Republicans in Congress want to cut health care for millions of people... to pay for more tax cuts for millionaires.

#NancyWasRight

This is exactly right. @djrothkopf.bsky.social explains that treating Trumps tariffs as economic policy misses the point. It’s extortion. Every company, every country will now have to ask him personally for a favor that only he can grant. www.thedailybeast.com/godfather-do...

Donald Trump now holds the record for the largest single point drop in a day on the Nasdaq after it lost 1050 points today. He beat his own record of 970 points during the pandemic. Bravo. 🙄

The Trump admin intends to terminate U.S. financial support for Gavi, the organization that has helped purchase critical vaccines for children in developing countries, and to significantly scale back support for efforts to combat malaria. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/h...

The Felon President is condemning ‘waste’ and firing workers – while cashing in by traveling to his own resorts and over-charging secret service to stay there. Read more here: bit.ly/4imHMET #DonTheCon

(HUFFPOST) — Trump’s insistence on playing golf at his Florida courses has now cost American taxpayers more than $18 million since he regained the presidency, setting him on a pace to exceed the $151.5 million he spent in his first term, according to a HuffPost analysis. #SaveMedicaid

U.S. could lose democracy status, says global watchdog Trump has escalated an authoritarian turn in last few days https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-democracy-report-1.7486317

@maddow.msnbc.com Little Rock AR tonight—only empty seats were for Tom Cotton, John Boozman, French Hill. Cotton and Boozman chose a $7,000 plate fundraiser instead. x.com/jayorsi/stat...

@jonesforar.bsky.social AR candidates need to run as independents. They need to run on a platform of ABUNDANCE. We are the richest nation in the world and could greatly decrease debt as well as fund benefits if wealth were shared. A more fair tax code; Rs are conning us with social scares.

@maddow.msnbc.com I’m already having withdrawals from your nightly show. Thank you for doing these first 100 days. We need you.

@joyannreid.bsky.social thank you for all you’ve done! I will miss your honesty and wit.

@jonesforar.bsky.social I’ve been writing Sens Cotton and Boozman, Congressman Westerman frequently, asking for town hall meetings, with no response. Is it possible to organize one, record it (maybe with media coverage), and ask our questions to send to them?

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

Trump handed massive tax cuts to the rich in 2017. Now he's planning even more cuts. How are Trump and MAGA Republicans planning to pay for them? By making it harder for millions of Americans to access Medicaid, food stamps, and other federal programs. Trickle up economics.

I’m pretty private about my faith, but I’ve decided to share. I’ve written these intentions for a daily rosary for our country that I’m starting, and I invite you to join if you’re so led. It can be said as an independent prayer if it’s more to your faith.

"Transparency is what builds trust," Musk noted in the Oval Office earlier this week. But, but: time.com/7221880/stat...

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

SCOOP: Kash Patel took $25,000 from a production company with ties to Russia propaganda activity to appear in an anti-FBI docuseries. He did not respond to questions about this. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

She called out Musk’s salute in a social media post…and then lost her job at CBS. www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

This is an excellent, in-depth article on what leaving the Paris Climate agreement means for the US by @borenbears.bsky.social One conclusion: "Several experts say the US will lose out on a trillion dollar plus renewable energy boom, leaving other countries like China to rule the green economy."

Dear members of the press, Can one of you, PLEASE just ONE: When Trump says we deleted all the evidence, please for the love of God, push back. The evidence is all here: www.govinfo.gov/collection/j...
