In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive. Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it. Whoops. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

It’s a horrible thing to watch your husband of 30 years deteriorate to glioblastoma. From attacks on SSDI to ACA to research to vaccinations, this administration has turned a gut-wrenchingly difficult time in my life to something even worse, and I have privilege that many don’t. Such cruelty.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

I saw this story breaking about Mike Waltz and noticed something weird about his phone in that he isn’t actually using “signal” as in the secure messaging app but is using something MUCH worse that I haven’t seen reported on yet. Quick thread but it’s an Israeli intel guy behind it

Stephen Miller: "Children will be taught to love America. Children will be taught to be patriots. Children will be taught civic values for schools that want federal taxpayer funding ... we're gonna make sure these funds are not being used to promote communist ideology."

1. Today, the Trump administration's HHS Dept., under RFK Jr., released a review of transgender healthcare. It has no authors. It pushes pseudoscience and conversion therapy. It does not follow a scientific process. My fact check of the Trump HHS review. Subscribe to support my journalism.

(AXIOS) - The Senate on Wednesday killed a resolution that would have effectively reversed President Trump's 10% tariffs on all imported goods, with just three Republicans joining with Democrats in support of the measure. @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/04/30/s...

Look at the expressions. Everybody gets kind of uncomfortable when Smith asks Trump about the attack on Harvard and Trump starts going off about riots in Harlem and how how the Blacks love him.

It was never about saving money—or rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse. Musk bought himself a presidency, and in exchange, Trump handed him the keys to our government so he could tear down anything in his way, siphon off our data w/his hackers, and line his pockets w/more fat government contracts.

1. In a landmark ruling, a federal judge has blocked the passport ban for transgender Americans... government ban likely violates equal protection, and is made with animus. Though the ruling only applies to plaintiffs, it is expected expand in coming weeks. Subscribe to support my journalism.

The SAVE Act is a poll tax. Over 69 million women would have to get new IDs to vote under the SAVE Act—all of which, except military IDs, cost money. As @mcclellan.house.gov explained, whether it’s $1,000 or 1￠, no one should have to pay to vote.

The president just massively increased taxes on workers by fiat and is gutting the economy at a record pace. But at least he and the GOP are moving full scale ahead on destroying Medicaid and giving huge tax cuts to the rich.

Wow. Just wow. How Trump set the tariff rates. This is blithering, staggering, mind-boggling, jaw-cracking, gums-bleeding stupidity.

Reminder: Republicans in Congress could repeal all these tariffs tomorrow and take back their full authority over tariffs. Members of Congress who refuse to do so support this huge tax increase.
