WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public' IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?

Rep. Rosa DeLauro, top House Dem appropriator, says DHS is actively choosing not to pay TSA workers while paying employees at ICE, CPB, Coast Guard and Secret Service. And that the TSA administrator confirmed this herself on Weds.

Gupta: If we’re making choices, we’re making a clear choice right now about how to spend $200 billion over three months. That money could very easily be repurposed to fund a public option and provide healthcare to everyone in the United States who needs it for years.

This is going to surprise, well, no one who has been paying attention, but Trump's birthright citizenship legal arguments are based on the theories of a former Confederate officer, white supremacist, who went on to argue the segregationists case in Plessy v. Fergueson.

The ugly history behind Trump’s birthright citizenship case in the Supreme Court
The peculiar legal argument behind Trump’s attack on citizenship was invented by 19th-century anti-Chinese racists.

Iranian school was on U.S. target list, may have been mistaken as military site
The strike on an Iranian elementary school killed at least 175, many of them children, raising questions as to whether the military’s use of AI-enabled targeting was a factor.

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies. If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

Mass horror at the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti has DHS’s budget at stake. And yet in the past week, agents left a blind refugee to die alone. And lied about it. They pretended to be police looking for a missing child, to detain a college kid. And lied about it. What does this tell you?
