Alexis came all the way from North Carolina to tell Tillis: Medicaid keeps her disabled daughter, Kinsley, at homeβ€”not in a hospital. β€œMedicaid is a lifeline.” Families like hers aren’t beggingβ€”they’re demanding: Vote NO on cuts, or answer to your constituents. #MedicaidSavesOurLives

This was posted today on social media by Utah Senator Mike Lee.

It is beyond the bounds of any decency and humanity and should result in his immediate resignation or removal.

Dear Rest of the World who've been wondering why Americans aren't protesting Trump's Fascist Regime:

This is a map of some of the more than 1,100 No Kings! protests planned for today. Two weeks ago more than, 5,500,000 Americans took to the streets. Today's numbers will be even greater.

This Is a Constitutional Crisis
YouTube video by Sen. Adam Schiff This Is a Constitutional Crisis

The constitutional crisis is here.

The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador.

I wonder if Donald’s crime-ing is less exciting and satisfying this time around knowing that HIS Justice Department would never investigate him, much less indict. There’s just no challenge to his criminality anymore. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.

I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

100 years later, Pulitzer Prize-winner Wesley Lowery reveals the secret hidden inside a piece of America's literary canon...

And how "The Great Gatsby" became white

This will end up being one of the great redistributions of wealth in American history.
