CHRIS HAYES: β€œare you a yes, or no on the supplemental appropriations bill to continue to fund this war?”

SEN. CHRIS VAN HOLLEN: β€œI’m a hell no on any more money for this war.” πŸ”₯

I appreciate Senator Van Hollen’s clear-cut answer here. No gameplaying!

Yeah. Trump is sick in the head! We don't need a brain surgeon to tell us what we already know, but there it is. This explains it. So why is this lunatic still allowed to ruin our country?

Watch the end of the video.

He never knows anything, yet knows everything at the same time. It's a nonstop contradiction.

For the bottom 40% of families, California taxes are LOWER than states like Florida and Texas.

In fact, 16 other states tax LOW-WAGE earners MORE than California taxes our HIGH-WAGE earners.

The evidence is clear, and the numbers don't lie.

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 To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own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."

NEWS β€” Trump coercing staff to wear the same black pair of shoes that he wears.

β€œEverybody’s afraid not to wear them,” a staffer said, as some reportedly ditch their own footwear to comply with Trump’s wishes.

We’re officially in the dumbest timeline.

WATCH β€” @jamestalarico.bsky.social : β€œEvery dollar we spend bombing people in the Middle East is one we’re not spending here at home. We’re always told we don’t have enough money for schools or healthcare or for veterans, but there’s always enough to bomb people on the other side of the world.”

I’m hollering at my screen… yaaas!

Actress Sheryl Underwood, an Air Force Reserve veteran, is asking the questions we all want answers to.

β€œWhy is this not impeachable? And where are the politicians that say, β€˜this dude don’t have it all the way together, he cannot be the commander in chief?’” πŸ”₯

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiarβ€”far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

$5.70 per gallon yesterday in Monterey at the Shell. I read it may reach over $10 per gallon in California.

Can you give details of where he played golf? I think it's important to highlight all his recreational golf time so the public sees where his priorities lie.

Let me tell you what may be another sign that these warehouses turned ICE detention centers are extremely unpopular. A source reached out and said they heard about a location. I looked it up and reached out to the owner of that location. Within 20 minutes, they responded that they received my email

Schlossberg: If this becomes the new normal and the president is able to trademark America’s birthday and issue his own currency while weakening the dollar, having gold skyrocket, and increasing prices on every commodity and input cost in our economy, we’re getting screwed and he’s getting rich.
