Mike Lee’s grotesque suggestion that Marxism had anything to do with the murder of a State Representative and her husband shows you how effective the use of the term is in triggering MAGA into fits of conniption and clouded judgment, as they run to the safety and blissful ignorance of Big Daddy 47.

Dear Ms. Ernst. There is as much physical evidence for your version of life after death as there is for the tooth fairy or Santa Clause, but your being a “believer” doesn’t make your comment about your fellow Americans dying from the cuts in this Bad Billionaire’s Bill any less cruel or heartless.

Since Drumpf’s installment in January, my PIR, (Personal Inflation Rate), is probably running at close to 10%. My supplemental insurance premium, food prices and cost of everyday services keep going up, but you know his administration will manipulate the data to show inflation at an all-time low.

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

Another day, another scandal under Hegseth. This is not silly stuff like Hegseth using taxpayer funds for a Pentagon makeup studio. The allegation here is an illegal wiretap. If they used an illegal wiretap on a senior official, you think they wouldn’t hesitate to use it on you?

Donald Trump marked Memorial Day with a bitter, grievance-filled screed attacking judges, immigrants, and his political rivals—and did not even mention the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Despite the desperate state of this nation and how dire the moment is, I still see a disturbing, widespread white procrastination right now: too many people seemingly waiting for a future moment they will step fully into the fray. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/white-frie...

Lawmakers have defended the bill as simply purging Medicaid of illegal immigrants and ensuring that those who can work are not relying on Medicaid in order to avoid doing so. It’s a wildly inaccurate portrayal of what these reforms will actually do.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this.

Nope, the Trump administration hasn't given up on trying to ban abortion. Just this week, RFK Jr. pushed a fake report about the abortion medication mifepristone. He's peddling misinformation so he can lay the groundwork for restricting abortion access no matter where you live.

Just got home from another hospital stay. Today I have to set up home health care between our house and her group home. Her meds alone cost 40-45k per MONTH before insurance.Between that and her routine care, we’d be bankrupt in months without Medicaid. #HealthCareHorrorStories
