Trump’s grip on Congress slips (again) as several Republicans buck White House demands There’s a growing list of examples of GOP lawmakers telling the president the one word he hates most: no.

Trump and his White House team have weighed in, publicly and privately, to pressure Republican lawmakers to reauthorize the law without changes. So far, the presidential lobbying hasn’t worked.

Springsteen's 'fabulous chaotic moment’ as Phoenix fans ran amok Two women behind the most iconic stage crash in history share their "Rosalita" story in a documentary on Bruce Springsteen's wild night in Phoenix.

"As luck would have it, a film crew was on hand that night to document the madness as young female fans spontaneously rushed the stage and started planting kisses on the singer, who clearly did not see that coming but appreciated their enthusiasm."

I’ve seen the chaos inside the Trump admin firsthand—and how his extreme plans are hurting Virginia families. I stood up to him when it mattered & have not stopped fighting.

Today, I launched my campaign for Congress. I’ll fight to undo the harm to hardworking Americans. Share if you’re with me.

Text: Healthcare not warfare. National Nurses United

Nurses are hitting the streets and they are FURIOUS. They took an oath to heal people. Republicans took an oath to the Constitution. But the GOP is cutting healthcare for 300,000 Americans to fund a war in Iran.
Nurses know what that costs. Do you? #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar

Trillions for war. Zero debate. But healthcare? Childcare? Public services? Suddenly we’re broke.

Trump and Republicans have made their choice — and it’s not you. 🔥

As Mexico Enacts Universal Healthcare, Advocate Says Insurers' 'Stranglehold' Is Moving US in 'Opposite Direction' | Common Dreams Medicare for All advocate Wendell Potter said it's "both inspiring and frustrating" to see other nations advance their public healthcare systems while the US dismantles its own.

As Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum moves forward with a plan to enact universal healthcare for her country’s more than 130 million people, a longtime advocate for Medicare for All in the US called the development “both inspiring and frustrating.”

Republicans are funding Trump’s war in Iran with over 1 trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid. His stupidity is costing more than 15 million people their healthcare coverage. Let that sink in for a minute.

We deserve better than this.
Vote them all out of office in November! #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar

Trump’s Erratic Behavior and Extreme Comments Revive Mental Health Debate

As Trump threatens to wipe out Iran and attacks the pope, even some former allies and advisers are questioning whether he has grown increasingly unbalanced, describing him as “lunatic” and “clearly insane.”

Major Hollywood Figures Sign On To Letter Opposing Paramount-WB Merger JJ Abrams and David Fincher were among those signing on to the letter.

“We are deeply concerned by indications of support for this merger that prioritize the interests of a small group of powerful stakeholders over the broader public good,” they wrote in the open letter. “The integrity, independence, and diversity of our industry would be grievously compromised.”
