Make a note: every House Republican except Massie endorsed killing fishermen in international waters, blocking qualified generals because they are women, people of color or both, fired many more, depleted our vital stores of armaments, triggered massive losses in the Middle East

The ugly side of the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill. All those people losing their Medicaid coverage.
There are about to be many more stories like this.
"McCreary, 64, was told that his benefits now required that he have a job. "I don't understand what job I can get," McCreary said. "I can't walk. I can hardly breathe. What job am I going to get?"

The Pentagon’s F-35 office cannot accurately track the $31 billion of F-35 parts, cannot account for parts reported missing and has not sufficiently trained staff members to oversee the status of the parts. stripes.com/theaters/us/2026…

Here’s the full transcript of the reverse edit of the CBS 60 Minute interview. There’s NO PAYWALL so anyone can read it. CBS completely rearranged the interview. I just went through and pointed out what was cut and what wasn’t. substack.com/@decodingfoxnew…

CBS heavily edited Trump's interview on 60 Minutes. The black and white clips did not appear in Sunday night's broadcast. The network removed sections where Trump made false claims and fabrications. This is part of his explanation about the war in Ukraine.

Meanwhile Russia just murdered 53 people in a deliberate missile strike on a school.

My campaign and others complained about this for months. This should’ve been a national story. Thank God @MSTODAYnews reported it and we and others were able to try to reach these voters.
Local journalism matters!
Voter inactivations surged ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections, the first since the MS Secretary of State’s Office authorized unverified data from the credit bureau Experian for counties to use statewide when cleaning their voter rolls.

This is so wrong
The reason “Trump didn’t steal the elections” is because we & the pro-voter coalition stopped him EIGHT times over the past 21 months
Here’s how: a thread (1/x)

My only suggestion for the nearly 100 new Democratic members of Congress: don't get seduced by D.C. Ignore reporters who want to use you as sources, lobbyists who dangle campaign donations, the attention you will suddenly receive. Roll up your sleeves and just do the damn work

Russell Vought has found a neat way to make Congress optional: hold approved money until the fiscal year ends, then pretend the calendar did the canceling. In September, OMB sought $810 million in rescissions. The GAO said the administration couldn't use that request to let the funding expire. Somehow the man who lectures everyone about constitutional government keeps misplacing Article I.
The stakes are Head Start, disaster relief, medical research, and the basic promise that laws passed by Congress mean something. Get the records. Put the officials under oath. Close the claimed loopholes. A president doesn't get a line-item veto just because his budget director knows how to wait until midnight.
Russell Vought is the most powerful Trump official most Americans have never heard of. And Democrats are coming for his power.
@crampell explains how Trump’s budget chief helped undermine Congress’s authority and why his reckoning may be coming.

New: The Interior Department may open tens of millions of acres of public lands for AI data centers. ProPublica found Trump officials who oversee these lands stand to profit from the growth of the industry. propub.li/4irJtn8

11 large-scale attacks on Ukraine’s energy system in ALL of 2022. 78 strikes in JUST THREE DAYS.
@DTEK_Ukraine reports that repairs continue around the clock, under constant threat of further attacks.
Russia is deliberately trying to freeze Ukrainian civilians, depriving them of electricity, water, and heating. The world must increase the pressure on Moscow and make it pay for this campaign
