The contrast certainly gives the lie to Trump claims of violent leftist protests.

10M adults on ACA plans are self-employed or small business owners and employees.

A restaurant owner in Virginia could see his monthly premium double, shooting up to $1400 a month.

Small businesses are the lifeblood of our communities – and Republicans are shafting them. Hello?

The only way I feel good carrying it is upside down to indicate distress.

If the regime can deny due process to someone else, they can deny it to you.

The constitutional right to due process ensures that all levels of government must act within the law and provide fair procedures before depriving an individual of "life, liberty, or or property". See 5 & 14 Amendments.

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

The scheme described by WSJ to weaponize the IRS is a criminal enterprise under US law. And Trump could care less, because Pam Bondi is attorney general.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 8d

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.

And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.
