“Miller, April 28, 2015, 11:38 p.m. ET: Something tells me there is not a Calvin Coolidge exhibit.”

This is one quote from emails sent by Stephen Miller that show he is a racist hater.

It is not the most inflammatory one but the one I want to write about.

The Wall Street Journal reports White House aids joked about "ruling Congress with an 'iron fist'."

That was a JOKE?

Healthcare is a human right.

All of our economic peers have universal healthcare.

We will not have a moral healthcare system until we institute universal healthcare.

There’s really nothing more to say about this issue issue

Something most people don't understand:

24 Million Americans get their health insurance through the ACA marketplace.

If tax credits are allowed to expire, their costs MORE than double.

3/4 of the recipients of tax credits live in red states

The pain will be staggering

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

For weeks, Mr. Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who is married to a U.S. citizen, has made clear that he would not challenge his deportation if he were sent to Costa Rica, which has promised him legal residency and guaranteed that he would not be sent back to El Salvador.

But the Trump administration has refused to deport him to Costa Rica, and in an earlier hearing this week, Judge Xinis pressed the administration to consider the option or clarify why it was unacceptable.

R’s have used every vehicle to ram through one-sided bills and undo bipar agreements.

Yet now R’s need votes from D’s to pass a budget.

R’s have NEVER discussed a budget with D’s.

Other than Charlie Brown, who would ever trust R’s to fix healthcare AFTER the gov is reopened?

Just tuned in to Trump’s AF1 gaggle. On Hamas shooting Palestinians in the streets, he says “they’re keeping order since 2M are returning home to Gaza, it’ll be all alright”.

I won’t share the graphic footage, but it doesn’t resemble “order” by any stretch of imagination.

Trump on Ukraine: "They'd like to have Tomahawks. We talked about that. We'll see. I might have to speak to Russia, to be honest with you, about Tomahawks. Do they want to have Tomahawks going in their direction? I don't think so."

Why do you straight up lie, Elise Stefanik?

Tish James has unequivocally stated she will not pay for her defense with that fund.

What is actually a “disturbing reminder” is what a shill you are for Trump and his nakedly partisan direction to make his lackey charge his enemy.
