Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

MUST WATCH! The numbers don't lie, this bill doesn't just cut Medicaid, it adds $20 trillion in new debt. #HealthCareCutsKill

Mmm-hmmm.

It’s pretty wild that MAGA is so invested in the fake genocide of white farmers in South Africa but they’re totally cool with Putin slaughtering Ukrainians daily and don’t want to give them a pathway to U.S. citizenship.

Disgusting. That’s what happens when you put a fox in charge of the hen house

The reason you're having trouble concentrating if you are here in the US is because we're basically being chased around by serial killers and being asked to disregard the fact.

This is fucking insane someone please stop this

If you want democrats to stop bringing knives to a gunfight, arm them with a MAJORITY in 2026 😀💙

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

Fraud and so forth usually gets worse under Republican admins because they cut staff and refuse to enforce the law, but under Trump/DOGE that's been turbocharged. Sure thing, buy millions in puts right before a report says a company's going bankrupt. Nobody will bother to investigate it. 🤷‍♂️

Republicans are about to strip 13.7 million Americans of healthcare so does anyone know where I can find some nonstop coverage about the previous president being old??

Charging Rep. McIver for lawful oversight is a dangerous abuse of power. This isn’t justice—it’s retaliation. I stand with her and with every Member defending our democracy. We must not be silent in the face of this.

💯

So if you suddenly try to break into Congress to murder the VP you've supported for 4 years because he won't break the law and the police shoot you, your family gets 5 million dollars? Do I have that right, humans?

I mean, it’s a weaponized incompetence

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

It’s still hard for me to believe that after so many years of deranged posts like this, we’ve still never had a serious national conversation about this man’s mental health.

The goal of the Trump Administration is to make life miserable for Americans while profiting the 1%. But due to disinformation and propaganda we have 40% willing to die to own the libs. The country is broken.

Back the blue? Your followers BEAT the blue on Jan. 6 and then you pardoned them. Shameful.

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.

It seems to me that this administration will keep firing intelligence analysts until they can find one who will lie to justify the regime disappearing perceived enemies to foreign torture dungeons.

I took this pic of then Vice President Joe Biden in the Oval Office back in September 2015. I’ll never forget how, during the 2020 campaign, he would make a point of saying the press is NOT the enemy of the people. Thinking of President Biden as he takes on this next battle. Godspeed Mr. President.

The same people who say Adriana Smith should stay hooked up to machines so a fetus can gestate inside her dead body for 7 months because “it’s a sacrifice a mother would make” can’t fathom a mother crossing the border with her children in hopes of providing a better life for them.

To the cartoonist who drew this, well done.

Ah yes, rugged individualism, American style.

Great question

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

Duckworth: "He's accepting a bribe, which is unconstitutional and illegal. And he's gonna accept an aircraft that then is gonna cost taxpayers another billion dollars at a time when he wants to cut funding for Medicaid. It's simple unacceptable."

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is “our time to stand up and be heard.”

No, you’re not crazy. They are deporting brown people and importing white people.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

Lol, put federal employees in trauma to get them to leave, institute hiring freezes across the government, then lament that there’s a lot of trouble getting new blood in. Very smart.

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

Many American voters are likely to excessively overcorrect from 2024-2025 to look for honest, authentic, effective, consistent communicators who don’t rely on slogans and platitudes in 2026-28. They aren’t plentiful.

Well this is rich

They’re eating the cats! They’re eating the dogs!

Art of the Deal!!

If a person can’t afford bail, the time they spend in jail can be devastating to their career, housing, relationships, health and safety. The cash bail system also disproportionately affects Black and Latino communities and has an outsized effect on women.

It's almost as if granting a criminal blanket immunity was a bad idea.

Public health isn’t their priority—it’s the first thing they’re gutting. Trump and RFK Jr. are risking the lives of every Michigander with their irresponsible actions and we’re not going to let it slide. michiganadvance.com/2025/05/12/n...

Oh man this is it

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

Murphy: "There's no guarantee that we are gonna have a free and fair election in 2026. He's trying to rig our democracy, to destroy dissent, to cripple the opposition, so that even if his approval ratings are in the 30s next year, there isn't the ability for his opposition to muster a real campaign"

Trump capitulated to China and got nothing out of it. After weeks of on and off tariffs, the only thing Trump did was cause the market to freak out, screw up the entire supply chain, destroy the dollar as the “reserve currency", and killed the US’s soft power advantage.

So gently worded
