Fetterman has crossed the Rubicon.
I'm more concerned about her embrace of 'alternative medical theories' like connecting vaccines to autism and promoting dietary supplements.
I'm sure MDs & their professional associations value credentials/certifications and judge competency based on acquiring them.
But it sounds like she's unfit.
We all knew that what they doing, how did Congress just figure this out?!
Court order ordering work to cease at Williamsport ICE detention warehouse.
JUDGE GRANTS TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, HALTING PROGRESS ON WILLIAMSPORT, MD. DETENTION WAREHOUSE.
He's still serving up word salad and SOS.
Or maybe go back to the bill Lankford worked so hard on? That and defunding ICE unless they reform.
He's just lying all the time now.
He's lied so much he doesn't remember what the truth is..
Gov. Pritzker presses Congressional leaders to act on refunds for families and businesses harmed by Trumpβs tariffs.

Donald Trump owes Illinoisans $8,679,261,600.
Thatβs $1,700 owed to every household.
Iβm demanding Congress end his illegal tariffs, rein in this lawless President, and deliver for working families.
"He told a colleague, who refused to help him upload the data because of legal concerns, that he expected to receive a presidential pardon if his actions were deemed to be illegal..."

It was not enough for Elon Musk's minions to gut the Social Security Agency.
An ex-DOGE engineer allegedly took SSA's master databases of personal information to a job in the private sector.
DOGE was never about fighting fraud. It was about exposing Americans to more of it.
Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."
βAnd doubts about vaccines are increasingly spilling into refusal of other mainstays of pediatric medicineβ¦ At a hospital in Boise, Idaho, for example, three infants died last year after their parents declined a shot of vitamin K, administered to newborns to prevent bleeding, said Dr. Amanda Leeβ

All of this!
Republicans have bad ideas but a well designed, long-term plan to consolidate power.
Democrats have great ideas & serve the majority of people but they don't have a propaganda system & waste time explaining why the GOP is bad instead of explaining why Democrats are
the better choice!
I still think about this one often.
As a congressman, Markwayne Mullin made not one but two solo trips to Afghanistan, ignoring State Department warnings so he could play action hero.
Heβs a former amateur MMA fighter, not a veteran.
If heβd been captured or injured, American troops wouldβve had to risk their lives to bail him out.
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"
Camp East Montana is a massive tent camp sitting on Fort Bliss military base near El Paso, Texas. It opened in August 2025 and almost immediately became the largest ICE detention facility in the entire United States holding over 2,700 people. In tents in the Texas heat.

The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs β including nearly two million children.
The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war.
Priorities.
Will that message get out in time to get voters to vote? We have such low turnout here in the states.
It's a war now?
Officially?
Without congressional approval?
It galls me yo think we pay her to lie to us every day. She is a professional liar for trump.
Obamacare? Republicans gave up on that issue? They dragged it out as long as possible despite support from constituents AND added over 60 amendments to make it run more clunky. They lied about death panels & costs to consumers.
They still work for the insurance/pharmaceutical industry donors!
