Powerful response by Sen. Warnock to Trump's attacks on him
Meiselas: What do you make of his attack on you?

Warnock: As we say in Georgia, God bless his heart.

If he’s not sleeping in Cabinet meetings, he’s watching cable news and tweeting at his political adversaries. Man, you’re the leader of the free world. People actually need you to bring relief.

WOW: In a special election for Kentucky State Senate District 37, Democrat Gary Clemons has won with a staggering 72.5% of the vote, defeating Republican Calvin Leach, who received 25%.

Harris won the district by 6, so Clemons outperformed the 2024 results by roughly 42 points.

Hilarious. The WH had all the Cabinet members simultaneously put out statements supporting Susie Wiles after the Vanity Fair article came out.

[email protected] : Were you satisfied with the answers you’ve gotten so far in this classified briefing on Venezuela?

AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

We taught kids to read, write, and dream; then trained them to hide, barricade, and bleed quietly while adults chose guns, cowardice, and silence over their future.

Trump threatened to pull the state's federal funding, he sent Vance there multiple times, his allies (including his son) are currently threatening to oust all the Republicans who rebuked him, and he's already sicced his goons on these lawmakers, bringing them countless death threats. But ok.
Reporter: The senate in Indiana voted against the redistricting effort.

Trump: I wasn't working on it very hard. I wasn't very much involved

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

In 22 days, 22 million Americans will lose their ability to afford care.

For 15 years, House Republicans have been undercutting the ACA.

But @housedemocrats.bsky.social have a plan.

We just need 4 Republicans to join us to extend the credits and save health care for millions.

ACA tax credits keep health care costs down for millions—but they'll expire at the end of the year unless Republicans act.

Every House Democrat signed a discharge petition to extend them and stop premiums from skyrocketing. If just four Republicans join us, the House would vote.

This week, the Senate will vote on Democrats' clean, three-year extension of the ACA tax credits.

Republicans have a choice: stop health insurance premiums from skyrocketing or abandon their constituents.

Please do not take medical advice from this administration. Listen to the actual experts.
Kressly: So let’s talk about the contagiousness of hepatitis B. It can live on surfaces, and it can be spread through touch—from someone who is shedding the virus to someone else.

So when we’re in situations where we can’t know 100% who is at risk, the right answer is to protect everyone.
