Don't create the problem in the first place.

That ought to do it.

While a setback in any one local mobile crisis response system is of course disappointing, the fundamental strength and wisdom of the mobile crisis response model remains a proven approach to save lives on the street.

Senate Republicans would pay for those new corporate tax breaks by making even deeper cuts to Medicaid, slashing funding for rural hospitals and other essential health care providers and throwing cash-strapped states off a funding cliff.

The House Republican version of this bill was already a class war, but Senate Republicans decided to inflict even more devastation on the lives of working Americans to give even larger handouts to the top.

Senate Democrats are going to fight this with everything we’ve got.

This ought to be an easy no.

In my time in the Senate I’ve never seen a Senator treated this way. [Senator Padilla] is carrying out his constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight and defend the people he represents.

For the vast majority of hardworking Americans who pay what they owe on time and in full, it means not getting their calls answered and bearing a larger share of audits.

For wealthy and corporate tax cheats, an IRS starved of resources means a free pass.

Besides being unfair to honest taxpayers, hobbling the IRS increases the deficit.

When Republicans forced through IRS budget cuts between 2010 and 2021, the results were clear. As the IRS enforcement staff shrank by 30%, audit rates fell for millionaires by 77% and for large corporations by half. Freeloaders rejoiced.

If they invoke this nuclear option now, they should expect that a future Democratic government will have to revisit decades worth of paltry corporate settlements, deferred prosecution agreements, and tax rulings that were overly favorable…

This whole thicket of red tape bureaucracy is being deployed in order to keep people who are eligible from getting covered.

The largest Medicaid cut in history.

Trump spent his entire first term blathering about Big Pharma, but in the end he always backed down instead of fighting for American seniors and families.

Donald Trump is all hat and no cattle when it comes to lowering the price of prescription drugs.

This analysis from the non-partisan, independent CBO is straightforward: the Republican plan for health care means benefit cuts and terminated health insurance for millions of Americans who count on Medicaid.

There’s a trust gap between the nominee and the American people before he’s even gotten in the door.

He could lie by denying any American who paid their Social Security taxes the benefits they've earned, claiming some phony pretense.

All Americans should be concerned that a nominee for a position of public trust like commissioner of Social Security is accused of lying about his actions at the agency and that efforts to bring this important information to light are…

If Mr. Bisignano can get away with lying before he's even in place as commissioner, who knows what else he'll be able to get away with once he's in office.

If this continues to be our tariff policy, every major economist and forecaster is unfortunately predicting recession, job losses, and the misery that was all over our news feeds this morning.

The only winner from Donald Trump's trade chaos is China, which is scooping up markets and trading partners that Trump has driven away.

In any sane world, it would be a scandal that the vast majority of one political party would vote for a pointless tax on the American people, one that is hiking prices and destroying jobs, all to please one man.
