If Trump’s DOJ folds on this like they did with Ashli Babbitt it will be Trump directly subsidizing a violent right-wing militia with our tax money. Beyond an outrage.

Yes, yes. I'm sure it's a distraction. But it's a *really* fun one.

These two psychos have access to all your personal data, by the way.

Everyone rn

😬

Germany’s Chancellor Merz presented Trump the birth certificate of his German grandfather, Friedrich Trump. It was a clever jab to remind Trump he’s a German immigrant.

We need details on this.

Selling off national parks to private corporations is theft — of land, ecosystems, and public trust. Once they’re sold, they’re stripped, drilled, mined, and wrecked. And most of that damage can’t be undone.

"Support for the law firms that didn’t make deals has been growing... "At least 11 big companies are moving work away from firms that settled with the administration or are giving more business to firms that have been targeted but refused to strike deals..." www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Why aren’t Dems on everything talking about the Joni Ernst “you can die” bill?

We're all living in the danger zone. What the hell is going on and why!

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Breaking News: The CDC kept Covid shots on an updated vaccination schedule for children, days after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said they would be taken off.

I think we’ve found the new GOP motto:

BREAKING: Highly Contagious COVID Variant NB.1.8.1 Detected in California Amid Ongoing Vaccine Crackdown.

There’s something particularly cruel about restricting access to COVID vaccines in a country that doesn’t provide universal healthcare to its citizens. Where Long Covid could quickly bankrupt you. Healthcare should be a basic human right (and that includes vaccinations)

Said it before, I’ll say it again. We shouldn’t privatize NASA. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/s...

Even after all this, the @nytimes continues to normalize it

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Jong-Fast: This would be the largest cut to food assistance in US history—and it will result in hungry kids. It’s also important to mention that this bill grows the deficit. I don’t know how it manages to do the two things you absolutely don’t want—starve children and grow the deficit—but it does.

Imagine how we would view this if it was happening in another country

Watch what they do, not what they say.

Here is my worry… it’s going to be a long time before people feel the cuts made in this bill and a lot of them will be felt during the next presidency. If a dem wins this will set them up for failure. It will take decades to clean this up and dems will be blamed.

Takano: This bill will hurt veterans. 1.5 million veterans get their healthcare through Medicaid. They are slashing programs to try to pay for these tax cuts—except they’re not actually paying for them. It’s going to create additional deficits, which means all of the cuts are only a partial payment.

To understand what the GOP is forcing through at midnight: •Gutting $880 billion from Medicaid •Gutting $500 billion from Medicare •Gutting funding for SNAP (food assistance) •Gutting clean energy protections, which will also cost 400,000 jobs 1/2

Crockett: That’s why they hired everybody from Fox because all they’re trying to do is put on a show.. I want us to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in ICE custody… *Applause* Van Drew: *bangs gavel*

It’s still hard for me to believe that after so many years of deranged posts like this, we’ve still never had a serious national conversation about this man’s mental health.

Pence: "Individuals who broke into the Capitol, who assaulted police officers...should have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law...The heroes on January 6 were all wearing uniforms...To have pardoned the people who assaulted police officers that day, was wrong."

Here’s a list of President Biden’s many accomplishments. Thank you Joe. 💙🙏

He's my favourite American 😎💙

Exactly! And Who Is George Clooney?😊

THANK YOU

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, 8647 are all distractions from the fact that the credit rating for the United States of America has dropped for the first time in 100 years. They are robbing the country blind. Stay focused. The Boss and Swift will be o.k.

Trump Republicanism in action. What could possibly go wrong? www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

He wants Comey arrested for his 86 comment and then he goes online and threatens Bruce Springsteen. I can’t believe this is the world we live in…

It needs to be drummed out until our ears bleed. Thank you, Chris Murphy.

Duckworth: "He's accepting a bribe, which is unconstitutional and illegal. And he's gonna accept an aircraft that then is gonna cost taxpayers another billion dollars at a time when he wants to cut funding for Medicaid. It's simple unacceptable."
