$880 billion is the budget for the entire federal government and states. Nursing homes will have to close, where residents have already spent down everything of value they have first. Medicaid also allows some disabled people to stay in their home with a part-time caregiver with the understanding the state may take the house upon their death. I have first hand knowledge as my mother was in a nursing home her last few years after her Alzheimer’s dementia progressed to the point she needed full-time nursing care. She’s at peace now but what will become of the other 1.3 million elders living in nursing homes now? And they want to do this to extend the top 1% tax break? How does this jive with your version of Christianity @SpeakerJohnson ? Because I’m horrified.

Oh my god. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Program just confirmed that the Republican budget would force the LARGEST CUTS TO MEDICAID IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
House Republicans want to cut $880 billion from Medicaid to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.
Every single American should know about how disastrous it is for Republicans to have the majority.

9 year old kid plays Vivaldi and shocks the entire airport … 🤯
Let's not forget the little girl who encouraged him and asked them if he could play with them. He has a great talent and a great friend.
A 10-year-old boy who once arrived at the hospital alone for heart surgery is now celebrating his birthday surrounded by family after the doctor who cared for him stepped in to change his life. @SteveHartmanCBS is On the Road in Omaha, Nebraska.
BOOM! WITNESS THIS. A 9-year-old warrior took the mic and Dismantled Trump's attacks on Black and brown communities, our seniors, & those who served.
More courage, fire, & moral clarity than most grown folks will ever have. Slashing Social Security. Gutting healthcare. Stripping Medicaid & Medicare. Defunding schools. Withholding disaster relief from states that didn't vote for him.
The universe has a strange poetry: when a would-be despot grabs power, a child's voice rises up echoing the spirit of Fannie Lou Hamer, Fred Hampton, Septima Clark, & the freedom fighters before him.
This is powerful. Minneapolis is EVERYTHING that is good in America. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The people of Minneapolis, Minnesota are awe-inspiring. 🙌🙏🫶💪👏✊️👇
BREAKING: The family of Alex Pretti releases a powerful statement about his senseless murder at the hands of Trump's masked fascist goons.
Please share this far and wide...
"We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital," the family said in a statement provided to CNN.
"Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman."
"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed."
"Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."
It is our responsibility as Americans to get the truth out there. Petti was not attempting to harm anyone. He was swarmed, beaten, and disarmed by vicious federal agents who were looking for someone to hurt. Once they had removed his gun — which he had a legal permit to carry — they executed him in cold blood by firing numerous bullets into him. Then, the Trump administration proceeded to immediately falsely smear him as a "terrorist" who wanted to carry out a mass shooting against law enforcement. They're utterly shameless.
“He cared about people deeply and he was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United States with ICE, as millions of other people are upset,” said Pretti's father Alex. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests.”
Rest in power Alex. The rest of us will carry on the fight.

Maxim Naumov experienced the immeasurable loss of both parents in a plane crash that devastated the US Skating Community. One year later, he takes the lead at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships with a favorite photograph in-hand.
The Trump administration's warning is clear and intentional: We are violent. And we will use violence against you.
The military assault on Venezuela, the shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an ICE agent, the launch of the White House’s new revisionist website about January 6—these three events convey a powerful and unsettling message from Donald Trump and his crew: Violence is ours to use, at home and abroad, to get what we want.
Watch a new analysis from Mother Jones' @DavidCornDC.
Nobody, not even the fiercest right-wing hosts, can back Pete Buttigieg into a corner. He calmly dismantles every attack with facts, logic, and Midwestern charm. It’s literally impossible; the man is unflappable. Impressive every single time. 🚀
Happy New Year friends!
I woke up on this first day of 2026 determined to fight like hell for what's right, what's kind, what's decent, and what's just. And to fight for those who can't fight for themselves. We CAN do this.
Let's roll!
