victims. Not much of a stretch.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

The libs owning… #AOC #Resist

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by our economy? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.

This is why we must fix the system.

Yes.

No.

AOC: You are not aware that the Trump Department of Justice is investigating the largest insurance company in America for fraud of Medicare Advantage that you have jurisdiction over?

Who is running HHS?

Bill introduced to expand scope of healthcare grants, include rural access A bill that would expand the scope of healthcare grants to include rural healthcare has been introduced in U.S. Congress.

I certainly hope Senate Democrats are holding the line against Medicaid cuts, cuts to contempt of court enforcement, the defunding of SNAP, and the defunding of the CFPB. You keep saying you're the minority party and you can't do anything. Well, here's something you can do.

Tempting as it is, I don't think we should chide him for this. We're all happier with an incompetent Nazi. A competent one is more dangerous.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

A half-century ago, House members pushed Congress’s first gay rights bill The legislation went nowhere. More than 40 years later, the Supreme Court ruled that the Civil Rights Act protects gay a

WorldPride kicks off May 17 in DC, marking 50 years since the first “Gay Pride Day.”
But 1974 also saw a quieter milestone: the first bill in Congress to ban anti-gay job bias. Fred Frommer @ffrommer.bsky.social reflects on the pivotal stepping stone.

He’s a liar just like the rest of them. Kehoe ran as a “moderate.”

He’s actually an extremist who doesn’t think working Missourians deserve $13.75/hour or earned sick time…even when the voters approved both.

The arrest of Mayor Ras Baraka is a wake-up call for all of us.

This is the right approach — speak to them as you would an especially stupid child, spell out their crimes and your contempt clearly.

Walz: When did government get to tell you how many dolls your child has? Government just big enough to fit in your bedroom, your womb, and apparently now in your toy chest.

MERKLEY: Are you gonna launch an investigation of the reported violation of the due process of several hundred people?

M: You haven't read the Constitution? It says 'all persons'...it concerns me you're not familiar w/the core concept of due process
