Healthcare for everyone or healthcare for no one! Our taxes shouldn't pay for their healthcare when we can't even afford it for ourselves.

If we don’t get healthcare. Then they don’t either. They are Americans, right? They work for us, the People, right?

Let’s see how fast their heads swivel when we put their (lifetime) healthcare on the line.

We can do that, we are their boss.

They should use the ACA like any other American. They've been special for too long.

At least make them go around DC picking up trash like the National Guard. Why are we ok with giving them a paid vacation?

Sotomayor: Your revised test is basically just saying get rid of Section 2 because the test is unusable.

If you have to draw a 5R-1D map because that’s political goal then you are saying that is Black voters have no remedy.

When the House held a moment of silence to honor the Capitol Police on the one year anniversary of the January 6 insurrection, literally none of the Republicans-other than Dick and Liz Cheney-attended

That day, Mike Johnson and MAGA essentially spat on these heroes-both in word AND in deed

who among us hasn't talked about loving Hitler or worked tirelessly on behalf of a person we called "America's Hitler" or talked about sending our political opponents to gas chambers or incited a wave of hatred of immigrants with vicious lies

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

The Republicans officials who participated in a monthslong racist, homophobic and vulgar text chat are being condemned by some in their own party, and some have lost their jobs or been called on to resign.

Mike Johnson might not care, but it’s not every day when a sitting member of Congress gets hit with a restraining order.

In the “most controversial member on Capitol Hill” contest, Florida Republican Cory Mills is the new frontrunner. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

The teacher speaking is Mr. McCant at Lovejoy High School in Clayton County, Georgia.

Is this what is being taught to students? It's no wonder people are feeling stressed, but it's the left indoctrinating people. 🙄

Would this be considered grooming?

The GOP's government shutdown is bought to you by corruption.

It was a pleasure to be on @meidastouch.com to tell it how it is and break down how Republicans have shut down the government to reward their corporate and billionaire donors.

I don't buy this. In fact, I would be deeply surprised—indeed, shocked, 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙙—were president Donald J. Trump, the most law-abiding public servant ever to grace this land, to fail to uphold the presidential tradition of promoting the rule of law and democracy overseas.

President Trump’s request to Israel's parliament to dismiss corruption charges against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu upended American presidents’ tradition of promoting the rule of law and democracy overseas.
