AP News · Trump administration hands over nation's Medicaid enrollee data to ICEU.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials will gain access to personally identifiable information for all of the nation’s 79 million Medicaid enrollees. That's according to an agreement obtained by The Associated Press. ICE officials plan to track immigrants who may not be living legally in the United States. The agreement was signed Monday between officials at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Department of Homeland Security. Direct access will be given to the addresses, Social Security numbers, birth dates as well as the ethnicity and race of all Medicaid enrollees.

@locuta Als de midterm verkiezingen niet gestolen worden dan kondigt #trump de noodtoestand af en vinden er geen verkiezingen meer plaats. Zie #florida verkiezingen uitgesteld. Stelen: massaal mensen van de lijst stemgerechtigde afvoeren; gerrymandering kiesdistricten; verwijderen postboxes; kieslokalen beperken of ver weg van kiezers uit #dem districten etc. manipulatie stemmachines waarvoor steeds meer aanwijzingen zijn dat dat bij de laatste verkiezingen is gebeurd #swingstates

I'll start to believe #magat regrets, when they promise they'll vote #Dem from now on, and destroy/burn/shred all their fanboy shirts, signs, body pillows, posters, flags, security blankets, etc.

Until then, they're mildly inconvenienced & still in that cult.

These maps by @njmapguy in xitter were linked in this morning’s #NJ #Politico newsletter. They show that in the #NJGovernersRace, trump pal Citatelli has made #visits to MANY more places in the state than #Democrat #MikieSherrill. This is not good, considering that one of #Mandami’s key strategies in the #Dem NYC primary was meeting and talking with people throughout the city. #TeamMikie, please wake up to an important message!

Sherrill visits on left, Citarelli visits on right.

@number6 @CptSuperlative People who call Dems evil are ridiculous.
Social security.
Medicare.
Medicaid.
Meals on wheels.
PBS.
Affordable Care Act.
Violence Against Women Act.
Student loan forgiveness for the first time in history.
First Black woman Supreme Court Justice.
Women on the Supreme Court at all.
Gay marriage.
Free lunch for kids.

That's a partial list of #Dempolicy that is consistent with the #Dem platform.
They help people.

@jef Vote for every #Dem candidate if you're not a fucking idiot.
Jesus Christ.
Feelings about a candidate are irrelevant when the stakes are this high.
Be rational, responsible adults.
Vote for the only fucking people (DEMS)who care about other people and stop being myopic, performative dipshits.

AOC is NOT smart or effective.

She's just the pretty girl liberal men lust after. PATHETIC.

When people heard, “I'm not Trump,” their response — whether out loud or in silence — was, “Okay... but what more are you?”

You need to be more than just not the monster. You need to give people something real to believe in.

And it has to be something new, something inspiring — not the same tired promises they've heard their whole lives from everyone who came before you.

The problem with many political arguments is that people fall into a "them vs. us" mindset. It's an easy trap to fall into — I've been guilty of it myself.

But real victory requires seeing the full picture.

Why did Donald Trump win? Because some people like monsters. That's not an argument in favor of monsters. But the fact remains: we had record voter turnout — and Donald Trump still won. That means a lot of people sat this one out, and many of those who showed up were pro-monster.

Donald Trump inspired his base. Kamala Harris did not inspire the other half of the country.

This isn't rocket science — it's simple logic.

In a country where people were either looking for a monster or something genuinely better than what they've always had, someone like Kamala Harris was never going to win. She represented more of the same.

Again, not rocket science. Just logic. And accepting that reality is how you understand what we're working with.

This is the America we're working with.

If it's not progressive, it will be conservative.

There's a hard pill that some people — especially those in the establishment and in leadership — don't want to swallow.

Come the midterms, I want everyone to remember a phrase I've been saying for years:

"If it's not progressive, it will be conservative."

The kind of change Americans are looking for is fundamental. That's why Kamala Harris lost — she positioned herself as a centrist moderate at a time when the country isn't interested in “same thing, different day” politics.

It's a hard pill for some to swallow, but the results speak for themselves.

Maybe democracy still exists in Costa Rica-
"...a resolution issued on the eve of a visit by the US secretary of homeland security.
About 200 people from Afghanistan, Iran, Russia as well as from Africa and some other Asian countries, including 80 children, were brought to the Central American nation in February under an agreement with the US administration of Donald Trump, a move criticized by human rights organizations."

The president is bashing Zohran Mamdani after the democratic socialist’s surprise trouncing of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in last night’s Democratic primary in the city’s mayoral race.

“It’s finally happened, the Democrats have crossed the line,” Trump wrote in a social media post, bashing Mamdani, as “a 100% Communist Lunatic.”

“We’ve had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous,” he went on adding: “He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he’s not very smart.”

National Republicans have been pointing to Mamdani’s far-left positions like city-run grocery stores as a further sign that the Democratic Party is out of touch with Americans.

AP NewsLive updates: Trump contradicts US intelligence report on Iran strikeA U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency report suggests that Iran’s nuclear program has been set back only a few months after U.S. strikes and was not “completely and fully obliterated." Trump rejected this assessment and the White House called it “flat-out wrong.”

@gleick This was entirely preventable.
People just had to show up and vote straight ticket #Dem

They didn't.

And many people still aren't listening to reason.
There are too many very loud idiots who are listened to instead of experts.
People who don't know how things function and don't bother to learn will always be pounding sand.
