We are 3 weeks from health care costs doubling, on average, for more than 20 million Americans. Some will go without health care. That means more suffering and death. If Congress won’t do what people need on this, what are they even there for? The absolute SHAME of it.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

As immigration raids have swept the country and the US government rapidly merges data from across federal agencies, it’s not just immigrants who have been kidnapped and detained. American citizens have also been caught up.
The DHS Data Grab Is Putting US Citizens at Risk
As the US government rapidly merges data from across agencies in service of draconian immigration policies, citizens increasingly risk being caught up as well.

If the video tape of the second boat strike confirmed the GOP’s description of it, it’d be running on a loop on Fox. Release it.

I’m appalled we’re debating whether killing two survivors of an illegal attack on a small boat was a war crime.
Each act was a war crime.
I’m glad Rep. Adam Smith wants an investigation now. The world (except for MAGA) is horrified and we haven’t even seen the tape!

Racist. White supremacist. Purposely demeaning immigrants AND American citizens. We are less than a year into his term. Where do we think this is heading?
Trump ends the marathon cabinet ego-stroking session with a viciously racist rant about Somalians in Minnesota and Rep. Omar
He calls them “garbage”, “we don’t want them in our country”, Somalia “Stinks”, they “contribute nothing”, and “88% of Somalians get welfare” (a lie🤥 )

Hegseth has been Def Sec since late January. In his short time, he has repeatedly lied and shifted blame, accidentally included a journalist on a Signal chat that included operational details, lectured American heroes about facial hair and ‘fat,’ and is a probable war criminal. Just crushing it.
“Either he was lying to us on Sunday, or he’s incompetent and didn’t know what had happened.” Republican Senator Rand Paul torches Pete Hegseth.

In just a few days, Pete Hegseth has gone from “Fake News” to Admiral Bradley gave the order (after saying the day after the event that he watched it all live), to saying he left the room after the first strike because he was busy. This is why you don’t put the Fox News weekend host in charge.

The “kill them all” order by SecDef Hegseth would be a textbook war crime even if the original attack had been legal.
It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).
There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.
