Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

A shocking incident is raising alarms: ICE agents were reportedly on rooftops “shooting rubber bullets” at peaceful protesters who were simply “standing there flipping them off.”

This blatant abuse of power demands accountability. #BlueCrew #ICE #CivilRights #ProtestRights #UseOfForce

A $10 million Medicaid settlement was quietly sent to the Hope Florida Foundation — a charity led by Casey DeSantis meant to help Floridians. But instead it was funneled into the coffers of a political com. to fight last year’s marijuana legalization effort.

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

John Roberts’ Constitution: The federal government protecting people’s right to vote or giving them health care violates the sacred principle of state sovereignty but if the deranged POTUS and his bloodthirsty advisers want to use the military to invade other states for being too liberal that’s fine

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940.

The money is going to be used *against* you.
