Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

Collins: Speaker Johnson that Republicans are actually the party that wants to fix health care by addressing issues with it, as he says they did in the one big beautiful bill.

Sanders: Did he really say that? They're trying to fix health care by throwing 15 million people off of it?

I don't know how far off ICE is from implementing this new technology or if it will come to pass, but it's pretty damn scary.

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

Trump watches make those companies that used to sell plates and pewter figurines as collector's items look a lot more legitimate.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

We are fighting for true freedom. The freedom to live a life of dignity and joy.

A life of 80 hour work weeks, of constantly struggling to get by, being trapped in a shitty job by your health insurance — this is not freedom, and we are not free. But we could be. If we fight.

CONGRESS: 225k Americans are estimated to have been killed bc of fentanyl ... Are we making any progress?

Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

Trump wants to DOUBLE Argentina's bailout to $40 billion to save his political ally.

Yet he is doing nothing to prevent 15 million Americans from losing their health care and 20 million from seeing a doubling in their premiums.

Is this what Trump means by America first?

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,
