AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

@repmcgovern.bsky.social brought fire.

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is Project 2025 in legislative form. Here’s how it quietly turns a far-right wishlist into federal law: - Sec. 10008 - Expands work requirements for SNAP - Project 2025: Pushes “moral reform” to make low-income people work more for food assistance.

Fact checking alone isn't enough when these people speak Fact-twist-checking is the new gold standard. Sheesh.

I don't want this to get lost: after RFK Jr. finished with his tantrum, he ADMITTED he is blocking BILLIONS in federal child care funding. That needs to change IMMEDIATELY.

The very definition of evil is incarcerating for life in one of the worst hellholes on Earth men who did everything right. But it’s beyond evil—beyond demonic—to then not try to do anything to save the men you consigned to Hell, *and* to in fact libel and slander them daily when they cannot reply.

Pushback works

Rightfully, the cuts to Medicaid (over 10M people will lose their health care) and the tax cuts for the rich have been the story of the disastrous Republican budget bill. But I read the whole thing. And there are some hidden rats in there you need to know about. 1/ A quick🧵

pure wickedness

NEW: reports today from @l-toczylowski.bsky.social and others that ICE has begun efforts to dismiss cases pending in immigration court for less than two years — so that they can then immediately arrest the same people and put them through “expedited removal,” skipping the court process entirely.

Do you think #Covid vaccines should be available to all? Then act now! We have three days to get comments in. Directions here: peoplescdc.substack.com/p/vaccine-ac...

Here is a story where #SecCookieMonster defends $5 billion in cuts to the Department of Interior. The political masochism is overwhelming. He seems to take pleasure in fighting to harm his own workforce. How can he continue to visit parks, refuges, and DOI offices while tearing us apart?

Birb. A good birb. A good story.

I wrote my comment! Did you?

nooooooooooooooooooo

Trump accepting a jet from a foreign country without consent from Congress, isnt a “gray area”, it’s just straight up illegal and violates Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the US Constitution. The only “gray area” is if or not Congress has the balls to do anything about it.

😳

Gorgeous art for the evening.

Artist Courtney Mattison creates large scale ceramic sculptural works inspired by the fragile beauty of coral reefs to raise awareness of the blue planet, urging protection of our oceans #womensart

“Awareness of what is, and fidelity to seeing what is with curiosity’s questioning and accuracy, are at the heart of both poetry and science. Poets and research scientists are equally dedicated to a primary observation. 1/2

RFK seems to have lied to Congress a lot

So that wrongly-deported guy the Supreme Court ordered returned to the US, he still hasn't been?

🔥🔥🔥🔥

ALSOBROOKS: Can you name which office the Safe to Sleep campaign operates out of? RFK Jr: Which campaign? ALSOBROOKS: The one the senator asked you about just two minutes ago RFK Jr: It's ACF ALSOBROOKS: No, actually it's Health and Human Services

“The ... text ... would give the Trump administration the power to unilaterally terminate the tax-exempt status of disfavored nonprofits, on the grounds that those nonprofits are “terrorist-supporting organizations” that have provided “material support or resources” to terrorist groups.”

After Trump fired Carla Hayden, the librarian of Congress, and named his former personal lawyer to take over - staff at the library of Congress weren't having it and refused access to affiliates of Trump's pick: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/u...

We strongly advise the public not to do this, it’s unsafe. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted photos of himself and his grandkids swimming in Rock Creek, a Washington waterway so contaminated with sewage runoff that swimming has been banned citywide for over 50 years.

On a tough day in Congress, loving this point of light! Messing up farmers is terrible for everyone, and going to court can still unlock solutions. Grateful to our courageous clients.

For everyone who was like “Google search is getting worse,” we were absolutely right.

Everything Ends Martha Silano but so what. In the sultry nights of August, I'll unravel - wanna join me? We can pant ourselves pantless, share a double brushfire on the raucous. Together we can close the book on the Uncertainty Principle, 1/

Needed this this evening.

A 25-year-old DOGE bro oversaw the termination of lawyers at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau last month, just days after they warned him certain stocks he owned were prohibited by employees.

On a funnier note , this English guy asked in a fight between 100 Americans and 100 Brits who would win (no weapons) and every single American response and 30% of the English ones I've seen say Americans, "because we're deeply unwell."

A reminder: Both sheriffs and local police have the right to refuse ICE detainers. These requests are voluntary and not legally enforceable under federal law. Across the country, many sheriffs and police departments choose not to cooperate and that choice is fully within their legal rights.

When stories about trans experiences are being pulled from bookshelves, it is more vital than ever to support stories centering trans youth. Here's one way to do that! www.gofundme.com/f/fund-the-f...

a little joy

This is why ICE is not allowed in courtrooms! "A Kennewick food truck owner [and US citizen] is feeling “lost” after her [immigrant] husband was detained during a routine interview about a pending immigration application this week in Yakima." www.tri-cityherald.com/news/politic...
