If your industry can't survive without exploiting people, then you're in the wrong industry.

Idiocracy undersold it

When do we start all the winning? www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

WATCH: @repmoskowitz.bsky.social calls out the astounding nearly $1 BILLION (!!) for ICE employees in bonuses alone in the Republican budget. Masked anti-constitutional vigilantism pays well these days. 🇺🇸

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

Elon Musk was high on Ketamine, carried daily ‘box of pills’ as he cozied up to Trump, report alleges

The @rollingstone.com hed is a little more direct than the @nytimes.com. 🤡 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump has picked 2022 law school grad Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel. As of 9 days ago, Ingrassia’s Instagram included a pinned photo of himself w/ self-professed “misogynist” Andrew Tate (such “physical prowess”) who has since been charged w/ rape & trafficking in the UK. 1/

Soooo wrong!

Sickening!!!! They went ape shit about how Dems are blowing up the deficit yet they put an atomic bomb to it!?

Exclusive: Trump Shared Racist, Flat-Earth Facebook Account With South African President Trump handed President Ramaphosa a Facebook post from a fringe account that labelled his administration the “White Supremacy House" www.meidasplus.com/p/exclusive-...

BREAKING: Sweeping ProPublica report reveals over a dozen Trump officials conveniently sold off their shares just days before their president crippled the stock market with his sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs. https://trib.al/kxqc6ZJ

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

Oh.

BREAKING: The GOP-led House Budget Committee just voted to reject Trump's big budget bill — an embarrassing setback for Republicans. Five conservative hardliners joined all Democrats in voting against the bill.

NEW: ICEBlock is like Waze but for reporting ICE. Check it out here: slate.com/technology/2...

Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N’ Roll Steakhouse closes to avoid ICE raids

this would be the kind of scandal that demands resignation if these people had any commitment to public service!

Today’s the day. Republicans just dropped their bill to gut your health care, and they’re trying to pass it tonight while you sleep. I’ll be in committee late, fighting to protect Medicaid. 🔔 Follow along here & on Instagram/Facebook Stories. Remember to turn on post notifs. Let’s give them hell.

Republican Tommy Tuberville has blocked a Democratic resolution that would have condemned the proposed gift of a luxury jet from Qatar to Trump.

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

Current problems mostly related to staff shortages. Some balloons aren’t getting launched. Some forecast offices can’t operate 24 hrs/day. But, the real nightmare isn’t inaccurate weather forecasts. It’s going to be: “impossible nowcasts”. What’s a “nowcast”( glad you asked, read next thread…🧵

So is American major media just going to pretend that Donald Trump and his venal band of brigands didn't just spend the last five years of this space-time continuum daily accusing Joe Biden of taking bribes from a foreign country—something Trump just PUBLICLY did to the tune of $400 MILLION DOLLARS?

🚨 Urgent - Medicaid Thread 🚨 House Republicans have introduced a proposal to cut $880 billion from Medicaid, risking the healthcare of 8.6 million Americans. These cuts are part of a broader plan to fund $4.5 trillion in tax breaks benefiting the wealthy. 1/ fortune.com/article/hous...

BREAKING: The Episcopal Church has announced it will end its decades-old partnership with the government to resettle refugees, citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa who have been classified as refugees by the Trump admin. religionnews.com/2025/05/12/e...

Wow At least 4 conferences are moving from the US to Canada, because people are anxious about traveling to the States...

The fact that the attorney general's last job before this one was lobbying for the Qataris is a little on the nose.

Happy tariff capitulation day to all who celebrate.

Threatening to suspend habeas corpus doesn’t just target immigrants. It targets the very system that protects everyone.

GIFT article. Silicosis and lung cancer is making a comeback because the Trump administration cut all the people who monitor, regulate, and set standards for exposure. All to promote mining and proifits. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

How best to describe a POTUS-endorsed investment opportunity where 58 people make money while 764,000 get taken to the cleaners? www.salon.com/2025/05/07/7...

Not only are they ignoring climate change—they’re trying to cover up the cost. Shutting down NOAA’s disaster tracking so we can’t see the BILLIONS it’s costing us? This ain’t solving the crisis—it’s hiding it.

Word is Attorney General Pam Bondi is seeking records and testimony from journalists. Please be mindful of how you communicate use secure formats, follow established guidance, and above all, protect your identity at all costs.

I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark. I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.

Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.

I liked being able to ignore the President for days at a time. I liked having a White House in the hands of people who social media posts sounded intelligent and decent.

That’s the flag raising on Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima. It happened in February 1945. It has nothing to do with victory in Europe.

MERKLEY: Are you gonna launch an investigation of the reported violation of the due process of several hundred people? P: It is not for me to call the balls & strikes M: You haven't read the Constitution? It says 'all persons'...it concerns me you're not familiar w/the core concept of due process

Ah, but of course. #OligarchEra 🤡 @washingtonpost.com @jeffstein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

There it is…

It’s official: Republicans want to kick millions of Americans off their health insurance to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. The nonpartisan scorekeepers at CBO just confirmed that the GOP’s plans would boot millions of people from Medicaid.

We should understand this for what it is: an effort to build public consent for the president to ignore the Supreme Court. abcnews.go.com/Politics/jus...
