A great-grandmother and old, yellow dog, Democrat. Mama, Believe nothing you hear, only half of what you see. Daddy, Always question authority, including me.
Trump looked into the camera and said of the ballroom, “This is taxpayer-free. We have no taxpayer putting up 10 cents.”
Three weeks earlier, his own contractor had already put it in writing. The ballroom would cost $600 million, with half of it from you, the taxpayer.
Trump knew. He said it anyway.
This administration has no problem shortchanging Medicaid or food for kids.
But $300 million for a ballroom and a private bunker? Found that money instantly.
I am an appropriator. I see the budget. This was never about what we can afford. It is about who they choose to spend it on.
I will fight this in every hearing, every markup, every vote, until the last dime is accounted for.
Most of my Republican colleagues are silent while the public is robbed in broad daylight.
Where in the hell are they?

Elon Musk is being given 715 acres of land in the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge. A lawsuit has been filed by numerous Conservation groups. They say it violates laws that are protecting refuges and harms endangered species. It’s on a National Historic Landmark.
Tennessee is sending letters to immigrant parents of disabled and terminally ill children enrolled in a last-resort public health program — kids on ventilators, kids with cancer, kids in wheelchairs - telling them that if their child keeps receiving medical care after June 30, the state will report them to ICE.
This program has existed for over 50 years. It has never required immigration status. Until now.
Children's Special Services is Tennessee's last-resort public health insurance program for low-income kids with the most severe disabilities and life-threatening illnesses - kids with no other coverage, no other options. The state just sent letters to at least 90 Nashville families giving them an impossible choice: keep your child alive, or stay invisible.
One mother, Gabriella, has a 10-year-old son born with spina bifida who requires near-monthly emergency care. They're six months from a final ruling on their asylum case. She said if they're sent back to Honduras, "he's not going to make it."
Here's the part that should make your head explode: the law Tennessee is using to justify this explicitly applies only to people 18 and older. These are children. Pediatricians, advocates, and lawmakers are all saying the state is misapplying its own law to reach kids it was never meant to cover.
The Tennessee Justice Center says the directive is unlawful and is preparing a legal challenge. But families are afraid to come forward as plaintiffs. Because coming forward means being seen.
The state health department has not responded to a single press request for comment.
What kind of government sends a letter to the mother of a child on a ventilator and calls it immigration enforcement?

You idiot! They hated, "Obama deal" because it held their feet to the fire and "Trump's deal" is not even a deal. It's a could/might be a deal and if it can be f'cked up? You and he are more than capable to do so. Champion f'ckups.
A 250-foot arch at Arlington. No cost estimate. No congressional approval. Memorializes nothing and no one.
Trump: "We don't need anything from Congress."
There's a 34-year-old law that says otherwise. The graves there disagree too.
UPDATE—First exclusive interview with the woman whose family dog was shot & killed by the LAPD.
"He’s my baby," nurse Marie Marseille said through tears.
"It doesn’t make any sense to me. I can’t make sense of anything."

Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”
