In Trump’s post-Roe America:
—20+ states have total or near-total abortion bans
—Women have to travel hundreds of miles to get care they need
—Patients & doctors punished like criminals for lifesaving treatment
Republicans can’t hide from the pain they've inflicted on women

Trump is intent on raising Americans’ prices.
His disastrous war of choice, his painful tariffs, and his refusal to do anything on housing have already spiked inflation. It’s only going to keep soaring higher.

"That's it?" -- Durbin confronts a Trump DOJ nominee named Konstantinos Ligris with some of his tweets -- including calling Walz "tampon Tim," Biden officials "retarded," and referring to cops as "dumb as dirt" -- and Ligris doesn't even try to defend them, leaving Durbin dumbfounded
If he was out to deliberately poke a stick in Leader Thune’s eye, he could hardly have done better. Add the Pulte/702 fiasco. Add the Blanche vote, after his Trump/Epstein Files disaster and his slush fund mess. Add Reflecting Poll and JFK disasters. It’s piling up.
I’m headed to the Senate Floor to ask my colleagues if we can all agree on this one, simple truth: climate change poses a threat to home values and the mortgage market.

More than 5 million people have lost Medicaid and ACA coverage. It's not an accident:
Republicans approved nearly $1 TRILLION in Medicaid cuts last year.
Now we're seeing the real-life consequences of those decisions.

Bill Pulte is completely unqualified to lead our intelligence agencies, yet Trump is backing him anyway.
That says everything you need to know about how seriously Trump takes our national security.
The orange Dear Leader can’t abide that he blew it (blue it?) at the Reflecting Pool, so he invented a fake “vandalism” narrative, and now Park Police are having to arrest harmless tourists to puff up the phony narrative, Soviet-style.

If only he cared about ICE ripping kids from their parents as much as he cares about paint ripping off the reflecting pool

Trump's DOJ wants judges to take their word that the $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund is dead. That's not good enough.
Reposted bySenator Sheldon Whitehouse
$600 MILLION for a vanity ballroom.
$29+ BILLION for an illegal war.
$300 BILLION for Iran.
Even $14 MILLION for an algae-infested pool.
But not a single penny for the 770,000 hungry kids in our country.
The next generation has cause for complaint.
Still laughing at the celebrity roster at Obama Presidential Library, as Trump gets Kid Rock. Cracks me up.
Another telling “slush fund” pleading by MAGA DOJ: they refuse to commit in court to Blanche’s promise not to pursue it.
Funny how often in Trumpland stuff they say vanishes once they’re under oath. Lying is fine and dandy until then.

Another classic Trump lie.
Why not answer? A “fraud on the court” allegation is particularly severe, even for a MAGA DOJ regularly called out for pretextual legal arguments, misleading factual statements, professional misconduct and even suggestions of contempt. Its silence is deafening.
Trump’s personal lawyers (who offered a terse answer) are in no position to opine on DOJ internal policies, have no access to internal client defense memos from the IRS, setting aside the takes-two-to-tango nature of “collusion.” DOJ was not ordered to answer, but spurned a plain invitation.
