Harvard's Sidechat. Who agrees?

"The U.S. has many problems. No one seriously thinks that Harvard’s certification to participate in the Student and Exchange Visitor Program is one of them. Are [we] suffering from our institutions' ability to attract and enroll students from abroad? No." www.thebulwark.com/p/a-permanen...

It may seem as though the worst excesses of DOGE have passed. The reality is, the whole government is DOGE now. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

But don’t let facts get in the way.

REPORTER: On the president's dinner tonight, will the White House commit to making a list of the attendees public so people can see who's paying for that kind of access to the president? LEAVITT: The president is attending it in his personal time

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

Read @nickkristof.bsky.social “Wherever there is authoritarianism, there is corruption.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/o...

Boyle: We just verified with the congressional budget office and of 13.7 million Americans who will lose their health care because of their bill, exactly zero are undocumented immigrants

As House Republicans pass a budget bill that takes from the poor to finance tax cuts predominantly for the rich, Trump is hosting a dinner for investors in his crypto business who spent a total of $394 million to gain access to him. It's clear who they really serve.

No one should have to choose between putting food on the table and affording their medication.   I reintroduced the SMART Prices Act with @welch.senate.gov and 25 of our colleagues to expand Medicare’s power to negotiate with drug companies for lower prices, & save taxpayers money.

Melania could have hired a human being to read her memoir audiobook if she didn’t want to take the time to do it herself for the people paying for it. But no, instead of hiring an American and supporting people in that industry, she is using AI to save a few bucks.

He’s not gonna like this.

Crockett: I would like to enter the Supreme Court decision— I don’t even like this Supreme Court. I would like to enter this into the record for all those that don’t understand what the constitution says.. It’s been reaffirmed by Trump’s Supreme Court..

Having lived in Florida for over 20 years and now living in fricking Tornado Alley, this is a bad, bad, terrible thing

They keep doubling down on this and the cult doubles down with them.

'Unnecessary chaos started by ICE’: Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman who was with Rep. McIver during clash joins @anacabrera.bsky.social to speak out www.msnbc.com/ana-cabrera-...

The House chamber *erupted* in laughter as Marjorie Taylor Greene — yes, *that* Marjorie — had the audacity to demand "decorum."

Today, Senate Dems held a press conference to outline their priorities and amendments to HB 96, the state budget. The House's budget proposal is one of broken promises - to our public schools, local governments, libraries, and the many Ohioans struggling to pay property taxes.

To those people I say HA-HA! Now you will be both, zero sympathy from me muthafuxka.

Trump: "Elon is from South Africa. I don't want to get Elon involved. That's all I have to do -- get him in another thing. This is what Elon wanted."

Unbelievably disappointed in these Dems and in particular @alsobrooks.senate.gov who is my senator. If ur a constituent of any of these, call them and let them know what you think. They are supporting corruption. This is not ok!

The U.S. has now accepted a luxury jet as a gift from Qatar, which the Air Force has been asked to upgrade so it can be used as a new Air Force One for President Trump, a Defense Department spokesman confirmed Wednesday.

Kentucky Public Radio’s @justinhicks.lpm.org has been reporting on the tornadoes from London, Kentucky this week. Here he discusses what he saw and what we know about the disaster so far.

Representative Jasmine Crockett blows the GOP Newark narrative up! Facts matter.

The CBO Finds Don’s Big Beautiful Bill Cuts $500 Billion from Medicare As such, the bill most likely cannot pass in the Senate But GOP House members will be on record voting for the most severe cut to Medicare in US history…for a bill that probably has no future—like the GOP Reps who vote for it

Commentary: "The planet and the people are in desperate need of moral healing, and there are promising signs that Pope Leo XIV just may be the voice of clarity that we need."
