And, gee, NYC had the NYPD nine months ago. What happened? Oh, I know! Must be because the Knicks won the NBA Championship. New Yorkers are all happy now!

There's nothing wrong with being trans, unless it's a lie someone is telling about you. Dr. Annie Andrews, a licensed pediatrician, was married to another doctor & is the mother of THREE. She said she decided to run for Senate after Trump appointed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health.

TEN MILLION more Americans uninsured by 2034. That’s the Congressional Budget Office’s estimate of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” — not a Democratic campaign slogan.

And if you find my situation unusual, you are either young and/or are a man. So many women my age are charged with caring for elderly relatives who can't afford assisted living. If you wonder why I post so much, that (and the telephone) IS my complete social life.

I suspect a lot of it is caused by our constant moving. I used to entertain & be a guest often when I lived in Pittsburgh. When I moved to Tucson to provide constant care for my elderly mother, I knew no one in my new town. And I have met very few people because going anywhere involves taking her.

Trump's must-run orders have prevented several fossil fuel power plants from closing, costing ratepayers hundreds of millions of dollars, even though those plants are barely running, because their power is not economic. A pure example of large public cost for narrow private benefit.

POLITICO Pro: Trump rescued these fossil fuel power plants. Americans are paying for it.

The must-run orders have kept alive aging generators that are costly to run — and produce plenty of pollution.

NEW EPISODE: Less than 30 days before the midterms, Trump told a reporter that anyone looking for mail voting fraud should "start off by taking a look at California." I explain the real reason Trump is targeting the state and how we fight back. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVTC...

A missed cancer treatment is not a budget achievement. Neither is someone rationing insulin. Stop discussing healthcare cuts like the people affected are disposable. #RepublicanHealthcareCrisis

Good point. Just because you have insurance doesn't mean there will be either doctors or an appropriate hospital available when you need them.

From what I understand, it's also inappropriate, if not illegal. to pay for these ads with his PAC money unless he identifies the ads as their opinion.

I call her "Future Presidential Candidate Katie Phang." I'm willing to wait until her child gets a bit older. But then, LOOK OUT! I'm demanding that this brilliant lawyer and speaker run for president. In case you're wondering, she's already old enough and she was born in Miami, Florida.

Codify reproductive rights nationwide. Increase investment in public education. Reform school voucher programs. Increase student debt cancellation. Guarantee the continuation of Social Security as we know it by eliminating the tax cap & making the wealthy pay their fair share.

$15 minimum wage everywhere. More affordable housing, incl assistance for 1st-time home buyers. Medicaid expansion if not universal healthcare. Save Social Security as it now exists. Save hospitals & increase access to primary care. Cover children 100% with healthcare. MORE

Yes. This will be long, but here's a summary of what Democratic candidates for Congress want to do: Aggressive ethics reform, incl. closing campaign finance loopholes & restricting corporate $ in elections. Corp. accountability on paying taxes. Increased taxation of ultra-millionaires. MORE

4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck. After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home. Then they threw his ID out of the truck.

2/ Federal agents have detained at least 70 children and teens who are American citizens. Some were handcuffed or zip-tied. In one instance, a 15-year-old with disabilities was handcuffed outside a school in Los Angeles when agents mistook him for an alleged gang member.

Look at these photographs. ICE is out of control. They are even putting children in detention camps. How could children voluntarily break immigration laws? They were BROUGHT HERE.

I watched the Ohio rally he brags about on the Internet. It was held in a HIGH SCHOOL gym. Didn't even look completely full. Many people in the audience appeared to be teens (from the school?) They were laughing & poking each other. Even the ones positioned right behind Trump so they would be on TV.

Getting sick should not destroy your life. Your mother’s care at home. Your kid’s prescriptions. Your neighbor’s cancer treatment. The emergency room your town depends on. THAT is what’s at stake when politicians treat healthcare as a budget line they can slash and brag about.

This is literally SICK. I read about Caruso. That recent arrest isn't the only awful thing he's done. And despite this criminal history, dating back to violence against his first wife, he should stay on the public payroll??

Trump seriously thinks only people who do not vote for him should pay taxes.
