My office got $150k for a men’s homeless shelter in Beaver County. Serves veterans. Took months to get. Tonight I learned they lost $85k *this week* in $ revoked/denied. The Beaver Counties of the world gave Trump their votes. What do they get back? DOGE? Seriously, what?

"The administration has terminated more than 80% of USAID grants. "A BU global health professor estimated these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children. "That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished." nytimes.com/2025/05/30/opi…

Our angry stupid president turns on the Federalist Society and insults its mastermind powerbroker because another Trump-appointed Federalist Society-approved judge ruled he must obey the Constitution. LOVE IT.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

If you think ‘we’re all going to die’ is a policy position, you have been in Washington too long. The whole point of politics is to save lives and make life better.

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory was co-founded by Qian Xuesen, a Chinese immigrant later deported during the Red Scare. He went on to lead China’s space program instead. America draws the world’s brightest—and history tells us we’re pushing them away to our own detriment.

You can't kick millions off Medicaid without forcing hospitals across America to close, especially in rural communities. People who've lost coverage will delay care and eventually head to the emergency room, uninsured. Every Senator needs to vote NO on these Medicaid cuts.

Trump's eruption at Leonard Leo is deranged but the really bad part is where Trump basically says straight out that he should be allowed to disregard Congress when he decrees there's an emergency. He's laying the whole tyrant thing bare. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/195931…

Loretta was a supremely talented actor. She deserved all her 10 EMMY nominations and her 2 wins. But more than acting her part, she created it. She worked hard In showing the writing staff how they could turn the character from a one joke sexist stereotype into a real person --
