I went to the floor yesterday to ask the Senate to pass a simple bill - no ICE arrests at school bus stops. Let’s end this evil practice of purposely traumatizing kids. Republicans blocked the bill. And for insane reasons. Watch.

Cost of extending ACA subsidies: $30 billion/year Cost of Trump's Iran War: $43 billion in roughly seven months (and that's a low estimate) It's not a question of what we can afford. It's a question of priorities.

I’m not so sure Republicans are going to agree that a president has the authority to do all the things that Trump is doing when a Democrat is in the WH. Just a hunch.

Your annual reminder of what REALLY happened: Donald Trump went on WWOR Radio on 9/11/01--yes, that very day--to say that with the collapse of the Twin Towers, he now had the tallest building in New York. Which was a good preview of things to come, in that it was both disgusting and a lie.

NEW: Connecticut just adopted a new law that expands vote by mail — at a time that Trump is demanding that the practice be severly curtailed. This state lagged far behind the national norms, though, so this is about playing catchup. Bolts explains: boltsmag.org/connecticut-...

Connecticut Expands Mail Voting, Catching Up to Most Other States - Bolts
The state had fallen far behind national norms by still requiring an excuse, but a new law just expanded mail voting. It goes counter to Trump’s attacks on the practice.

The number of people who have died or will die as a result of Musk’s recklessness in slashing funding for USAID is already staggering. If Ebola gets loose, too, bookmark this moment.
Screenshot of a post from @factpostnews (FactPost) on X.com claiming that Elon Musk bragged about "accidentally" canceling all Ebola prevention efforts, and that DOGE never fully restored the canceled contracts. Below is a Fox News live video still from Trump's first cabinet meeting showing Musk standing and speaking, wearing a dark jacket and a MAGA-style cap, with other officials seated behind him. The chyron reads "Musk Speaks at Trump's First Cabinet Meeting."Screenshot of a post from @factpostnews (FactPost) on X.com reporting that at least six Americans were exposed to Ebola in Congo with one already showing symptoms, that the WHO declared an international emergency, and that around 50% of Ebola infections are fatal. Below are two side-by-side photos: on the left, Trump embracing and whispering to RFK Jr. in what appears to be the Oval Office; on the right, a healthcare worker in full yellow protective hazmat gear with goggles and gloves.
