This is so familiar to anyone who’s followed Bolsonaro and the Brazilian populist far-right over the last six years. Blaming courts is a twofer: a bid for more unchecked power, and an excuse for the populist’s inability to deliver results. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/u...

I feel like I've entered the twilight zone. Republicans are bragging about tax cuts for gun silencers while trying to kick 14 MILLION Americans off their health care.

I am certain that we will not hear about deficits and debt ever again from Republicans who are about to vote for a bill that adds more debt to a country’s balance sheet than any piece of legislation in the history of the human race.

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

We're cooked.
