Btw, tax payer dollars pay his medical bills. A month for a fall with no broken bones and mild pneumonia? Everyday Americans, one overnight and a bill a mile long. All Americans should have the same healthcare. Period. Otherwise we’re not all =. And the USA will never be great.

Democrats - knock off the stupid ideological food fight. Find someone who can speak articulately about housing and gas costs, corruption, doesn't have a Nazi tattoo, and isn't over 80. It's not that hard.

Iranian forces have caused far more extensive damage to U.S. military assets than Trump administration officials have admitted to in public and private, new reporting finds, as Germany’s chancellor says the U.S. is being “humiliated” by Iran.

“We go to show that there are people that are fighting against this,” Pace explained, “and to also show other people in the trans community that we are fighting for you.” Appreciate @melissagiragrant.com's reporting for acknowledging the bleak reality while also centering agency + resistance to it.

I’m not surprised. But watching almost everyone in the GOP line up in support of this monstrosity is incredibly depressing.

The “Save America Act” says that all states “shall” submit their voter registration lists to the DHS’s “SAVE” voter purge program, which has error rates as high as 14% & relies on data from SSA whose databases were mishandled by DOGE. I include this & other parts of the Act in my 8-point summary. 1/

I'll say what I've been saying forever but it's especially true now: now is the time for Democrats to hammer the message that these things are being done by REPUBLICANS, not "Trump." People are ripe for you to create the dissonance of their identification as a Republican!

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Remarkable: 55% of noncollege whites and even 50% of rural whites say ICE is too aggressive, per new Fox News poll. And 71% of independents disapprove of Trump on immigration. This is digging deep into Trump's base. We detail these numbers on today's pod: newrepublic.com/article/2059...

Murphy on Bovino: "That was a bone-chilling interview. I was shaking while I was listening to it, in large part bc it takes just an unbelievable amount of gall to lie to the American public. Everybody saw that video ... it should freak the public out that the Trump administration lies this easily"

ANOTHER ANGLE. This man was NOT brandishing a firearm. He was holding his phone. He then put his body between ICE thugs and woman. He was then sprayed with a chemical agent, tackled, disarmed, and executed. Plain as day. DO NOT let them tell you otherwise.

Eyewitness to ICE murder: "Neighbor: 'I'm an MD. Can I please come administer CPR, vitals?' And they said, 'no, get back, we don't care.' They said they had medics on the way, which took about 15 minutes, of her just sitting there. But no life saving measure were even attempted."

Since the Trump administration is so eager to cover up the rape of children, it is hardly surprising that they would also cover up a murder.
