Sixty years ago today, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law - securing health care for millions and saving countless lives. As GOP politicians try to tear them down, it's up to us to protect and expand these programs for Americans who rely on them today and for future generations.

Probably proof in the Epstein files and in Putin’s hands. But she doesn’t have to worry anymore; she has aged out of his preferred prey.

Sickening, revealing stuff from someone with the president’s ear

Crockett: How is it that you can explain that we still are running up the credit card and we have nothing to show for it except for the fact that we won't have food on the tables and we won’t have health care.

Senator @ossoff.bsky.social & @warnock.senate.gov : “This bill is a disaster in every way imaginable — a budget is a moral document, and this speaks volumes about who Republicans think matters and who doesn’t.” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Intel committee Dems not briefed before strikes. Intel committee GOP were.

This is a problem and this shit needs to stop. Informing Congress of direct force that could launch WWIII isn’t a partisan process.

Hard to argue with that.

Easily over a thousand of us at the No Kings protest in Memphis, Tennessee.

"We've got no kings here": Jamie Raskin on Trump's brazen disregard for the American Constitution "Donald Trump has a lot more to do with King George than he has to do with the American revolutionaries."

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Trae, are we related? My mother’s father was John Right Crowder from Giles County, Tennessee.

ACLU Reacts to President Trump’s Federalizing National Guard Troops in Response to Protests | American Civil Liberties Union WASHINGTON — Tonight, the Trump administration announced it will federalize 2,000 National Guard troops to counter protests in Los Angeles. The...

ACLU Statement:

"[T]he Trump administration is putting Angelenos in danger, creating legal and ethical jeopardy for troops, and recklessly undermining our foundational democratic principle that the military should not police civilians."

"unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power"

"We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down." – Eleanor Roosevelt

The president of the Chamber of Commerce and MLGW executives signing NDA’s kind of reeks also.

A cigar is just a substitute for putting a duck in his mouth.

I prefer the bear.

Here's the Bluesky post. This is incredible. Now the goal will be to get him home. And I want to hear what Senator Van Hollen learned from him.

What this shows is that Bukele is very much susceptible to pressure.

Now we can't forget about the other 237 people sent there on March 15.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Trump floats legally questionable proposal to deport U.S. citizens Trump has suggested that "homegrown" criminals who have been convicted of certain crimes should be deported — a policy that legal experts say is "pretty obviously illegal."

Its true that America citizens can’t legally be deported. It’s equally clear that this administration doesn’t care about what the law says. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

This makes me feel sick to my stomach.

This is absolutely horrifying. People can't afford to file Habeas petitions. And how is anyone going to enforce that this actually happens? And what about the people there that did NOT get due process?

Pauses it long enough for them to Epstein him if he’s not already dead.
