The Senate is now looking at messing with Medicare as well as Medicaid and SNAP in order to get the Trump bill passed. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/senate-...

I do not understand this tendency among journalists to reduce every political event to a prediction about whether it will be a lasting news cycle. On the merits, we have a billionaire who helped a fascist get into power and now believes he can dictate policy. That matters! A lot!

The "feud-is-fake, trump-is-up-to-something" folks are giving trump WAY too much credit. It's like you have as much awe for his supposed intelligence as the trump devotees! You think he has superpowers. He doesn't. He's just a childish, egotistical, venal man having a childish egotistical tantrum...

81 years ago, America's bravest generation stormed the beaches of Normandy in hopes of freeing Europe from the clutches of a brutal authoritarian. Today, we face authoritarianism on our shores. We owe it to ourselves, our country, and that great generation to fight for freedom here at home.

It's almost like governmental employees are there to do important jobs.

This is a political time to wake up EVERYDAY prepared to Speak Truth to Power!........

Are we clear now a private businessman shouldn’t be in a position to control the space program—that this richest man in the world fueled by drugs, ego & hate shouldn’t be partnering with a malignant sociopath in the WH immunized by the SCOTUS & bent on pocketing billions & flouting the Constitution?

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

Elmo is learning what any of us could have told him: that worm was always going to turn. Both still irredeemably evil assholes, of course.

Elon's a fascist who is mad we're not gutting Social Security and Medicare. And Democrats should finish him if we can.

The Harriet Tubman trutherism discourse reminds me of the Anne Frank white privilege discourse, it just seems like a symptom of social media being your only source of information/never reading anything that isn’t on a screen

BREAKING: Judge Boasberg GRANTS class certification for the people held at CECOT and gives the government ONE WEEK to explain how they're going to facilitate due process for EVERYONE sent there under the Alien Enemies Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A glimmer of good news. The reality is she never should have been put through this ordeal in the first place. Glad all of the public support for her resulted in a reprieve from what would have been a deadly deportation. Praying for her health and healing.

DOGE Goons left behind illegal drugs, roaches, garbage and overflowing sinks causing thousands of dollars worth of damage to Institute of Peace during their two month seizure of the building. Not only is Elon Musk using drugs, so is his DOGE gaggle of incels. Drug test DOGE immediately #ProudBlue

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

“I struggle for adjectives to adequately describe the horror that this administration has visited on the world,” said a former State Department official. “It keeps me up at night.”

“We are currently experiencing longer than usual wait times.” 😂😃🙌

Lee Jae-Myung, of Korea's Democratic Party, is projected to have beaten the fascists and won the election. He will be sworn in literally the second the vote totals are announced when in less than 12 hours.

You know what to do

Flood the line.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

She’s worse than useless. Showed no spine by confirming Hegseth. Iowa voters: Get her out!

MAGA kill children. Everyone involved with DOGE have the blood of hundreds of thousands on their hands. Murderers.

When constituents brought up that cutting Medicaid and SNAP will lead to people dying, MAGA Senator Joni Ernst replied with a smile: “well we all are going to die.” This is what autogenocide looks like. They are purging the elderly, disabled, and ill. #3E

"Getting rid of USAID is a very easy way of winning headlines... But if your one accomplishment in government is to rip funds away from the neediest, so that they can die, so they can be unmedicated, so that they can starve, that is a moral stain that I hope will haunt you 'til the day you die."

Tragic and shameful. Nicholas Kristof documents the deaths which are happening because of the United States’ cancellation of lifesaving aid. Gift 🎁 article. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/o...

Elon Musk is responsible for at least 300,000 deaths, a number that's steadily increasing, it doesn't include Ukrainian civilians murdered as a result of his attempt to protect the Russian navy when he disabled Starlink to sabotage a Ukrainian defence operation.
