Cardinal McElroy at Mass for World Day of Migrants and Refugees: “We are witnessing an unprecedented assault on our nation…this assault is intended to make life miserable for undocumented migrants…our government is engaged in a comprehensive campaign of fear at its core.”

New CBO analysis is devastating to GOP claims that Medicaid can be slashed without cutting benefits.
Even two supposedly easier proposals — repealing eligibility reforms & capping costs on coverage for hard-pressed workers — would end Medicaid coverage for 5+ million people.
My new piece in @TheHillOpinion with Josh Waldman:
The inconvenient truths for Republican about why Medicaid fraud claims are just a false pre-text to cut Medicaid benefits to pay for high-income tax cuts. thehill.com/opinion/healthca…

Remarkable that a gravely ill Pope Francis lived just long enough to issue one more impassioned Easter plea for peace, for justice, for compassion for the most vulnerable.
Let his final earthly words be a prod to the consciences of our leaders and all mankind.

The Republican budget includes $7 trillion—TRILLION, with a T—in giveaways to billionaire donors and big corporations while ripping health care and food away from millions.
Democrats are fighting back. We stand with working families. We👏🏽won’t👏🏽back👏🏽down👏🏽

Two million people trapped with no access to aid or assistance. Tens of thousands of dead people. The wounded. Orphans. This is the reality in Gaza today.

RM @RepRaskin delivers his opening statement during today’s hearing on how MAGA Republicans want to change how the judicial system works because Trump keeps losing in court.

A Maryland father with legal status, on his way to pick up his autistic son, was seized by ICE and deported. No hearing, no charges, no judge—just shackled and disappeared into a Salvadoran mega-prison, indefinitely.
@RepRaskin explains: This is what happens when due process is cast aside. The Trump Administration trampled the Constitution, admits to their mistake, and now claims the man’s fate is out of their hands.

Will ANYONE in a position of authority investigate this? The FBI? Congress? Betting odds are no!
What's chilling is that had they not accidentally put a reporter on that chain, we'd never have known about the larger breach--transmitting war plans on an open source network.
How many other serious gaffes like this are happening because people were hired for key positions only for their personal loyalty and appearance on TV?
After Secretary Hegseth argued “nobody was texting war plans," The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg responds: “That’s a lie. He was texting war plans, he was texting attack plans."
"When targets were going to targeted. How they were going to be targeted. Who was at the targets. When the next sequence of attacks were happening. I didn’t publish this…because it felt like it was too confidential.”

Europeans grasp Trump’s threat to U.S. democracy better than we do. Having experienced dictatorship, they’re warning us that flirting with authoritarianism never turns out well. And Trump is making his intentions perfectly clear.

If Republicans were serious about improving health outcomes for Americans, they would support proven and effective hunger and nutrition programs.
Instead, they do nothing to address the price gouging of mega groceries that raise the cost of food for struggling American families.

There has been a massive redistribution of wealth in America. But it has gone in exactly the wrong direction.
Since 1975, over $50 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% as corporations spend their profits on stock buybacks and dividends.

Why so little attention to what Trump would do if he won—his corrupt anti-climate agenda & everything else? He dodges one scandal with another. His party helps him obliterate ethical standards. Routinized lying has a dulling effect.

When Trump says "he'll leave it up to the states,"...Arizona's Supreme Court's ruling that the state revert to 1864 when it comes to women's access to healthcare and abortion is a result of that thinking. He owns all of this. One can be conservative but still horrified about what's happening to women's healthcare rights. We will stand by other women. VOTE!

The Immaculate Heart sisters, who ran the school she attended, taught Sister Simone Campbell (@sr_simone) a lesson she says shaped her life as a nun and lawyer for the working poor. "They always helped us know that Jesus wasn't historical, Jesus is now."
