We are bailing out Argentina while Argentina’s farmers sell soybeans to China in the place of American farmers which is putting them out of business, so now we also have to bail out American farmers while Argentinian farmers make bank.

Trump’s America First Golden Age.

"We were kidnapped" On Friday, more than 200 Venezuelans disappeared to a megaprison in El Salvador returned home. The horror stories are already emerging.

β€œWe got a beating for breakfast. We got a beating for lunch. We got a beating for dinner.”

The horror stories are already emerging from the Venezuelan deportees' time in El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The votes are slowing down.
They don’t have a bill.
Still issues with Parl.
Still disagreeing in caucus.
Still fighting with House.
Still no final language.

Don’t let anyone say otherwise β€”> the Senate bill that’s being advanced this weekend very clearly will result in significant cuts to Medicaid.

Over 70 million Americans rely on this program.

Hospitals will close and ERs will serve as desperate last measures.

This is the true #MAHA agenda.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional.

The polls are out on Trump’s budget scheme to gift more money to billionaires by stealing your health care:
β€”59% oppose the bill
β€”72% worry Trump’s budget would kick them off their health care
β€”70% worry health care providers would be negatively impacted

Americans don’t want this.

@pressley.house.gov said what too many are afraid to:

Trump isn’t restoring order. He’s staging a power grab.

Israel kidnapping Greta Thunberg, the Academy-Award winning co-director of the documentary No Other Land, and declaring Ms. Rachel an anti-semite for not wanting Palestinian kids to die.

Yup, this is how you win the world.

How shoddy science is fueling a charge to restrict abortion pill access The FDA has been tasked with re-evaluating the safety of mifepristone after a flawed report claimed it has a high rate of serious complications.

"The report in question was neither peer-reviewed nor published in a medical journal..."

This β€œBig Ugly Bill”
is NOT a budget reconciliation! It’s CHOCK FULL OF IDEOLOGICAL POLICIES that don’t even belong in a budget! They’re trying to back door their policies by taking hatchets to long standing social programs so all that’s left are their harmful policies! How’re folks NOT seeing that?

Supreme Court allows White House to end protections for 350K Venezuelans for now The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to terminate TPS status for 350,000 Venezuelans who were protected from deportation and allowed to work in the U.S.

TPS allowed thousands of Venezuelan families who fled to the U.S. to live and work here legally. They are trying to do things the right way.

Trump isn’t cracking down on "illegal" immigrationβ€”he’s taking away people's legal status and growing the number of undocumented people.
