This bill helped bring rural broadband to ALL marginalized pops (including rural trump supporting veterans) but was killed because idiots operating at a third grade reading level thought it was something that was exclusively helping minorities

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

WTF. This is insane. For so many seniors, there would be no money for food, rent, or prescriptions without their Social Security check. Howard Lutnick says if they complain about missing a check, they're a fraudster.

It appears Trump wants a recession now so he can blame Biden. Millions laid off from work will bring down prices for commodities and housing. But at what cost?? The rich don’t care what the costs are to the common folk. They’ll get rich buying fire sale real estate, farms, businesses, and oil wells.

How could you possibly vote for a funding bill that the Vice President is telling you will be overruled by the executive? www.politico.com/live-updates...

Please someone mash this up with video of Jan6 and Trump just watching.

The 1994 Budapest agreement states that in event of Russia invading Ukraine, the US and UK were to help. Putin broke it with his annexation of Crimea in 2014 and again in 2Ukraine doesn't have to give up anything in return. They gave up their nuclear arsenal for that promise. 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini!

its going to be a proud day when the papers start to fill up with images of thousands of corpses of children who died of malnutrition because America scrapped their lifeline

We need the press to question the huge conflict of interest in light of Trump's obsession, since 1987, to build a hotel in Moscow, along with other Russian projects. Still negotiating in 2017, winning the presidency shut things down. Perhaps that's what the secret 3 hour Putin meetings are about?

Despicable!

DOGE misinformation campaign

AP is a tremendous organization. I'm always glad when I get a chance to quote them because I know the reliability of the report won't be questioned, even by professional "skeptics" L & R who profess to question everything. Trump administration to exclude them only shows they fear the best reporting.

Again, this entire discussion is missing a key detail. Trump wants to fire EVERYONE who treated an attack on Congress, targeting key members of Congress by name. He's saying if you think defending Congress is part of your job, you're fired.

Again, just stop w/the focus on Trump’s BS DEI claim. Fact of the matter is people died while he was busy social engineering and he refuses to take any responsibility. Stop lowering standards bc he’s a rich white man.

In 4 holiday USPS transactions, all late, all impossible to track, with the innovation of a tracking system that gives no information, my dislike of American businessman Louis DeJoy only worsened this month. They hope to privatize by being so awful that nobody cares. I want the old, good, PO back.

My three-year-old was reading the Atlantic when she turned to me gravely and asked “Daddy, why is America fascist now?” And when I told her “Because a trans person said Latinx at an Oberlin student Senate meeting,” she started crying.

Wow! It's the perfect time to share this!
