We cannot force a corpse to donate organs, but we can force a dead woman to be an incubator against her family’s wishes. The precedent this is setting is terrifying.

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Today, we wasted time voting on renaming the Gulf of Mexico—a name it’s had for almost 500 YEARS. We’ve got folks losing healthcare, schools underfunded, and rights under attack. We’ve got real issues. Prioritize THAT.

Funny how it’s a “woke Biden initiative” now yet Noem, Rubio, and even the Joint Chiefs Chair were supporters of WSP in 2017. WPS protects women and bolsters their participation within peace and society.

MAGAs are tracking autism, menstrual cycles, criticism of Trump, criticism of Israel, Trans people, & anyone who even dares whisper DEI—but NOT vaccination rates, measles, COVID, firearms, firearm deaths, climate change, or food regulations. This is an unholy recipe for fascism & national disaster.

Schools have processes when someone like this comes to the attention of staff: behavioral threat assessment may have identified this man as dangerous when he was kicked out of the club & may have lead to intervention. Would love to know if FSU/Florida has BTAM regs—especially after Stoneman Douglas

“Trump ran for another term not because he had any clue how to transform America for the 21st century. He ran in order to stay out of jail and to get revenge on those who, with real evidence, had tried to hold him accountable to the law,” our columnist Thomas Friedman writes.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

A graphic video shows the moment that Israeli troops fired on aid workers in clearly marked vehicles in Gaza, killing 15 people. The footage contradicts Israel’s version of events in an episode that has drawn international scrutiny. Read witness accounts: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/w...

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Oh, so let me get this straight: deciding not to buy a car now qualifies as “treason”, but beating cops with flagpoles, smearing shit on the walls of the Capitol, and trying to overthrow an election is just good old-fashioned “peaceful protest”? Give me a fucking break.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

In 2021, McConnell successfully filibustered a Democratic CR ahead of a government shutdown and forced them to accept a clean one instead. What happened this week - a total cave on a totally partisan long-term funding bill - hasn’t happened in the 20 years I’ve covered Congress.

There’s nothing efficient about shutting down U.S. National Parks when they collectively bring in over $55B a year yet cost over $3.5B a year to upkeep. This is the kind of stupid bullshit what you do when you deliberately want to crash the economy.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

Unfortunately this is not true. For example when Andrew Jackson was carrying out his genocide / ethnic cleansing against the Cherokee he ignored Worcester v. Georgia and proceeded with forcing them on a the death march known as the "Trail of Tears." America was never great. #FreeTheBear 🏳️‍🌈

Donald Trump is selling out our seniors to Elon Musk. He is handing over control to sensitive Social Security information to an UNELECTED billionaire. Is Trump too weak to tell Musk no? Is he using Musk to cut Social Security so he doesn't have to take the blame? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...
