The budget bill in the Senate right now is a nightmare for the American People. Join me and Senator Elizabeth Warren as we discuss. FULL INTERVIEW LINK HERE—> youtu.be/97vTaGGFOIg

Nearly 14 MILLION people are estimated to lose their health insurance under Republicans' “big beautiful bill.” That's like everyone in: Wyoming Vermont Alaska North Dakota Montana Maine New Hampshire Hawaii West Virginia Idaho and Nebraska COMBINED.

Sen. Booker (D-NJ): “I am sick and tired of hearing this kind of heated partisan rhetoric, which is one of the reasons we have divisions in this country. The attacks we see from POTUS, trolling and dragging judges is what we should be talking about that puts people in danger.”

This may save millions of lives--except in the US, where ignorant kook Robert Kennedy Jr will probably ban it because of some ridiculous, totally made-up reason.

1/2 Today in Minneapolis, ICE/FBI raided a taco restaurant, yes, you read that correctly, a taco restaurant, dressed in full battle gear—long guns, body armor, the whole damn militarized show. Do they think they’re in a war zone? This is about instilling terror, rooted in racism. It won’t work.

The original TT post read “we were diverted going to Dallas to Nashville on Southwest for “gas-fill-up” WTAF! TSA has screened & can stop boarding like any military state country Night Vision in Broad daylight? Opening bags with passengers on board? They aren’t trained agents.

This is Mertarvik, Alaska, population 300. It’s a new town. Its residents, the vast majority of whom are Yup’ik, began moving in around 2019. The move was by necessity: The nearby village where many residents previously lived, Newtok, is sinking, its riverbanks eroding. THREAD 🧵

Donald has spent the last week pardoning his friends who defrauded Medicare, union pensions, banks, and more. This is what “fraud and abuse” actually looks like. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

TACO DID THIS!

Yeah, Mr. Senator, YOUR job, which provides healthcare that WE pay for. One third of the jobs for the rest of us don't provide healthcare.

Thou shall not stop spending on the rich...

It wouldn’t be hard to protect Medicaid and funding to rural hospitals and still reduce our nation’s ballooning debt and deficit. The Rs would just have to make the wealthy and corporations pay slightly more in taxes. (PS Rs are never serious about the debt and deficit when they are in power).

WTF people?!!!! We live in an authoritarian state now? Yes, we f’ing do! #unmask #bluecrew #pinks #standup #speakout

NYT, Page One: “Within hours, he had an email from China, offering to move his lab to ‘any city, any university I want,’ he said, with a guarantee of funding for the next 20 years.” @nytimes.com

What the hell...Felons performing police duties. We can't get any lower. How disgraceful !

Bernie: "What that is all about is that if you're rich in America, you can make campaign contributions, you are entitled to massive tax breaks because you're superhuman beings. But if you're a poor working stiff, working at McDonald's, struggling to put food on the table, you're entitled to nothing"

Beautiful day in the park. Soaking up sun, splashing in the creek, skipping rocks and being an overall menace as usual. Wish we'd had a cucky sub along to carry our things so I could have held hands with hubby. Oh well, maybe next time 😌

any democrat not running on a policy of 'jailing elon musk and taking all of his stuff' should be shunned. you fucking cannot tell us for months that he is doing a coup and stealing data from the government and literally killing millions in africa and then be like 'well what if he's good again'

Beccera said he "stayed pretty quiet, neutral, because I feel you've got to give the new person a chance to settle in." This ROBERT F KENNEDY JR we're talking about here, who has been terrible for a long time.

Yes, big Money has brought us to where we are today. and Today our world is in at least one of the biggest messes. how are we going to get out of it, without big money ? (I am asking - I am not promoting) #theFuture #goingForward #society #seachange #theEarthNeedsHelp #ManNeedsHelp

The Secretary of Education doesn’t know American history. That’s not failure—it’s strategy. They erased the past so they can control the future. 📕 Erased exposes who’s behind it—and why it works. Read it before they wipe the rest out too: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

Some economists question accuracy of recent US inflation data due to BLS staffing shortages. Hiring freeze forced survey to cut back on # of businesses where it checks prices; govt statisticians had to use a less precise method for guessing price changes more extensively than they did in the past.

Ask Home insurers in Florida........💸💸💸

WATCH: “It's totally unconscionable,” says Sen. Bernie Sanders on the GOP bill that would kick 11 million Americans off health care. “And to do that in order to give massive tax breaks to people today on the top—who have never ever had it so good—is beyond cruel.”

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Wow. Threats to loose their jobs, to its own party members.

Cool @eaclipt.bsky.social talk by Elayne Ahem showing there are different depression trajectories over time in the general population and these depend on demographics, sleep and cognition

When research is done by AI instead of actual human scientists...

“We’re probably going to stop publishing in The Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA and those other journals because they’re all corrupt,” Kennedy said, claiming they’re controlled by the pharmaceutical industry. www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-jr...

The Most Dangerous Animal in the World was a 1963 exhibit at the Bronx Zoo in the Bronx, a borough of New York City. It featured a mirror and text describing the dangers humans pose to life on earth. In 1968 the exhibit was duplicated at Brookfield Zoo in Chicago.

Emotional intelligence will absolutely make you the black sheep or scapegoat of an abusive family, church, or peer group-- which is a sign that emotional intelligence & sensitivity are among your MOST potent recovery tools. If "they" consider it a weakness or flaw: look closer.
