It’s 2 am and we’re still marking up massive cuts to Medicaid.
While their constituents are asleep, Republicans are trying to take away health care from 13.7 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
They want you to tune out. Don’t ⬇️

If Trump is serious about making real change rather than just issuing a press release, he will support legislation I will introduce to ensure we pay no more for prescription drugs than people in other major countries.
If we come together, we can get it passed in a few weeks.
Article I, Section 9, Clause 8:
“no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
Trump is literally trying to fly around on a plane from a foreign government while serving as President. That’s a violation of the Constitution.
The Emoluments Clause wasn’t a suggestion. It’s the LAW.
He's losing court cases. He's losing his trade war. His cabinet is a disaster. Voters are turning out against his people and ideals. He's unpopular. He looks weaker everyday.
The only thing he has is executive orders and firing his own people.
It's early, keep fighting, we're going to win this. 💙
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is not part of the executive branch; it is an independent federal agency.
Leavitt either doesn't know what she's talking about or she's lying to avoid the question.
Q: The administration appears to have started dismantling the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Does the administration not believe that it's important?
LEAVITT: It's a federal agency within the executive branch. Who's the head of the executive branch? POTUS. He has the right to fire people
Full text of US-UK "deal" confirms:
1. *Not* a "free trade" deal.
2. For UK, largely successful damage limitation: limiting US tariffs on cars/steel for not very much. But damage still done.
3. For Trump, pretty much complete climbdown. (1/3)

Trump again teases a "very big announcement."
"It's not about trade, it's about something else--but it's going to be a truly earth-shattering and positive development for this country and for the people of this country," he said in Oval. "And that'll take place sometime within the next few days."
Donald Trump — a silver spoon billionaire who's never wanted for anything in his life — says parents should cut back on buying dolls and pencils for their kids to compensate for higher prices from his tariff mess.
This is the Great Betrayal in action.
REPORTER: Amazon will soon display a number next to the price of each product that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding. Isn't that a perfect demonstration that it's the American consumer who is paying for these policies?
LEAVITT: This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.
To mark Trump’s first 100 days, I thought it might be fun to look at all the impeachment articles against presidents and figure out how many he has already matched or surpassed. Spoiler: It wasn't fun. And the answer is pretty much all of them. @thebulwark.comwww.thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-m...

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States
SCOOP: three days after Kilmar Abrego García’s family sued the govt for his wrongful deportation, US officials began working on plan to fix the mistake and ensure his safety in El Salvador until they could bring him back. Then the Trump administration dug in www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
