House Republicans are meeting tonight at 1 AM to try to cut Medicaid and SNAP benefits while Americans are asleep.
We cannot let this go unnoticed. I'm running for Congress to flip Arizona's 1st blue, flip the House blue, and protect your benefits.

NEW: As Hurricane Helene barreled toward Yancey County in North Carolina, communities along the Cane River in the Black Mountains were particularly vulnerable.
But there were no evacuation orders, and few grasped what was coming.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

We have to call what's happening in America what it is: a pogrom against Latinos and Hispanics, promoted by certain parts of the media, and carried out with the full force of the US government, using masked enforcers and extrajudicial enforcement.

#RFK upcoming announcement on "causes of #autism" is concerning. "Autism" it's not a pathology but rather diversity of neuroprocessing... just like some people prefer chocolate to vanilla, or are better able to think in numbers than in words, some people have incredibly sensitive sensory perception

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse.
2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report."
3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes."
This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.
