New CBO projections indicate the House-passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act would lead to 16 million people becoming uninsured. See how this would increase uncompensated care costs in your state 👇

In 2022, undocumented immigrants contributed an estimated $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes. In contrast, in 2023, Amazon, GM, IBM, and Netflix combined paid just $12.9 billion in income taxes. Just something to think about.

Citizen journalists are how we get the word out about the peaceful protests!

Sending in the military against the wishes of the people and their governor isn't law and order, it's an invasion.

An American icon. He changed the landscape of an entire genre while creating his own. He made every living artist up their game. Where the Beatles needed George Martin, he needed nobody. Not even his band. He made you feel a season. Best of all, he was ours. Love you Brian Wilson.

The Constitution guarantees all citizens the right to freedom of speech The right to peaceably assemble The right to petition the government for a redress of grievances I’ll be DAMNED if I let some wannabe dictator take away MY rights See you on Saturday, Trump NO KINGS

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

17 dedicated doctors, pediatricians, scientists, and parents who served on the Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices (ACIP) were just fired by Secretary Kennedy based on false claims of conflicts of interest – a dangerous and unprecedented action that makes our families less safe.

A Neo-Nazi group planning training event in U.S. sounds like a open call for ICE recruitment. The trump regime has gleefully turned a blind eye to right-wing extremism. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I’m for the U.S. Army having lots of tanks. I’m against having them in the streets of Washington, D.C.

When ICE agents operate like a clandestine force, hiding their faces and removing nametags, it's not law enforcement – it's intimidation. This isn't lawful, it's the behavior of an organization acting like a terrorist group

#HealthFacts most people on #Medicaid will NOT, contrary to repubs lies, go onto employers’ health insurance if they lose Medicaid. Instead they will be uninsured and cost all of us more in health care costs.

"Mr. President, Elon gave you 250 million dollars, and you haven't said ‘thank you’ once."

This is horrible. This is not who we are. Thread.👇

US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, who oversees the National Hurricane Center, testified to Congress it’s fully staffed. But the administration fired meteorologists, and the nation’s top hurricane forecasting office is not fully staffed as the season is underway.

MAGA is feverishly figuring out if they're on Team Ketamine or Team Epstein.

Back on my bullshit

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

Please excuse us. We are done for the day. We have grabbed our popcorn and wine to settle in for the show. We will be back at it tomorrow.

Women are too emotionally unstable and incompetent to govern.

This is not a denial

Here is your statistic of the day: Nine out of 10 federal employees laid off by DOGE since March worked in liberal-leaning agencies. All proposed budget increases go to conservative agencies, with the bulk going to the most conservative agencies.

Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.

For nearly 60 years, voters and groups have used the Voting Rights Act to file lawsuits against racially discriminatory policies. But suddenly one federal appeals court has decided that was all wrong — and its ruling must be reversed.
