SPRINGSTEEN, on tour in the UK:
“.. "In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration."

UnitedHealth CEO better send Don-old a gift worth a few million. DoJ investigation will go away overnight.
DeLAURO: Are you planning to break the law by impounding appropriated funds?
RFK Jr: If you appropriate the funds, I'm going to spend them
D: We have! You're cutting the NIH by $18b. Congress appropriated those funds. How can you justify cutting billions from the biomedical research budget?
More of this, please!
Pin Don-old’s winged monkeys down. Make them look ridiculous. Hold their willful cruelty up for all to see. If they refuse to answer the question, keep pounding on them.
Americans love fighters.
FIGHT!
Priorities.
Quick reminder: For the People Act (H.R. 1) was passed by House Dems in 2021. It contained provisions banning stock trading by members of Congress.
Senate version, S.3494 (Ban Congressional Stock Trading Act), also focused on stock trading by lawmakers. It was introduced on 1/12/2022, but didn’t advance due to lack of bipartisan support.
@menendez.house.gov on GOP Medicaid redtape and rubber stamps for big oil:
"For the uber wealthy corporations in the energy sector, pay a one time fee and do as you please. For hardworking Americans across the country, more reporting, more red tape, more of a burden."
Burdening people with more red tape/reporting requirements in order to keep their healthcare, hoping most will give up when faced with more obstacles is cruel, cynical, and economically stupid. Healthy workers are more productive workers.
My ex-husband owned a small company. Every year, free flu shots were offered to all employees AND their spouses. It was cheaper to keep staff healthy & working through flu season than pay for sick days, find coverage for employees out sick, deal with work delays & unhappy clients.
This is absolutely incredible -- Kristi Noem repeatedly refuses to acknowledge that Trump brandished an doctored image of Abrego Garcia's tattoos, prompting Eric Swalwell to have a staffer of his brandish an image of them right in her face.
Totally dystopian.
ICE Barbie is performing for Don-old.
She must appear belligerent, contemptuous, disrespectful, uncooperative. Pouty mouth, mussy hair, a touch of femme fatal.
Only a long cigarette holder, held neglectfully between her fingers while she blew smoke into the air, is missing.
BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.
Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

Did he die yet? Many people said an angry golfer caught him cheating and impaled him with a putter. Then ran over him with his own golf cart. Oh wait that was another guy. Well shit
