“President Donald Trump has been personally involved in discussions inside the administration over potentially suspending habeas corpus”

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
Surprise, surprise.

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere
The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.
A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.
Do not let anyone play games with you.
Reminder that Republicans control the White House, the Senate, AND the House.
If the government shuts down, it’s on them.

Asked him who the president was and his response was "You want me to say Biden, but I know who the real president is...".
We’ve had checks & balances & separation of powers embedded into the founding of our national govt specifically because the Framers anticipated that some day an executive might come along like Trump. For over 2 centuries we have also had judicial review. It’s all under siege now.

So they will defy his order.
If you are a small to med size business, would you rather buy health insurance from the big insurance companies, or from a new Non Profit Healthcare program offered by the biggest Unions ?

New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.
No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.
And no indication how long the pause will last.

Would love to see data on new grads. Too many new PA/NPs are expected to produce like experienced clinicians without a robust onboarding, then we wonder why they burn out and move on within 1-2 years.

It shouldn't be too much to ask that the next FBI Director be able to pass an FBI background check.
Fundraising and profiting off people who attacked the peaceful transfer of power should be disqualifying. As the very lowest of low baselines.

The stories will keep coming as long as doctors, nurses, & hospitals are told that they have to worry about the courts instead of to their medical judgement.
Abortion is healthcare.
When informing the patient’s family, remember that while you may or may not remember them, it is likely that they will remember you and your conversation for the rest of their lives. So act accordingly.
