Republicans are cutting Medicaid and SNAP to give a tax cut to the man who rented out an entire city for his $56 million wedding.

It’s a big day today for global health as the Gavi vaccine alliance that has helped inoculate more than 1bn children seeks $9bn in the face of steep government international aid cuts. Here’s our free to read story on Bill Gates warning how philanthropy won’t fill the gap. www.ft.com/content/40df...

This is a sign of serious mental illness. No sane person would post this. It’s not Alzheimer’s. It’s manic, impulsive, egotistical, cruel, and shows a lack of empathy and insight to a degree that it would be labeled “disordered”

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Why should we believe these men are actually ICE agents and not J6 criminals, thugs, or human traffickers? I want to hear directly from immigrants and citizens who were taken by people like this, hauled off in unmarked cars by masked men with no ID…

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

If you live in the US, you are in greater jeopardy today than you were 6 months ago. So is your family. So are your friends & neighbors. Virtually all the important parts of the U.S. gov't created to protect us are being shut down, gutted, or marginalized. My latest. newrepublic.com/article/1968...

they don’t have the votes *yet*, at least, call your senators.

The “Appeal to Heaven” flag, a popular symbol for Christian nationalists that was waved by January 6 rioters, was raised over the Small Business Administration headquarters last week. www.wired.com/story/far-ri...

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

A powerful message to opposition leaders, dissidents, cooperators, operatives and allies in Iran, Russia, and around the globe. After you are done risking your life to help us, we will sell you out and screw you over. Because the current govt will use you and discard you.

Las Vegas police immediately arrest two livestreamers when one of them insults an officer after an anti-ICE protest ("honor your oath, bitch"). "You need to learn there's rules: don't run your mouth at me."

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

It is a disgrace that the Department of Defense continues to post partisan political messages on social media and a disgrace that the DHS Secretary is making political statements about elections from the Oval Office. They piss on this country’s traditions daily. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Newsom responds to Homan statement on possibly arresting him: He's a tough guy. Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me. Lay your hands off four year old girls that are trying to get educated. Come and arrest me. Let’s just get it over with tough guy. I don’t give a damn

Ordinary people on both sides of the aisle want the Epstein Files released in their entirety. Elites on both sides of the aisle are praying they never get released.

Just FYI, this is what She Who Should Be President posted in her stories today.

All of the nominally progressive celebrities in NYC could join in & put their fame to good use.

This is the most important story of the day. A Tulsi aide ordered a senior analyst to redo an assessment of the relationship between Venezuela’s government and a gang after intelligence findings undercut the WH justification for deporting migrants. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/u...

Trump is literally taking credit for things that were announced when Biden was still in office.

Lmao. The new GOP position is that as long as the crime is blatant and in the open, it’s fine. Absolute clown party.

Fucking ignorant lunatic

For those of us in America......that actually READ some of the books they want destroyed......

Can we just fix the airports and work on planes crashing?

Happy Friday!

NEW: Facing a significant increase in the number of SpaceX launches, British officials detailed their concerns about the safety of Turks and Caicos and other Caribbean territories after debris from an earlier failed launch littered beaches and roads. By @heathervogell.bsky.social

Please do not confuse the legal requirements for the crime of bribery with the concept of corruption.

Phrases that should have been found: —“illegal and unconstitutional conduct” —“impeachable offense” —“lawless president unchecked by weak Congress”

On this Holy Weekend, i need to confess the sin of hating Donald Trump and his minions with every fiber in my being.
