Living in the richest country on Earth, terrified to get sick. Mexico is covering 130 million people. Canada has done it for years. Republicans keep funding wars instead of our own people.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.
i think the fact that we are STILL in the position that we, the democratic base, have to convince a bunch of recalcitrant senators to do things like ditch the filibuster, admit DC and PR (if they want it) as states, and, most importantly, reform SCOTUS, identifies all my problems with the party
Ossoff: "Iran's ballistic missiles and drones are not destroyed. The regime is intact, along with its ability to throttle the global energy supply. Along with its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which it only assembled after Donald Trump shredded President Obama's Iran deal."
I never thought Iโd see the day.
Americans being told by the rest of the world to fight for our own democracy.
We should never have gotten here.
Keep resisting. โ๐ฝ

If only the Orange King was the backbone of the right wing movement. Heโs just a front man. The real danger is behind him, obscured from view. ONE of the biggest problems we have is the Supreme Corruption who broke the Constitution to allow him on the ballot. They have lifetime appointments.
โTerrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.โ

Former Prez Joe Biden spoke at the National Bar Association annual gala in Chicago last night. His #CupOfJoe was brimming with the urgency of action. He implored Americans to be โunapologetic in fighting for the future.โ
You ready? Be relentless in defense of truth and democracy.
I asked a Cuban Democrat in Florida, former Congressman Joe Garcia, how Cubans are taking this news. He said it's making the rounds, but in a muted way.
"Remember this is Vichy France," he told me, speaking of Cuban Florida. "This is occupied territory."
Just awful: A 75-year-old man just died in ICE custody, ICE has revealed in a notice to Congress.
But here's the rub: This man, a Cuban national, was first paroled into the US in 1966โnearly 60 years ago! They were set to deport him anyway.

WELKER: When does it become the Trump economy?
TRUMP: It partially is right now. I think the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy
Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who donโt know how to organize a group chat. Itโs time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of childrenโs cancer researchโฆ
I think it's important to note that Prof. Tribe said Donald Trump committed treason.
Yes DOJ is fully captured and he has an immunity card from the Roberts court, but let's just take in this fact: Trump committed treason according to one of the most respected constitutional law profs in the nation.
๐ฃ BREAKING NEWS. In a late night appearance on The Last Word, esteemed Professor of Constitutional Law Laurence Tribe unequivocally said: "Donald Trump waged war on the United States, which is a form of treason."
Donald Trump committed treason and I will repeat this fact until someone gives a damn.
Raskin: We even have the right to call the president deranged for crashing our economy, destroying $6 trillion of wealth and turning our 401(k) Into a 201 (K). And the press has the right to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico.
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
1/ A ๐งต to explain his plan and how we fight back.
โNever before has an hour of Presidential rhetoric cost so many people so much. The best estimate of the loss from tariff policy is now [close] to $30 trillion or $300,000 per family of four.โ

Today's specials at the shit sandwich cafe:
- Trump to dismantle the Department of Education
- 240,000 Ukrainians to have their legal status revoked; subject to deportation
- 70,000 job cuts planned at the VA
- GDP receding. Prices on the rise. Markets in free fall. Trumpcession is inevitable.
Freeland: "If these tariffs are put in place, it is going to hurt Americans ... your grocery prices are gonna go up, bc you know what you need to grow food in the US? You need fertilizer. 80% of it comes from Canada and you're gonna be a 25% tax on it? ... the WSJ is right. This is dumb."
Whatever you do, please donโt log on to X and retweet things about โBigBallsโ and the other DOGE staffers who are hijacking the governmentโs payment systems and citizensโ private data.
