US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies. https://t.co/plQxq1w87L

Great line by @crampell in her sharp new @BulwarkOnline column, on Trump's musings about shifting health care $ to individuals: "It’s not totally clear what this would entail, and it’s always dangerous to spend more time analyzing a Trump policy than he spent coming up with it."

"It seems like Donald Trump and Republicans have learned pretty much nothing from the Biden experience, which was not a super successful one. In fact, Donald Trump seems hell bent on raising prices wherever he can." @crampell breaks it down in Receipts: https://t.co/CT1XasBZGN

Republicans "learned nothing from how badly ... the Democrats bungled inflation," writes @crampell. "They’re repeating some of the same mistakes and adopting the same useless gimmicks." In fact, they’re "pursuing policies that make the problem worse."

NEW: @propublica investigates the Chicago raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged; - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.
New: Agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter in a massive show of force. Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. But after the cameras were gone, federal prosecutors did not charge anyone.

Yeah whoever jacked up tariffs on coffee from Brazil earlier this year must be a real bonehead
🚨TRUMP: “The economy is MY THING.”🚨 @POTUS told me he’s cutting tariffs to bring COFFEE prices down and expects GAS at $2 a gallon. Real relief — not slogans.

OK this is amazing. Trump’s Truth Social has its own AI search tool, which debuted a month after Trump signed an exec order ending “Woke AI” in federal government. Here's how it responds to questions about tariffs, who won 2020 election, Jan 6, etc: https://t.co/dD3tCUSqhv

NEWS -- SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON plans to swear in Rep.-elect ADELITA GRIJALVA before the government funding vote. This will not change the vote count on the funding bill. But it will put the EPSTEIN discharge petition over the 218-signature threshold. @PunchbowlNews text

Tell me you don’t understand risk pools without saying you don’t understand risk pools
Up to 40% of Obamacare enrollees never file a claim. That’s billions in taxpayer dollars flowing to insurance companies for people who don’t even use the system. Republicans are committed to ending the fraud and making healthcare truly affordable.
