We are 20 days into the Republican Shutdown — health care costs are skyrocketing and federal workers aren’t getting paid. What is Trump doing? Building his gold plated ballroom. apnews.com/article/trum...
The White House starts demolishing part of the East Wing to build Trump's ballroom
The White House has started tearing down part of the East Wing to build the ballroom President Donald Trump wants added to the building. Demolition started Monday.

Today marks 31 consecutive days that the House of Representatives has been out of session, as Speaker Johnson continues to cancel votes week after week. That means a month-long vacation for House Republicans. It’s time to get back to work for the American people.

No one should have to drive hours to get help when there’s an emergency. Thanks to Trump and Republicans’ cuts to Medicaid, rural hospitals across the country will close. People will die. It’s time to cancel the cuts. www.kuow.org/stories/i-do...
'I don’t sleep well at night.' Washington’s rural hospitals brace for Medicaid cuts, possible closures
When changes to the federal Medicaid program take effect in about a year, rural hospitals could face closures, leaving people to drive an hour or more to the next closest options.

Federal workers are pissed off at this administration. They have been demeaned, villainized, and fired — and now Trump is threatening to not pay them at all as this Republican Shutdown continues. But they still want Democrats to keep fighting for affordable health care and democracy.

A 50 year old couple making $95,000 a year could see their premiums go up by $17,000 if the ACA subsidies aren’t extended. It’s the 19th day of the Republican Shutdown, and Republicans are still on vacation instead of protecting health care.

It’s day 17 of the Republican Shutdown, and approximately 750,000 federal workers have been furloughed and are missing paychecks. Workers and their families deserve better. Republicans must end this shutdown now.

This report is absolutely shocking. ICE does not have the authority to detain US citizens during immigration enforcement — full stop. The Trump administration is out of control, violating the rights of American citizens. They must be held accountable. www.propublica.org/article/immi...
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

There are now over 1,500 measles cases in the US — the highest number in decades. RFK Jr.’s misinformation and lies about vaccines are going to get people killed. www.kuow.org/stories/u-s-...
U.S. measles cases continue to climb, with outbreaks across the country
In South Carolina, more than 150 unvaccinated schoolkids are under quarantine after being exposed to measles. Across the U.S., total case counts could be even higher than the official number.
