RFK Jr. Is Consistent on One Thing: Lying About Cuts to Medicaid  “There’s no cut in Medicaid,” Department of Health and Human Services Secretary...

“There’s no cut in Medicaid,” DHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. yelled numerous times over the past couple days as he testified in front of a handful of different congressional committees.

Weird that they would fire the navy secretary who’s been overseeing a war we’ve won at least five times.

Burchett is right: the most DC thing ever *is* a member of Congress blaming the city for something he and his colleagues did themselves.

Not sure if someone else has already pointed this out: the indictment against SPLC has multiple counts for false statements to a bank, 18 USC 1014. Theory explicitly stated in indictment is that certifications to open accounts were “false or misleading.”

But there’s a problem:

NEW MEMO from Democrats on the House Oversight Committee memo shows Kentucky Republican Rep. James Comer plans to make big changes to the hearing process, including not requiring witnesses to swear in. trib.al/rjIltID

From cnn:

“Phelan is a businessman with no prior military service; he and his wife previously fundraised millions of dollars for President
Donald Trump's campaign before he was confirmed as Navy secretary in 2025.”

So: no great loss. But the enlisted men are getting dicked around.

SARA EISEN: I think it was a bit of a trap to ask Kevin Warsh about the election denial, to get him to disagree w/ President Trump. You know no Fed Chair is going to weigh in on politics like that

WARREN: Look, I asked him a fact. We need a Fed Chair who can assert reality. Kevin Warsh can't do it

When @MarshaBlackburn talks about Trump cutting taxes, this is what she counts on us all being too dumb to understand

SARA EISEN: The president is just expressing what he wants in terms of monetary policy

ELIZABETH WARREN: I'm sorry. Is that real? You think it's not different to say 'here's how I read the numbers' and being the president and employing the DOJ to bring criminal charges against someone?

Yes indeed.
That’s how elections work.

People vote for what they want.

Democracy is no authoritarian’s friend.

EISEN: I wonder if you ever worry that by trashing the president over Iran that it weakens our hand and negotiation position at a critical moment

ELIZABETH WARREN: 🤨 Donald Trump weakens Donald Trump's hand when he starts this war without ever consulting with the American people about it

Rep, Stansbury: Happy Earth Day! The fight to protect our lands, waters, and wildlife is on. YouTube video by Rep. Melanie Stansbury

It’s Earth Day. Republicans are using the House to try to gut the fundamental programs that protect our planet: the Endangered Species Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Clean Air Act.

We’re fighting for our lands, waters, and wildlife. And we won’t walk away from that legacy!

Lutnick dodges Van Hollen's questions about Epstein: "I am here today to testify about the budget"

Republicans: [unsavory tactics]

Media: Gosh, that’s some maneuvering.

Democrats: [punch back]

Media: We need to ask ourselves if this is the sign of a healthy democracy.

Hope John Roberts, who assured us that absolute immunity would prevent presidents from going after their predecessors, sees this

RFK Jr. Says Measles Outbreaks Not His Fault: ‘I’ve Never Been Anti-Vaccine’ The HHS secretary, known for spreading disinformation about vaccine safety, falsely claimed people aren’t getting vaccinated because “the government lied to them during COVID.”

Welcome to Day 2 of RFK Jr. testifying on Capitol Hill.

Yesterday, RFK -- who has spent decades spreading disinformation about vaccine safety -- testified to Congress that measles outbreaks aren't his fault and said he's "never been anti-vaccine." Really. Really! www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-me...

Trump administration targets DACA recipients for deportation Immigrants with DACA were protected from deportation, but since Trump’s return, the government has arrested nearly 300 DACA recipients, including 75 in Texas.

john roberts, alone in his study, scribbling furiously in a notebook: but it’s only nonjusticiable if, uh, the gerrymander targets, uh, urban areas, because the founding fathers were, uh, farmers… yes… that’s something… yes…

Jay Bhattacharya has ordered that a paper showing the effectiveness of COVID19 vaccines in preventing severe disease and hospitalization be suppressed and hidden.

This man has been crying nonstop about political censorship for 6 years.

But he’s the one who is actually doing it.

Opinion | Trump Corrupts, and Absolute Trump Corrupts Absolutely

“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption.

It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”

listen hun if you can't handle the Washington Post editorial board at their the Texas gerrymander "freakout" is "not a threat to democracy" you don't deserve them at their "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss"

He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence

VAN HOLLEN: You said you disputed some of my facts. Do you dispute that Sheikh Tahnoon through his company invested $500m in World Liberty Financial just before the inauguration?

LUTNICK: I'm not aware of that


VAN HOLLEN: Seriously? It's been so widely reported

The overwhelming ethos of Trumpism is “bully who can dish it out but can’t take it”

whoa this is unhinged

shocked not shocked anyone in trump land thought it was a good idea to put this guy in front of a microphone. wow.

Sources say that if Kash Patel cannot stop binge drinking and spending taxpayer dollars on his personal travel, Donald Trump is prepared to fire the highest ranking woman at the FBI.
