😡😡😡😡

There's a lot happening right now, but this week, Republicans unveiled some new changes in their Big, Ugly, Betrayal of a bill and snuck in a provision that would allow them to SELL OFF OUR PUBLIC LANDS.   No way. Our public lands are NOT for sale.   Help me spread the word.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

Republicans want to sell our public lands in Colorado. www.denverpost.com/2025/06/12/c...

This seems a bit different than what Trump is saying.

A document circulated to members of Congress misinterprets studies and cites debunked research, scientists say. It could influence congressional perceptions of vaccine safety.

Holy shit. "Has been killed in the line of duty." Just horrendously unethical and dishonest.

Trump’s tax bill, which robs from the poor to boost the rich, steers hundreds of billions of dollars into wasteful pet projects. Here we survey the biggest boondoggles of the Big Beautiful Bill ⤵️

It's not clear what all of the GOP's last-minute changes are or if this bill has the votes to pass, but Mike Johnson is moving forward with a middle-of-the-night vote on Trump's sweeping policy package that slashes health and nutrition programs to enrich the rich. www.huffpost.com/entry/house-...

Three teenagers in Colorado almost got away with an arson attack that killed an innocent family. The way detectives caught them could put all of us at risk: www.wired.com/story/find-m...

We asked Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks about her vote to take health care away from 13.7 million Americans. She ran away.

Fight Trump's politicization of public services. Write a comment opposing the proposed Office of Personnel Management rule to politicize public services. You can do it in 5 minutes. Deadline is May 23rd!

On top of the cuts to Medicaid and the ACA, this bill proposes $500 BILLION in Medicare cuts. Republicans don't care who they hurt as long as they get their tax cuts. Beyond egregious! youtu.be/WKKZjLwk3sc?...

By a vote of 51-45, the #Senate confirmed Charles Kushner to be Ambassador to the French Republic and to the Principality of Monaco. Dem senator voting in favor: Booker. GOP senator voting no: Murkowski. Senators not voting: Hawley, Kelly, Schatz, & Wicker.

Unbelievable. With Dem support, the senate passes an industry-friendly crypto bill that does nothing about Trump's crypto corruption. Ignore these Dems' speeches. Watch their votes. They're telling you they don't get it. And then they spam you to say Trump is bad so please donate more money.

At least 27 are dead in Missouri in Kentucky after severe weather alerts were delayed overnight because of DOGE cuts. www.mesoscalenews.com/p/tornado-wa...

🚨REPORT: The Trump-GOP attack on Medicaid could close 15 rural hospitals in TN Republicans are willing to sacrifice rural hospitals and YOUR access to care just to give their billionaire sponsors tax breaks they don’t need. NEWSWEEK: www.newsweek.com/medicaid-cut...

BREAKING: The Trump administration is working on a plan to permanently relocate up to 1 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Libya, five people with knowledge of the effort told NBC News.

President Trump is quite literally selling seats to a private dinner and White House tours to foreign nationals for $4 million+ a piece. Much of the money goes into his own pocket. This is corruption to the highest degree.

Pretty incredible that Jeff Bezos' Amazon announced a "$5 billion-plus" partnership w/ a Saudi AI co launched by Mohammed Bin Salman and sent CEO Andy Jassy to meet with him less than 7 years after MBS murdered Jamal Khashoggi, a columnist for Bezos' Washington Post. techcrunch.com/2025/05/13/a...

Russian FSB spy ring members including 2 honeypots each sentenced up to 10 years in prison in Britain. They were arrested in a raid in 2023. Their espionage spanned years across Europe, including at the US military base in Stuttgart, Germany.

More like how many people lost their jobs because the oligarchs thought a computer could kind of write a sentence a lot cheaper than a human could write one.

How dare my chatbot spread the same lies I am without my consent.

Time to sing for democracy!

When Nixon and Ohio’s governor did this in Ohio to stop a peace march, it ended in one of the greatest tragedies to haunt our nation. Ohio National Guardsmen killing unarmed college kids. This is not a mission the guard has any business undertaking.
