Nearly half of all the rural hospitals left in Missouri are at risk of closure β€” the proposed Medicaid cuts will likely finish them off.

Closing these hospitals not only harms the people in these communities, but it will also hasten the death of these communities.

Shocking absolutely no one ICE Barbie Noem was on the take using a shell company funnel campaign donations to her pocket. I guess that's how she affords the Rolex & all the body work

A whole lot of questions just got answered. Such as: How does she afford the plastic surgery and Rolexes? Why does she walk around with thousands in cash in her purse?

Gotta give some props to Josh Hawley.

Saying you’re doing everything you can to stop Medicaid cuts in the same statement in which you announce you’ll vote for Medicaid cuts is a new level of ghoulish shamelessness.

Chris Murphy: "The CBO, nonpartisan, says it's gonna kick between 10 and 15 million people off their healthcare. And for what? To be able to afford a new $270,000 tax cut for the richest families in the country ... it's a moral abomination."

It’s a shame that so many Republicans vote for something they know will hurt their constituents & the country simply because they are afraid that Trump will threaten them if they don’t go along with it, & they are more concerned about his vindictiveness than they are about them.

No name. No badge. No ID. No warrant. Face covered. That’s not an officer that’s an armed thug with government protection. If you can’t show who you are or why you’re detaining someone, you have no business laying a hand on them.

More fake ICE agents doing horrible things.

Everyone should be speaking up about this. Masks and no ID required is a ridiculous recipe for horrors. @MarshaBlackburn & @SenJohnson & Sexton should be banning it, not protecting it.

Of the 2 GOP senators whose votes let debate on the abominable Trump bill proceed, 50% say they fear for their lives.

Of the 2 GOP senators who voted against debate on the abominable Trump bill, 50% have now announced their retirement from politics.

And major media is vote-counting like it's 1983.

It’s probably not great to wake up this pissed off. Then I think of how pissed off Justice Jackson must be.

Someone let Kat Cammack know she wasn’t denied care because Democrats scared doctors. She was denied care because she became a victim of the 6-week abortion ban she helped pass. Not everyone has the privilege to call DeSantis to assure a hospital it won’t face prosecution.

β€œDisaster looms”: Justice Jackson’s warning for the country The Supreme Court allows presidents to do what judges have ruled illegal.

This disastrous decision doesn’t just gut the federal court’s check on the executive branch, it effectively shrinks the Constitution, turning it into a privilege of the few, not a protection for all.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent hits the target. She is reminding us of the stakes in this case. And she is spot on.

He’s destroying himself. He has no way out of so many untenable crises he createdβ€”trade, immigration, education, cuts to key support systemsβ€” and his numbers on *all fronts* are drowning in history-making fashion. Keep the pressure on! ✊🏼
