Lifelong democrat. Truth and justice matter. Kindness, caring and consideration make the world a better place. This is only a bad chapter - not the whole book.

With the might and force of the federal government and Trump Admin. thrust against him, Miles Taylor fights back against Trump's executive order Watch =====>

"During a Senate hearing, Kennedy told Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester that Matthew Buzzelli is the CDC's acting director. Kennedy called Buzzelli a public health expert. Buzzelli's biography on the CDC website lists no public health experience..." www.axios.com/2025/06/05/c...

“Anyone”

Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation. It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop. Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.

This is so fucked up.

How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??

ICE crossed a line in LA

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?

BREAKING: Ukrainian President Zelensky says that the US has delivered 20,000 missiles to the Middle East that the United States had previously promised to ship to Ukraine.

We Out Number His Support. Don’t Be Intimidated By Their Threats Of Doom! 🇺🇸Unite!🇺🇸Rise!🇺🇸RESIST!🇺🇸 A Government For The People OF THE PEOPLE. THIS IS 👉OUR👈 COUNTRY! Let Our Freedom Ring Those Effing Nazi’s To Hell (and back -for prosecution)! We ARE Going To Sink Their Ship

This is fascism. Being punished for who you associate with.

Bill Braniff, a former DHS official who resigned in protest when DOGE decimated his team by wrongfully firing 8 members of his staff, says it was "gutting" to see such a valuable team dismantled. "We had something really special."

Taking food assistance away from kids, veterans, seniors and other Americans just trying to get by is despicable, and the effects will ripple throughout our economy. From farmers to local grocers to truck drivers - this cruel Republican proposal will cause unnecessary hardship across our country.

As usual, the cruelty is the point. Missouri has lived under the boot of a GOP supermajority for 22 years and they have consistently defunded schools. And now they are planning to close schools for the severely disabled.

Last year, Nike made $23 billion. Its founder is worth $35 billion. But Nike pays just dollars a day to the workers who make its products. Today I met Dinar, who sews 222 labels an hour onto Nike products. She is paid $202 a month. This is corporate greed at its worst.

Maybe the real waste, fraud, and abuse was the DOGE we made along the way.

If it was really about celebrating military families, we could put $30 million toward helping them offset the cost of their child care, food assistance and tuition…

But it isn't. Trump is throwing himself a $30 million birthday parade just to stroke his own ego.

"When you get named on a modern black list from the White House, it results in the systematic destruction of your life, professionally and personally....." Powerful interview from Miles Taylor with @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy www.cbsnews.com/news/ex-trum...

"We cannot build bananas in America" should be the slogan for this insanity.

It’s bad because of all the collateral damage (us) but also good because we have so little to enjoy in American politics

"They stood, diplomas in hand, having met every standard of physical endurance, academic excellence, and military discipline. But when the time came for the US Air Force Academy’s class of 2025 to commission as second lieutenants, 3 cadets were quietly held back..." www.advocate.com/news/transge...

Trump once attacked crypto as a danger. Now he’s made billions from it. His meme coin allows any foreign state, King, pardon seeker or criminal org to secretly put money directly in his pocket. And Trump’s SEC mysteriously dropped 13 investigations against crypto fraudsters.

Now that is fucking funny! Ahhh you MAGA twats. Enjoy your food poisoning. You deserve it.

🚨CBO: House GOP budget bill to add $2.4 trillion to the deficit over 10 years. 10.9 million people to lose health insurance by 2034.

Yeah. We know. 🤡 @barrons.com www.barrons.com/articles/tru...

PAGING RFK Jr— “The assumption that children and teens recover completely from COVID has been shattered by mounting evidence that their developing respiratory systems are uniquely vulnerable to long-term damage.” rollingout.com/2025/06/03/l...

This is outrageous. A federal worker at our DC town hall talks about how employees are being asked to write letters stating their support for Trump. Our loyalty is to country not any particular president. As the woman said, “what the literal fuck.” open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

If Musk & his pals are so concerned about increasing the national debt in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, why don’t they cut the $664 billion in tax breaks for the 1%; the $420 billion in tax breaks for large profitable corporations; & the $150 billion in increased military spending?

Condoleezza Rice was on Fox & Friends this morning making the case against Trump's attacks on universities and scientific research

Simply disgraceful: Navy mulls new name for USNS Harvey Milk and ships named for civil rights leaders (including Thurgood Marshall and Harriet Tubman) www.cbsnews.com/news/navy-ne...

Are we great yet?

wt actual F. looks like a commando raid during the occupation of Iraq

MAGA celebrates the breaking up of families under Trump

US citizen apologises to migrant abducted by ICE. "I'm sorry Trump's an asshole and I'm sorry they voted for this fucking asshole." He proceeds to ask ICE "when people start fighting back then what are you going to do? are you going shoot every American?" you can hear a "yeah" in the background.

Excellent question. The answer, sadly, is that Trump doesn’t give a damn about what’s best for America.

Trump plans to eliminate federal protections that ban drilling and mining in millions of acres of pristine Alaskan wilderness www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Correct. Spending $45 million on a birthday party for the President, while the administration says we can’t afford Medicaid, shows just how bankrupt their priorities really are.

"Reducing the operating budget by $900 million, as the Trump administration wants to do, would require closing 350 of the 433 parks, monuments, historic sites and other locations overseen by the Park Service..." (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/o...
