Taking credit for things done under Biden again I see.

i think it is bad that high level public officials do not respect the offices they hold or the public they are supposed to serve

Succinctly states where we are and what's happening. These three things, in addition to doing much else, are the sheet anchors of American wealth and power.

Am I crazy or did we just have a convo about how we can't fund cancer research?

Posted this afternoon. Masked ICE agents arresting immigrants at their court hearings in Dallas.

Trump cut nearly $3 billion in the first 100 days. Cancer is the #2 killer of people. Anyway, MAGA. www.axios.com/2025/05/19/n...

The WA State Nurses Assn will lead w/ courage & devotion to our patients & practice. @wsna.bsky.social is joining eight other Washington-based health care organizations in a lawsuit against the federal government. They’re demanding the restoration of removed content and an end to further deletions

He applied for asylum, and this is the hearing. If he wins, he would be back on track to regain his green card.

NOBODY WANTS APPLE BUILDING IPHONES HERE YOU IGNORANT FAT TODDLER. Good God you exhausting sloppy goon

At this point trumps tariff threats are just stock market manipulation. Nobody will prosecute him. Just fyi: break the law today you better hope statute of limitations runs out… you will be held accountable eventually

WASHINGTON (AP) — Harvard University sues the Trump administration over ban on enrolling foreign students.

The Trump administration claims to be “ending the weaponization of government," but behind Trump's Orwellian day one executive order is a blueprint for turning the DOJ into his own personal political weapon. We’ve seen it used against judges and now, it’s being aimed at a sitting member of Congress.

Imagine how massive the tax breaks for billionaires must be when cutting $700B from Medicaid, $500B from Medicare, and $300B in food assistance STILL leaves a $4T deficit.

NEW: Reagan appointed federal judge William Young takes a torch to Trump's anti-DEI crusade. "Does that mean our policy is homogeneity, inequity and exclusion?” More from @kyledcheney and me in West Wing Playbook, on newsstands now www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Trump, the same man who dined with Nick Fuentes, one of the leading white nationalist anti-semites in America, and Kanye, who sang"Heil Hitler," expects you to believe he really cares about Jews and anti-semitism. Yeah, ok...maybe he'll get consultation from Musk, who did 2 Sieg Heils...

You're seeing America kamikaze itself into a brick wall. It didn't have to be this way. But greed and racism, our two sins, will be our downfall. Too many people still with their hands in the sand.

I’m a red state rural Democrat. I’m not scared of the devil, much less Trump…

UPDATE: The Senate parliamentarian advised lawmakers that they couldn't use the Congressional Review Act to revoke California's right to set vehicle standards. But they did it anyway. Expect a legal fight.

Apparently threats, intimidation, and four hour polygraphs are not making Kristi and her lover Corey very popular at DHS. So we're hemorrhaging many more of our best, most qualified public servants. www.rawstory.com/noem-leakers...

Try asking the worm? I hear it’s better informed.

When opposition to “nationwide injunctions” becomes a rightwing article of faith then SCOTUS takes inappropriate vehicles to try and end it (birthright citizenship case) and Republican members of Congress write ham-fisted bills. Watch @joeneguse.bsky.social go to work on Rep. Jim Jordan.

House Republicans have finally released the complete version of their dreadful plan. And its confirmed our worst nightmares. This monstrous legislation demolishes health coverage and food assistance for millions. Heading to the Capitol for debate.

Been sayin www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Another report, this one out of Arizona, of people showing up for scheduled immigration court hearings and being detained by federal agents. They've abandoned any pretense of going after the criminal element first. Now everyone is fair game.

After #Springsteen criticized the administration, the president said he should “KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT.” Undeterred, Springsteen included his comments on a new release, which begins with his remarks that America “is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration."

House GOP leadership has apparently decided to give Texas $12 billion dollars, in a transparent plan to reimburse Greg Abbott for Operation Lone Star, the Texas border wall, and the migrant buses, as a way of winning over holdouts on reconciliation.

Horrifying that 2 Israeli embassy officials were just fatally shot outside the Capital Jewish Museum. Sending prayers & solidarity to the victims’ families, the wounded & everyone shaken by this appalling lethal violence.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

For all the shit talking people direct at Dems, they really are fighting this thing tooth and nail and they deserve a whole lot of credit

McGovern: Some people are wondering why are we debating this bill at 120AM which is prime time in Guam because they are ashamed of what they are bringing to this floor. They should be

Fine: Rome is burning McGovern: One of the previous Republican speakers got up and said Rome is burning but I hate to tell him but Republicans are in charge and Trump is your Caesar.

The GOP held a hearing on their unfinished thousand-page bill at 1:00 AM. Now they’re getting ready to hold the final vote on the largest destruction of health care in American history in the dead of night.

Young people are the hope and future of our democracy, but they can’t learn on empty stomachs. I’m voting NO on the GOP Tax Scheme which slashes food assistance and nutrition for 4 million American kids.

The GOP Tax Scheme is top-down class warfare by the richest people in the world against everyone else.

If the GOP Tax Scheme is so beautiful, then why are they voting on it in the wee hours of the morning? Maybe because it’s irredeemably ugly and cruel.

I know Marylanders who are alive today because of Medicaid. House Republicans are trying to pass legislation to take away poor people’s health insurance to give rich people more wealth insurance.

The GOP Tax Scheme represents the largest wealth transfer from the poor to the rich in American history.

Trump promised not to cut Medicare, but his billionaire tax heist adds so much to the deficit that it will likely trigger more than $500 million in Medicare cuts. The super-rich get richer while seniors struggle to pay for medicine—all thanks to the GOP. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

No one should have their voice or image used without their consent. At today’s Judiciary subcommittee hearing on AI deepfakes, I made clear why we need to pass the NO FAKES Act to protect people from having their voice and likeness replicated without their permission.

Just fyi… when the Democrats passed their healthcare bill in the middle of the night it sparked the tea party. GOP is toast for this… IF the Dems can get their crap together

“The stunning increase in wealth amounts to a gain of roughly $1 billion per day.” Roughly $1 billion. Per DAY. Billionaires don’t need the tax breaks that Republicans are scrambling to give them.

Trying to be graceful with the desire of some pundits to have a "Joe Rogan for the left" because I understand they're attempting to offer an approach, and yet, it's very difficult to be graceful when it's clear they understand neither Joe Rogan nor the left but are treated as though they do.
