Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.Β

Sounds like this survivor of Epstein and Maxwell is saying she'd take Trump pardoning Maxwell as an admission of guilt, which sounds like a smart message.

Reports from the Montana Healthcare Foundation show that 64% of Montana's rural hospitals have already sustained losses in services, and 25% are at risk of closing or converting within two years, according to Montana State University.

I cannot stop watching this clip of a uniformed officer raising a weapon and firing directly towards reporter Lauren Tomasi and crew live on the air. I don’t give a shit if it’s a non-lethal projectile or not; JOURNALISTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THEIR JOBS IN SAFETY.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Did you know that when your local rural hospital shuts down because of the Medicaid cuts, the 75-mile drive to the nearest one that isn't shut down is still 75 miles no matter how good your insurance is?

The ugly truth about Trump's "big, beautiful bill" On the campaign trail in 2024, Trump pledged to improve the economic conditions of the working class.

The average Republican in Congress is a millionaire, funded by billionaires.

25% of American households have a net worth less than $27k.

Just in case you were surprised that their budget attacks the working class to give more handouts to rich people like them.

NEW: Trump has said he loves veterans & will β€œtake care of them.”

His cuts to the VA have led to widespread chaos and some vets have been thrown off cancer trials.

folks let me tell you: a normal administration is "veep shit." this signal stuff is not veep shit, it's "the entire national security team of the Trump admin is complicit in behavior that ensures that every hostile government has a direct line of sight into American-decisionmaking" shit

In addition to her 11 hour testimony on Benghazi, 3 committees held hearings on Hillary Clinton’s email servers. I wonder how many hearings will address the latest breach of war plans?

β€œOne young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, β€˜I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He β€œbegan to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, β€œfolding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He β€œasked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Labels like progressive and moderate are irrelevant. Either you're fighting fascism and going for the jugular with no mercy, or you're a little bitch like Schumer hoping things will change.

AOC is a warrior. Bernie is a warrior. People will rally behind fighters with the guts to do what's right.

Important. Either Trump is so far gone mentally he doesn’t know what he’s doing, or people are acting in his name without his knowledge. This was an order with enormous implications, and the President of the United States says he didn’t do it.
