So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

For the third time since I took office, we're funding above the required pension payment — creating a $75M reserve fund for expected costs of adjusting to the Social Security Wage Base. With this fix in effect, we’re protecting taxpayers and state workers from future shortfalls

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

@smith.senate.gov: "I think [Mike Lee] was sort of stunned to be coming face to face with somebody who was really calling him out on his bullshit... The way that people like Mike Lee and others on the right take advantage of the worst kind of human tragedy and political violence... is unacceptable."

Cuomo quietly passed a law shielded nursing home corporations and their CEOs from COVID victims families' lawsuits - as his political machine raked in $2 million from the hospital/nursing home lobby. Now, voters may reward him by making him their mayor.

“They Can’t Hold The Nursing Homes Responsible”
Across New York state, Cuomo’s nursing home liability shield has caused a legal chilling effect, reducing a deterrent to corporate wrongdoing.

A lawmaker and her husband were murdered. A senator and his wife nearly killed. The suspect had a hit list. And what did we do? We blamed each other. We justified. We spun. Political violence isn’t coming—it’s here. And we’re normalizing it. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/political-...

NEW: In the Mahmoud Khalil case, Judge Farbiarz orders the government to give him a COMPLETE LIST of every time since 1975 it has invoked the secretary of state's power to deport someone for foreign-policy reasons—including a description of each case's facts and a copy of the official determination.
TEXT ORDER: The Respondents shall file a letter on or before 9:30am on May 8. It shall list each instance, other than this one, in which federal officials have invoked 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(4)(C) to seek the removal or deportation of a person from the United States. As to each case, the United States shall include (a) a description of the underlying facts of the case, and (b) a copy of the Secretary of State's determination as to the case, whether reflected in a memorandum, in a letter to the Attorney General or the Secretary of Homeland Security, or in some other form. In addition, the Respondents shall file a letter on or before noon on May 8. It shall list each instance, other than this one, in which federal officials have invoked a predecessor statute to 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(4)(C) to seek the removal or deportation of a person from the United States. As to each case, the United States shall include
(a) a description of the underlying facts of the case, and (b) a copy of the Secretary of State's determination as to the case, whether reflected in a memorandum, in a letter to the Attorney General or the Secretary of Homeland Security, or in some other form. For the purposes of the second May & letter, the Respondents shall focus only on the period from 1975 to the present. The text of all asserted predecessor statutes shall be included in the letter. The relevant predecessor statutes shall include the statute invoked by the United States in the Massieu case; that statute was then at 8 U.S.C. 1251(a)(4)(C)(). So Ordered by Judge Michael E.
Farbiarz on 5/7/2025. (ro, ) (Entered: 05/07/2025)

Moms who work full-time all year are paid just 74 cents for every $1 paid to dads. And that wage gap only widens for working moms of color. We need bold policies like #PaidLeave, the Paycheck Fairness Act, and the ERA to close the wage gap once & for all. #MomsEqualPayDay
