Tom Nichols on the situation in Chicago: “This story really isn’t about immigration… It’s about getting the American people used to idea that Donald Trump is an absolute ruler who can put the military in streets at will, and intimidate everyone, including citizens.”

500 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics are at risk of closing because of the Trump-Republican big, ugly bill. Many are in rural areas.

Meanwhile, Republican-held US House districts and states Trump won in 2024 rely more on ACA coverage.

They're selling out their own voters.

📃Epstein Files – Johnson is refusing to swear in Rep.-Elect Grijalva, who would be the 218th signature to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files.

The House should be in session, not on vacation! (3/3)

SenatorWarnock just broke it down: health care is on the line.

A Chatham County family once paid $559/month for coverage—now it’s $2,100 after GOP subsidy cuts. QUADRUPLE the cost just to stay insured.

#TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

When 530,000 people already file for bankruptcy due to medical debt.

Republicans are causing 15 MILLION Americans to lose their health insurance.

Now, even more families will be left without healthcare. This isn’t politics—it’s life or death.

Healthcare is a right! 💙

#TrumpsHealthcareShutdown They skewered Obama for playing golf but now, it crickets when the orange puff pastry golfs during the governmental shutdown which he engineered. Meanwhile, regular people are getting desperate while the rich continue on with their obsession with accumulating wealth.

Swalwell is on 🔥, as per usual.

House Republicans are on an Epstein vacation.

Do people realize that Trump and Miller are creating so many valid civil causes of action that taxpayers will be paying billions of dollars—if not tens of billions—to their innocent victims and their families over the next 25 years?

America will be digging itself out of a hole for decades to come.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

Donald Trump in 2024: "I know nothing about Project 2025. And I'm not interested in it."

Donald Trump in 2025: "I'm going to meet with the guy who was the architect behind Project 2025 and let him do my job of deciding which parts of government to cut."

Does this man tell the truth about ANYTHING?

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for federally funded healthcare—Medicare, Medicaid, ACA, all of it. Republicans claiming otherwise are just lying—badly.

30 UNDER 30 30 VICTIMS OF GUN VIOLENCE UNDER THE AGE OF 30

Honored that my friend @moliver00.bsky.social asked to include my daughter Jaime in his 30 under 30 magazine. The Forbes 30 under 30 looks out those who made it. This one looks at those who should have made it but because of gun violence won't. Please take a look.

Court Rules in AAUP v Rubio: Trump Admin Violated First Amendment The AAUP and partners sued to block the Trump administration from carrying out large-scale arrests, detentions, and deportations of noncitizen students and faculty members for ideological reasons.

Some good news:

“In a landmark ruling, a federal court today ruled that the Trump administration’s policy of arresting, detaining, and deporting noncitizen students and faculty members for their pro-Palestinian advocacy violates the First Amendment.”

The Untold Saga of What Happened When DOGE Stormed Social Security DOGE has ignored urgently needed reforms and upgrades at the Social Security Administration, according to dozens of insiders and 15 hours of candid interviews with the former acting chief of the agenc...

The DOGE team was acting like “a bunch of people who didn’t know what they were doing, with ideas of how government should run — thinking it should work like a McDonald’s or a bank — screaming all the time,” former SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek said.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

BREAKING: Israeli helicopters have struck Gaza City’s main Omar al-Mukhtar Street, killing 39 Palestinians across Gaza since dawn, including 28 in the city, amid PM Netanyahu’s talks on potential peace discussions with Trump.

Republicans can run away from the Capitol, but they can't hide from the truth.

Let’s be clear: we are headed for a shutdown because Republicans, who control the entire government, can’t govern effectively unless it involves taking away people’s health insurance, denying food to hungry kids, or driving up the costs of groceries, utilities, and healthcare.

I wouldn’t have ever harmed one, but I gotta say they did scare me when we visited. They can be a little pushy.

Too often, we talk about homelessness as if it's natural or inevitable. The truth is that it's a political choice.

When then-Gov. Cuomo cut the Advantage program rather than tax his wealthy donors, his decision sent thousands of New York families into shelters.

Call Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, and ask him why he's protecting pedofiles and childhood sex traffickers.

His official DC numbers are: (202) 225-4000 and (202) 225-2777

Bossier City office: (318) 840-0309
DeRidder office: (337) 226-6385
Leesville office: (337) 423-4232

Be relentless.

Cut the crap. This shutdown is ENTIRELY the GOP’s. The last second meeting is simply a setup to try blame shifting.

'I want his name to be known': Wife of immigrant injured at ICE facility shooting speaks out Stephany Gauffeny says she wants the world to know that her husband, Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez, is more than "just an immigrant or a detainee, or a criminal."

A victim of the shooting at the ICE facility is UNCONSCIOUS, in critical care, may not survive, his wife is about to give birth, and ICE IS KEEPING HIM SHACKLED TO HIS HOSPITAL BED:

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it
