We've heard this one before..."We're going to get rid of the ACA and replace it with something better." They'll just never tell you what that is. And they'll let the government stay shut down in the meantime. Enough already. Fund the Affordable Care Act. End the shutdown. #MomSky

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

I’m running for governor.

For over a decade, Greg Abbott has made it easier for billionaires to profit while hardworking Texans struggle to afford groceries, housing, and healthcare.

But together, we can make Texas work for Texans again.

When I asked ICE to comment on their abduction of a 13-year-old boy, a spokesperson just referred me to a screenshot of Tricia McLaughlin’s X post. They have not replied to multiple requests to clarify the lies in the post.

At a packed Everett City Council meeting Tuesday night, a resident testified to ICE’s ubiquitousness in town: “I have witnessed several abductions by unmarked officers in my neighborhood. They have refused to answer me about who they are. But we know who they are.”

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

When you shut down the House for weeks and decline to certify a new Congresswoman...

You're terrified about the discharge petition that will release the Epstein files.

And you're a traitor to your country and your religion.

Arizona’s right to a full delegation, and the right of the residents of CD 7 to representation from the person they recently voted for, are not up for debate and may not be delayed or used as leverage in negotiations about unrelated legislation,” Mayes warned in her letter, as reported by Politico.

Republicans can’t be bothered to negotiate with Democrats to stop your insurance premiums from skyrocketing—but they have no problem with Trump bailing out Argentina with $20B of your money.

So much for America First!

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Q: What is the benefit for the US in helping Argentina?

TRUMP: Just helping a great philosophy take over a great country ... we don't have to do it. It's not gonna make a big difference for our country.

Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act isn’t new, but it’s getting louder and from all directions!

We had years of warnings.
He told us what he’d do. Project 2025 laid it out, but too many shrugged.

How much is “enough” for everyone to start getting loud with one voice before it’s too late?
