What a nothing burger bill...it's already not allowed because fast food comes PREPARED. What a waste of time and taxpayer money (her salary). And speaking of nutrient rich, why don't we stop allowing PFAS in pestiside sprayed on food. Maybe start there??!

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

If you only call out people you don’t like, you are indeed, a hypocrite.

Ketanji Brown Jackson Stops Just Short of Saying the Supreme Court Is Breathtakingly Full of Shit “Calvinball has only one rule: There are no fixed rules. We seem to have two: that one, and this Administration always wins.”

Justice Jackson is basically reporting live from inside a garbage fire

Trump and Republicans are gutting the VA. Thousands of doctors and caregivers fired. 7 million Veterans left hanging. The people who served this country are now paying the price for his cruelty.

Health Insurers Are Hiking Premiums as Their Profits Balloon The US’s six largest health insurers reported massive profits last year, doling out billions on stock buybacks and divid

UnitedHealthcare is raising premiums for policyholders in New York and Washington after spending $9B on stock buybacks last year.

Healthcare companies are robbing you blind to enrich their executives and shareholders.

This is why we need Medicare for All.

Senate Budget Bill passes 50/50 with VP Vance the tie vote.

We are now getting a count of who voted yes to rip away our healthcare social net and environmental protections.

We’ll have it for the 2026 midterms.

So it goes back to the House at 9am tomorrow. Call 📞 your Representatives.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.

While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.

End this oligarchy.

Two Senators walk into a bar…and get birddogged.

There happened to be some lobbying event at the hotel we’re staying at in DC…and Senators Graham and Tuberville walked right into our group.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this
