There is no insurrection in Portland unless you consider an uptick of people wearing inflatable frog costumes an insurrection. No one is falling for this absurd propaganda, and there is NO justification for deploying our troops against peaceful American citizens.
WELKER: Are you looking at invoking the Insurrection Act? VANCE: We have to remember we are talking about this bc crime has gotten out of control W: Crime is down in both Chicago & Portland V: Crime is down bc they are so overwhelmed at the local level they are not even keeping stats properly
JD Vance is LYING. These firings have NOTHING to do with the shutdown. Donald Trump is CHOOSING to fire these scientists to threaten Democrats. Trump is destroying what little is left of our public health infrastructure, and we will NOT be ready for the next pandemic.
BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen? VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer B: But this was a WH decision
I spoke with Susan from Idaho, whose health care premiums could go up 900% if Republicans refuse to work with us to fix this crisis. Republicans need to come to the table to work with us to extend these tax credits and save health care for millions of Americans like Susan.
A lot of Republican Members of Congress are in a total bubble. Right-wing media can paint a rosy picture of our economy, sure. But reality is gonna come crashing down on Republicans when their constituents see their premiums more than double, or even quadruple.
Make sure everyone knows: these mass firings are NOT because of the shutdown. Trump doesn’t have to fire any of these people—he’s choosing to do it as an intimidation tactic. Difficult to overstate how stupid and reckless this is.
Over coffee, I updated @repemilyrandall.bsky.social on what is happening in the Senate right now: Republican leaders STILL would rather shut down the government than even talk to Democrats about how to stop health care costs from skyrocketing for millions of Americans.
Trump says he’s slapping a 100% sales tax on top of the rest of his tariffs, forcing you to pay that much more for just about everything. This would mean chaos and pain for any small businesses that rely on China for trade & business. Republicans could end these tariffs today.
Bob is a retired educator in Idaho and his wife spent decades working in health care. If Republicans refuse to work with Democrats to protect the health care tax credits, his premiums will increase from $51 to $2,250 a MONTH.
Republicans are pushing debunked anti-abortion propaganda as an excuse to rip mifepristone off the shelves and block women from getting abortion care.   100+ studies prove mifepristone is safe and effective.   SPEAK UP, we can't let them get away with this.
I've never seen a time when our country has been facing a true crisis, and the president & GOP leaders won't even TALK to Democrats about a solution. Democrats are ready to work on a solution to reopen the gov & stop health care costs from skyrocketing. Where are Republicans?
I'm tired of hearing Republicans say they'll deal with the health care crisis they created "later." Later is TOO LATE. If Republicans could rush to give billionaires tax breaks this summer, we can save families from seeing their health care premiums more than double RIGHT NOW.
I voted NO on the annual defense policy bill. Trump is lying about chaos on our streets to deploy the military against our own citizens. I support our troops always, but I DON'T support a President who says Democratic cities should be used as "training grounds" for the military.
The corruption on display here is clear as day. But we can't simply be quiet. We all have to speak out against the weaponization of our Justice Department. We need a DOJ that works for the people, not one that is focused on political retribution for Donald Trump.
Republicans care about your health care? Yeah, right. Right now, Donald Trump and Republican leaders would rather keep the government closed than figure out a solution to save your health care. Watch what they do, not what they say.
"This situation is devastating—and it's also anti-small business." Rebecca and her husband are entrepreneurs in Seattle who will see their health care premiums increase at least $1,300 a month if Republicans refuse to save the health care tax credits.
Idaho families could see premiums jump from $611 to $2,083 a month if Republicans refuse to work with Democrats to save the health care tax credits. That's an increase of $1,472 a month for the SAME plan. Republicans won’t talk about it but Democrats refuse to let that happen.
