Just minutes ago Trump and Republicans advanced a budget that absolutely GUTS healthcare and then gives crazy tax breaks to the wealthiest people in the country. Seriously… in the dead of night. How does this bill Make Life Better for working Americans?

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

Shoutout to Whitney Plantation, who has always BANNED WEDDINGS at their location and allowed the entire facility and its grounds to be an indoor and outdoor museum. It also houses the genealogical records for over 100,000 enslaved people. You can search for your loved ones in its archives.

This should be bigger news: ICYMI - Project 2025’s puppet master Russell Vought just replaced Elon as head of DOGE. People still in denial & believe Trump knew nothing about Project 2025, need to explain why he just handed the keys to the whole damn thing to its architect. He is the plan. Wake up.

If the Bucks County Sheriff proceeds with its illegal implementation of a so-called 287g agreement with ICE, Bucks County taxpayers will be on the hook for litigation costs and any liability that the agreement incurs.

See this actually feels like a real inflection point. If the Trump administration feels no real compunction about putting the chief executive of a major U.S. city in custody for protest, then there’s really nothing keeping anyone else out of the clink.

This isn't Vegas. What happens in South Asia won't stay in South Asia. A regional war involving just 100 nukes will wreck the climate and trigger global famine. Two billion people would starve to death as a result. If India and Pakistan go over the cliff, the whole world goes with them.

Trump for Pope, a third term, re-opening Alcatraz. These stories all serve a critical purpose. To distract from the story of our age: that the President of the United States is enriching his family with billions by running a corruption racket right out of the Oval Office.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen something so simultaneously absurd and disturbing: the House will vote Monday on a bill that would punish Americans for participating in boycotts of Israel with fines of up to $1 MILLION or prison terms up to TWENTY YEARS.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

“If we have someone in our custody who has been convicted of a violent crime and is in the country illegally, we should absolutely notify ICE,” said Danny Ceisler, a @padems.org looking to unseat Republican Sheriff Fred Harran in November. “You don’t need 287(g) to do that.” Makes sense.
