🤢 Gross. My fave is when a health insurance company snail mails a letter home to advise you you’ve been approved for admission to the hospital, but to check first whether the hospital is in network, while you’re already in the hospital 🏥 Make that make sense.

It’s 2 am and we’re still marking up massive cuts to Medicaid. While their constituents are asleep, Republicans are trying to take away health care from 13.7 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. They want you to tune out. Don’t ⬇️ x.com/i/broadcasts...

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it. If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why? Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

This will have precisely zero to do with Jewish safety, just as the original travel ban had zero to do with Jewish safety. It will have everything to do with animosity towards Muslims, despite being enacted in the name of and in spite of the protests of Jews who asked for no such thing.

The Court just ruled Trump’s global tariffs were “ultra vires” and “contrary to law.” Translation? He made it all up. No authority. Just vibes and ego. This is what happens when you let a wannabe authoritarian play president.

Here's what I mean when I say that left-wing antisemitism annoys me but right-wing antisemitism scares me. On the left, it's mostly people falling down a hole due to concern about a real issue. On the right, fighting against the globalist conspiracy that hates nations and Christians is a core goal.

During the last Trump administration, when he put tariffs on steel & aluminum it affected my binder manufacturer, who passed the cost increases to me, & I had to pass them to my clients. Here we go again. But this time, I saw it coming & stocked up in December 2024. I miss sleepy & boring.

Emil Bove was also the key figure in dropping charges against Eric Adams in exchange for his political cooperation, causing seven professional prosecutors to resign rather than rubber stamp a dirty deal. Here's a @resist.bot to tell your senators to vote hell no.

Millions of people—kids, seniors, people with disabilities—stand to lose the care they depend on if these cuts go through. This isn’t abstract. This is life and death. And why? So billionaires can get more tax breaks Follow @taxwarroom.bsky.social for more. #FamiliesOverBillionaires

📢“[No individual or org.] is more responsible for our current state of affairs than Leonard Leo. A publicity shy, extreme right wing Catholic zealot, Leo spent more than 35 years & $600 million corrupting the US federal judiciary, in a Holy War crusade to create a Catholic Christofascist America.”

For the non-scientists amongst us, we need this in very simple, easy to digest terms. Is it fair to say they’re trying to erase proof of climate change in a way that will make it harder for those of us who live along the coasts to plan for the effects for climate change where we live & work?

Heard @deborahnarcher.bsky.social last segment of the @strictscrutiny.bsky.social podcast- wow. I will never look at any highway wall, overpass, or dividing road line the same again. I feel like I knew about modern effects but had only the outline of an historical background for how we got here.

Fresh reminder why Social Security isn't an investment account and shouldn't be: it's insurance for when an investment goes south, a promise that you have some minimum standard of living in retirement no matter what is happening in the market. www.marketwatch.com/livecoverage...

Firing all of the staff that provide heating and cooling assistance to low-income families is cruel and stupid. The Trump administration would rather give a tax cut to billionaires than help Americans afford their utility bills.
