Maria Shriver, niece of JFK:

He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial.

C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

It’s good to see local superintendents and media saying the thing I have been saying for years.

The Missouri GOP supermajority has schemed to defund public schools and send the money to private religious schools. This will close the rural schools in my state.

Ambetter just raised my health insurance premium 26.5% without even knowing if the ACA subsidies would be voted through.

A president cannot defend a nation if he is not held accountable to its laws.

Rand Paul: "We've never in our past decided just to shoot smugglers who are unarmed without even proof they're smuggling anything. So I think this is a horrendous thing that should stop. I think it's illegal & immoral... the kids in the military - I'm not for sending them down there to die for oil"

New FBI Deputy Director just dropped. He’s the former Missouri AG.

This guy used Missouri taxpayer money to sue Starbucks for harming white men, China for not sending masks during Covid even though he said Covid was a hoax, and who fought to execute a man who was found innocent of any crime.

It’s wild that the folks who cling to American exceptionalism are the ones who elected Donald Trump…

I only managed to listen to 45 seconds of whatever we are calling that performance last night.

It was like watching a mashup of all of the Saturday Night Live skits patted and formed into a dim-witted humanoid with butthole lips spewing Nazi talking points.

I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

This has the votes to pass with bipartisan support, but Johnson is going to adjourn the House again to delay it as long as possible just like he did with Epstein.

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.

If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

Huge news… Discharge petition for extension of ACA tax credits for 3 years now has 218 votes.

Speaker Johnson-bring this to the floor as soon as possible
Urgent update.

Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures.

Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.
