The GOP wants people up to age 64 to work for food stamps and Medicaid - CBS News.

California lawmakers are trying to pass the “No Secret Police Act” which, if introduced, would ban police from covering their faces. Do you think officers should be allowed to hide their identities from the public? Full video on Substack (free for anyone to watch).

Exclusive: Congressman Tim Moore failed to properly disclose hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of personal stock purchases made around Trump's 'Liberation Day' in a potential STOCK Act violation - FORTUNE. And the bleached blonde troll from GA? Where’s the reporting about her? I’ll wait…

Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody. We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza. Together we are standing up for those with no voice.

An active duty service member has been sent to a mental health facility against his will after speaking out about ICE’s legal and humanitarian abuses. TikTokers took action, including writing @governor.ca.gov /

I believe it to be true. How about you?

I hope the good people of Utah fire him in 2028 - though he should resign now.

Sen Mike Lee & the silence from Republicans made it clear: decency is in the rearview mirror. After he mocked a political assassination, Ed Shelleby, a senior staffer to Sen Tina Smith, wrote to Lee’s top staffers. @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com read it on-air, and honestly everyone should hear it.

No lie detected.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Good question.

He keeps saying this first bit It keeps being a lie

Yeppers.

LAPD shoves an unhoused woman to the ground so hard her skull cracks open and she’s knocked unconscious. They then carry her to the curb, prop her up and abandon her. Witnesses took her to the ER.

A Canadian Indigenous leader who greeted world heads of state arriving for the Group of Seven summit says he was “filled with rage” and considered leaving before Donald Trump arrived — saying the U.S. president has “caused much pain and suffering in the world.”

I’m sure your media doesn’t cover things like this anymore. Kyiv is under a heavy drone attack. Fires have been reported in several districts of the city. We’re fine (as one can be under the current circumstances)

Finally!

Tina Smith confronted her Senate colleague Mike Lee over his social media post that blamed the Minnesota lawmaker shootings on “Marxists.”

Love. This!

🚨The latest reporting on DeSantis's Hope Florida scandal unraveling. Raises SERIOUS transparency & ethics concerns.

The Senate Majority leader is lying

I’ve been in academic medicine for 45 years. This is the first time I’m seeing a perfect storm, as proposed federal funding cuts threaten our ability to provide patient care, train the next generation of doctors, and conduct life-saving research. More from my conversation with @cnn.com last week.

Boelter is apparently facing federal charges. Which opens to door to a presidential pardon if convicted (if not before). There should be a state prosecution here to make sure justice actually gets served (and so evidence re motive is not selectively presented to conform to predetermined narratives)

RFK Jr. claimed that one of the people he appointed to ACIP, Michael Ross, is a professor at George Washington and at VCU. He hasn’t taught at either for at least 4 years. RFK Jr. is a liar who generates and amplifies disinformation that he feeds to the people of the U.S.

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015. THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Police shot stun grenades and rubber bullets, then turned to tear gas, in Los Angeles on Saturday. The gathering there was separate from the local “No Kings” event.

Vaccines save lives!

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

They don’t believe in any gods and can’t read the Bible. How can they possibly do the morally correct thing?

No lies told.

"Bluesky is dead." Meanwhile, on Bluesky...

I think it’s awesome. Awesome that our men and women in the US Army made lemonade out of orange-colored shite-lemons and made his floparade the floppiest flop of all time. Well-done you soldiers who suddenly couldn’t march in formation for two consecutive seconds…well-done indeed!

When I die I’d like the @nytimes.com editorial board to lower me into my grave so I can be let down one last time.

Opinion | Why are the media ignoring growing resistance to Trump? - The Guardian. That’s easy: ownership of mass media outlets are devotees of Felonious 47 and equally hateful. They’ve culled actual journalists from their ranks and leaving only shills in their wake.
