Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Republicans passed a package that guts $9.4 BILLION in critical funding. They’re coming for global health, humanitarian aid, national security—& even PBS & NPR. Let me be real clear: What they’re cutting saves lives, keeps the world stable, and tells the truth.

There is no universe in which it is acceptable for a Secretary of DHS to say anything like this. Kristi Noem must resign immediately. Or be impeached.

The Trump Administration is trying to forge a personalist authoritarian regime and honestly the conditions for success are there. However, they're way out over their skis at the moment. Their pure recklessness is making their path to success way harder 1/x

For all their sanctimonious talk about “regular order,” House Republicans have been meeting overnight to fast track Trump’s budget — a bill still being negotiated and which hasn’t been drafted. It’s simply unprecedented to force a vote today on a plan no one has seen.

Markets are tanking and the bond market is in panic mode over the reckless GOP budget: “We don't see any contraction in the deficit over the foreseeable future. If this dynamic is unchecked, it is inevitable that the US has a spike in rates volatility.”

To recap: House Republicans passed a budget in the dead of night by a single vote that will strip health care from millions of Americans, deliver a massive wealth transfer to the richest Americans, and exploded the deficit.

Reporters who ran with ‘Trump vows to protect Medicaid’ or ‘Trump considers taxing the rich’ in the past few weeks should seriously reconsider whether their job is journalism or stenography.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

It's weird to me that so many of my neighbors voted to take away their own healthcare to give me a tax cut. They need their health care. I don't need a tax cut. Neither does anyone who makes more than me, either.

I’m so tired of the incompetent tomfuckery. He caved. He created the problem and now they’re trying to sell this like it’s a win—because ports were EMPTY. Lowering tariffs for 90 days doesn’t create economic stability—it does prove how stupid he is. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/b...

Donald Trump is a master at floating trial balloons to see which way the winds are blowing before making policy. This is what you get when your President has no convictions other than those by a court.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but 30% is still a high tariff…and it’s still going to drive prices up. But sure, businesses can “plan” for 90 days until the next erratic change. Awesome.
