Mike Johnson is lying when he says their bill won’t cut Medicaid. The simple truth is, Johnson’s bill will leave 13.7 million Americans uninsured. Spread the word.

My radical position is that congress should remove a president if he pronounces that his predecessor was assassinated and replaced by a clone

The passage of the FY26 balanced budget is a testament to Illinois’ fiscal responsibility. Even in the face of Trump stalling the national economy, we're delivering for working families without raising their taxes — and while protecting progress for long-term fiscal health.

The Department of Education was deep into an investigation of a school district where students allegedly played whipping sounds from their phones during a lesson about slavery. Then in March, Trump fired all of the employees working on the case.

ICE officer names and faces should be public knowledge.

We’ve been robbed blind.

Department of Homeland Security barged Congressman Jerry Nadler’s office Accused staff members of “harboring rioters” And handcuffed one of his staffers “‘The Trump administration is trying to intimidate members of Congress..They’re behaving like fascists,” Nadler said youtu.be/2d2GCrqIgXA

Donald must be arrested & questioned about Clone-gate. It's just like this nitwit TACO to confess to crimes in social media posts. If he's found guilty by a jury of his peers, he should be SENT TO THE HAGUE. LET'S SENTENCE HIM FOR THE FELONIES HE'S GUILTY OF HAVING COMMITTED TOO.

I guess she’s DYING ahead of everyone!!! 😂🤣😅

Musk looks and acts like the supervillian Skeletor.

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil alleges that the Trump administration and pro-Israel groups coordinated to target him. His team demands records of the government's communications with doxxing groups, a controversial Columbia alumni chat, and Senators John Fetterman & Ted Cruz.

New York has a higher per-capita income, a lower crime rate and a functional insurance system.

PBS insisted on removing a 90-second segment from a documentary about Art Spiegelman that was critical of Donald Trump. Daniel Engber reports on a worrying trend in public television:

US Court of International Trade has issued unanimous ruling in case against Trump “liberation day” tariffs ruling also covers case filed by 12 states led by Oregon All tariffs invalidated as beyond scope of executive power; implementation blocked by permanent injunction, per @ilyasomin.bsky.social

"Trump cares not one wit about those who, unlike him, risked their lives. Quite the opposite: he has made life notably challenging for vets."  Jen Rubin writes about how America owes its vets much more.

U-Haul's slogan is “Moving Made Easier” but it’s turning into “Hate on the Move.” Hey @UHaul.com — you better figure out how to stop renting trucks to Patriot Front, or you’re going to be known as the official moving van of white supremacists.

Bless you.

The House GOP snuck a provision into the budget bill that would strip away any consequences for officials who defy a judge’s ruling. It’s yet another attack on what @judgeluttig.bsky.social says is “the last obstacle to a president with designs on tyrannical rule.” Luttig joins @ 11aET #Velshi

The billionaires are robbing us blind

At this point trumps tariff threats are just stock market manipulation. Nobody will prosecute him. Just fyi: break the law today you better hope statute of limitations runs out… you will be held accountable eventually

Watch what they do, not what they say.

Perhaps CNN is figuring out why no one is watching CNN. It's just one big informercial occasionally interrupted by Scott Jennings lying.

This is real. “Suck it.” The Secretary of the US Department of Homeland Security.

Three Well-Tested Ways to Undermine an Autocrat flip.it/Tbf2p7

AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

I can't think of any group of people who qualify less for my sympathy than wealthy white South Africans.

The Big MAGA Con: huge tax breaks for the wealthy, higher taxes for some taxpayers making less than $51K. Cuts in Medicaid and food stamps—so people who need the social safety net are screwed. And a big increase in deficits. The oligarchs win. MAGA is a lie. The US is weakened.

The “big, beautiful” bill ain’t beautiful—it’s bullshit. House Republicans just voted for the largest cut to SNAP & Medicaid in U.S. history—turning their backs on their own damn constituents: the working people they were sent here to represent. They don’t serve the people. They serve the rich.

Americans could see major changes to Medicaid, food stamps, border security and taxes under a sweeping Republican bill that passed the House. The proposal, which President Trump has dubbed the "big, beautiful bill," would enact his major campaign promises. Read more: bit.ly/4dw4clp

I understand this will sound hyperbolic but it's more accurate than not to say anything you care about, this bill seeks to destroy.
