Join me in asking your representative to oppose H.R. 3492 and H.R. 498, sponsored by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) and Rep. Dan Crenshaw (TX-2), respectively.

It's cruel and discriminatory. Reqd more below.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone who wishes so clearly and so badly that he'd been in the SA.
Bovino on Abrego Garcia: "When he becomes deportable, he is going to get deported. And he needs to be deported now."

The word “hero” gets thrown around too often, but Ahmed Al Ahmed truly fits the description.

A good guy *without* a gun who put his life on the line preventing further harm and tragedy.

May he recover quickly from his wounds and be treated with the respect he deserves.

My heart is with 🇦🇺.

A heroic moment in this anti-semitic tragedy.

The hero here is a 43 yo Lebanese immigrant and fruit stand owner named
Ahmed Al Ahmed who was shot twice in the arm (apparently bt the other gunman) after wrestling the gun away.

He will be fine according to a relative.

REPORTER: What are your thoughts on the Eighth Amendment's protections against cruel and unusual punishment?

DONALD TRUMP: We're taking a serious look at this amendment. I think it's a nasty amendment, and quite frankly, your question was even nastier. Your network shouldn't even exist.
This is appalling. Again, Trump and ICE have had the option to deport Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica for weeks and weeks. They won't explain why they refuse to do this. But we know why: Because they've decided it isn't dehumanizing or cruel enough.

Thank you RFK Jr. and all the antivaxer patriots. Measles cases in the United States are the highest they’ve been since the country eliminated the disease in 2000.
For the past 25 years, measles has been considered eliminated in the U.S. because it has not continuously spread over a yearlong period

Nice way to support your peeps, DJT!

Clever!
Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?

TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

“The FBI missed an attack on the Capitol in significant part because they treated right wing threat actors as informants rather than a far more urgent threat.”

25% of all farmers depend on the healthcare.gov plans, and their premiums are about to skyrocket. Mr. Lehman, a 5th-generation Iowa farmer, thinks the cost of healthcare is directly connected to whether his son decides to be the 6th generation.

When will “don’t tread on me” Republicans wake up and realize their guy Trump is now the Trojan horse for his oligarch donors to do all the things they’ve been worried about?
