Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.

BREAKING: Rep. Beatty asks that a federal judge make it crystal clear that Kennedy Center cannot be demolished and requests an emergency hearing to make it happen "The Kennedy Center is a sacred, living memorial to President Kennedy — not collateral damage in placating Trump's ego."

An apparent ICE-related shooting in Maine is a good time to remember to treat the agency's initial claims with skepticism rather than credulity.

"The ultimate deciders of these grants will be the political employees at the agencies,” Duncan* noted in testimony. *nominee for OMB Deputy Director, i.e., Vought's #2. When research is decided by politicals, then the ultimate cost will be paid by the public. www.politico.com/live-updates...

The Trump administration is now telling people who entered the country legally to “go home” and apply for green cards there. These are immigrants already legally working in the United States.   It was never about illegal immigration.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

We’re in a dark chapter of American history when the government targets those who document injustice instead of those who commit it.

For this week's column, I hung out with members of the rescue squad and other retired super-volunteers. Turns out they are not only enhancing their wellbeing -- they are extending their lives by slowing aging. Gift link. wapo.st/4t9F8rK

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Jesus Christ. Every Sunday host should be asking every Republican if they think Tim Walz murdered Melissa Hortman. And when they say no, ask what it says about this president that he’s amplifying this garbage.

Every outlet worth a damn should be calling this out. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today. The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly. We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

Imagine a world where Alzheimer’s, cancer, and deadly diseases could have been stopped and then realize someone chose to let it slip away. Ending research that could have cured Alzheimer’s, cancer, and countless diseases isn’t politics it’s a crime against humanity’s future.

Epidemiologist Erin McCanlies spent much of the past two decades studying how parents’ exposure to toxic chemicals affects the chances that they will have an autistic child. RFK Jr. has now cut her entire division.

Let me say the same thing today, in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, as I said when Brian Thompson was assassinated, when the CDC campus was shot & a police officer lost his life, and when school shootings happen: *Violence is never the answer.* Our rhetoric & actions need to make that clear. 💔

This is a great must-read column by Paula Span and one of those pieces where the comments add even more to the topic of falls. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/h...

Q: If Trump is gonna ban mail-in voting is he gonna make voting day a national holiday to help people deal with the massive lines? A: Of course not. Because it isn’t about voter fraud, it’s about voter suppression.

Respectfully, Mr. Reich, they're gonna go up a lot more than 75% for a lot of enrollees. That's just the AVERAGE amount @kff.org estimates they'll increase. In some cases enrollees will have to pay 3-4x as much as they do today, or even more than that. acasignups.net/ira-subsidy-...

The Trump and Elon breakup would be pretty funny to watch if I didn't know how much is on the line here: 10 million people could lose Medicaid and 2 million kids could lose food assistance. Don't let this drama distract you from what matters.

“Alarm bells about the GOP Medicaid cuts aren’t partisan fear-mongering. They're coming from the independent CBO.” The budget office warns of terminated insurance for millions. Jeff Nesbit explains the proposal’s real intentions.

“There isn’t a single person in this entire country whose life isn’t impacted by the essential functions of HHS, and soon we’ll see what happens when those functions are destroyed.”

NEW: Thousands of CDC employees who worked on things like preventing HIV and lead poisoning have been told they were subject to a reduction in force. Experts say people will die.

Early voting is under way in the Florida special election! Time to cast your votes: ☑️Josh Weil in Florida's 6th Congressional District ☑️Gay Valimont in Florida's 1st Congressional District These candidates will bring sanity back to Congress and fight for everyday Americans.

God grant me the serenity to lie about the things I think I can get away with, courage to deflect from the things I can't and the wisdom to know the difference

It should be very clear to every Senate Democrat that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill. People aren’t going to be tricked with procedural games. They know exactly what is going on. Defend Medicaid. Vote NO on Cloture. NO on bill.

Hearing a lot of folks asking for Town Halls. Good. Because my team’s already on it. We’re coming to every county in District 6—because I’m not waiting for Day 1 to do what Representatives should be doing already. Show up. Speak your mind. Tell me what’s weighing on you most right now. 1/2

If this doesn't get us taking to the streets en masse I don't know what will. As if it isn't already ridiculously difficult to age well in this country.

He’s laying the groundwork to dismantle Social Security—just like the rest of our government. If people don’t think Trump, Elon, and the GOP are coming for it, they’re not paying attention.

The GOP has their SMALLEST majority since 1932! There's 2 special elections happening RIGHT NOW and if they go blue, power in the house shifts! President Musk and VP Trump are scared, let's pitch in $5, $10, or whatever you can to send a message! Let's go! secure.actblue.com/donate/speci...
