not a data take but this is fucked up. cutting food benefits to poor moms, infants, and toddlers is pointlessly cruel. not a partisan issue, just straightforwardly fucked. the cruelty is the point. call your congressperson

Make no mistake: Illinois is leading the nation in strengthening women’s health care. With the passage of HB 3637, we are expanding the ways we shield our providers from punishment for delivering life-saving health care. We are not going back.

NEW: Gov Jared Polis (D) has vetoed a bill banning surprise billing by ambulance companies. The bill passed the Colorado legislature by *unanimous* votes in both chambers. #copolitics

Yes, Joni, we are all going to die. But it shouldn't be our SENATORS who are killing us.

I can’t believe the media covered up the fact that a clear mental incompetent was running the government while out of his mind on drugs, despite it being widely known in DC circles, to preserve their access to the White House. There should be huge recriminations for this.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

Yesterday, I saw Musk's biographer Walter Isaacson wheeled out for a TV interview under the chyron "Musk: Back to Business" and it really feels like the media is entirely happy to go along with a concerted PR effort to increase Musk's finances by downplaying what he did to your government.

Look at the take for the top 0.1% (those making above $4.3M/yr). Then look at the take for the rest of Americans. This bill is a heist.

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

The U.S. has officially accepted a luxury jetliner from Qatar as a gift, and slated it to become a new Air Force One. Experts say that overhaul could take years and cost hundreds of millions.

I hope legacy media covers the connection between last night's memecoin dinner and this morning's social media tariff threats. He's manipulating the stock market.

Threatening universities. Attacking judges. Bullying law firms. Clamping down on free speech. If it looks like it, talks like it, and acts like it, it is moving toward authoritarianism.
