WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”
Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?
Really worth reading the entire 60 minutes interview transcript but admit this part got me laughing out loud.
Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*
They don't give their opinion to the media
They don't criticize how SCOTUS works
This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
The Department of Education reportedly fired nearly everyone in the office that focuses on the nation’s children with disabilities in a wave of new layoffs
If Congress doesn't act, costs will rise on premiums for health care plans on the Affordable Care Act marketplaces. Here's what to know about the politics and real-world impact of this issue. n.pr/4qlDkuC
ICYMI — They lied about why they assaulted the WGN producer (then rammed a car for no reason)
Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho
Someone should ask what Miller was doing between 2021 and 2025, why David Horowitz recruited him to the foreign policy team of the Trump campaign, why the Democrats never followed through on their 2017 investigation of alleged lies on Miller's SF-86 clearance forms, but no one asks real questions
Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.
Thank you, Austin Nichols

I'm about to vote on the SAME Republican budget proposal for the 6th time.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Hours after a federal judge paused the Trump administration’s plans to deploy 200 members of the Oregon National Guard to Portland, federal law enforcement officers escalated the tactics used on protesters in the city. via @opb.org
NEW: “(Ambassador) Johnson wasn’t just recruiting Bukele. What’s remarkable is that Bukele was recruiting him,” one former Trump administration official told @propublica.org.
“They were recruiting each other. It was a relationship in which Bukele had power.”
Students were eating lunch when they heard the gunshots. It’s yet another horrific school shooting, and every time my heart breaks for the kids, parents, and communities shattered by gun violence.
We can’t stop demanding change. Congress can and must pass gun safety legislation.
The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

They say phones only make us miserable but I just got this news alert and laughed for a solid minute so who is to say
