when the private air travel is hit with delays etc. then may someone will listen......

"So what was the point? The point is the people who don’t get to give up. The families who cannot afford a single month without coverage. The parents counting on SNAP to feed their kids. The people who live paycheck to paycheck, who get sick, who need care, and who deserve dignity."

"In 2010, he quit Congress and helped launch an offshoot of the Heritage Foundation think tank called Heritage Action for America, which was tasked with strong-arming congressional Republicans to act more conservatively."

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social. (Published January)

Saying you're going to quickly replace ANY Air Traffic Controller is like saying you're going to quickly replace rare brain surgeons who are experts in their particular specialty and part of the brain. Trump hasn't a remote clue of what he so brazenly barks about.

If we don't find a way to stop this insanity now it will only get worse.....

Frank Sinatra Junior 😉 is such a stellar human being and thorough reporter I can hardly stand it. Please heed his warning:

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Senator Sanders is absolutely right too.... Dick Durbin: 312-353-4952 Angus King: (207)945-8000 Jacky Rosen: 202-224-6244 Catherine Cortez Masto: 202-224-3542 Maggie Hassan: 202-224-3324 Jeanne Shaheen: (603) 750-3004 John Fetterman: 202-224-4254 Tim Kaine: 202-224-4024

This is true. And it’s not new, with them. The Republicans have been saying “Let them die” for decades.

Last night, tragically, 8 Democrats caved. But the struggle continues. Short term, we must not allow health care premiums to double for more than 20 million Americans. Long term, we must provide health care to all as a human right.

Hey folks. Apparently some members of our Patreon community for my podcast have received messages on WhatsApp tonight claiming to be from me. They are not from me. Please do not accept any messages from someone claiming to be me on WhatsApp. I do not use the platform at all because it's Meta.

YES to all this.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

A vile country isn't a country that can't feed its children, a vile country is a country that *won't* feed its children.

um from what I know about the man's history, that might not be a bad thing for the world....so I feel bad for his family but otherwise it's up to him. The statement just tells the world he is a racist bigot.

and vote on releasing the Epstein files. Any guesses on what Mikies first excuse will be for NOT releasing them?

Hospital closures, Medicaid cuts, and decade-high health care costs. The Trump administration is threatening the wellbeing of millions of women and families across the country. So yes, we are fighting back. This is not about partisanship. This is about lives.

Exactly so they threw the American People under the Trump Bus to please who?

Looks pretty red to me...

Jeanne Sheehan & Angus King do not answer their Wa. DC. phone Jeanne Sheehan: (603) 750-3004 Angus King: (207)945-8000

Dick Durbin isn't allowing messages at his Wa. DC number so try this one: His Chicago number: 312-353-4952

Sarah Kendzior's books, HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT and THEY KNEW, are essential guides to grasping vital background about the US government and organized crime. Get those books now, before it becomes impossible to do so. "I wish I were exaggerating about that," she says.

That part

Some good news out of SCOTUS for once.

One key thing that we all should be remembering right now is that disordered personalities DO NOT CHANGE. Trump will not change. Fetterman will not change. There is no way to convince or mollify Stephen Miller. The only option is to organize to remove disordered people from power forever.

In other words, they will have a plan in 2 weeks like they said over and over again for the last like 6 years. But they don't want "to show our cards", they have no cards, they have no plan to help, their plan is to gut ACA and let the people just die, that's their plan.

Bernie said: “What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even … worse ... we are on a pathway to throw 15,000,000 Americans off of Medicaid and off the Affordable Care Act … It would be a policy and political disaster for Democrats to cave.”

This is huge.

Now this lady can go somewhere else and shove her religious beliefs down someone else's throat. She has every right to them, she does not have the right to force her beliefs on to others.

Some good news this morning.

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

You can count on it. Place your bets on whether it will happen in their first session or the second. #ProudBlue

What would Trump do if he wanted the military to help him establish a dictatorship? He’d order troops into U.S. cities. He’d order strikes on foreign targets to show he could get the military to kill people without congressional OK. He’d purge the military of top brass who might defend democracy.
