🚨NEW AD: As Republicans plow full-steam ahead this week to pass their Medicaid-slashing Billionaire Tax Scam, they'll have to answer to families like Amy’s: “Look me in the eye and tell me that a billionaire’s yacht is more important than my health care.”

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid. Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt. Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.

This is obviously animated by cruelty, yes, but the fact that DoD already has thousands of out trans members serving should have been testament enough that trans people can serve in uniform just fine. SCOTUS is just doing a culture war for Trump here.

What's happening with these grants is much more complicated and mostly unknown. None of the NIH have been officially cancelled. The NIH was just ordered to stop paying. They got the Unis to enforce silence on their own campuses because they thought they were "negotiating" and cld get the funds back.

Just one example of how these moronic tariffs are going to destroy whole industries. They will not recover here. When a creative company collapses, you can almost never recreate that specific blend of art. My heart is breaking for yet another creative industry.

It was entirely clear this is what they were doing. They say it's about immigrants but nothing would stop them from using this on citizens. It's a clear violation of the privacy act. They're combining databases from DHS, HHS, SSA, and IRS to surveil everyone. www.wired.com/story/doge-c...

Context: The Trump administration is trying to use a procedural issue (the scope of the injunctions) to put the policy into effect across 99% of the country. It’s not formally asking the Court to uphold the executive order, but the relief it’s seeking would produce the same practical result.
