What's in the Trump/GOP big, beautiful bill? -Tax cuts skewed to the rich -Medicaid & SNAP cuts -Ends IRS Direct File -New powers for Trump over the courts -Blocks state/local regulation against AI, including rent-gouging software like RealPage It's a big, ugly nightmare.

Aww, poor Foni Joni. Keep going to those town halls, everyone. Keep leaving messages for them. Keep up the pressure! www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

"there is no word in any language that captures the level of obliviousness..." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Tim Walz takes a shot at Susan Collins: "She's always 'deeply concerned' about things. Well do something then, about being 'deeply concerned.'"

Their answer to everything is we’re handing everything over to the states. They know the reason the federal government got involved in health care, education, disaster relief, etc. is because the states couldn’t handle those things right? Especially the red states.

Interesting that the administration that claims to dislike it when refugees seek residency *illegally* is arresting refugees in *courts* when the seek immigration legally. MAGAs are just xenophobic white supremacist bigots.

The entire point.

Trump hands Dept of Interior to Russia-linked oil exec: "... given sweeping powers to overhaul the department that manages public lands "...hasn’t divested his investments or filed an ethics commitment to break ties with companies that pose a conflict of interest" apnews.com/article/hass...

1) The government isn't a business and shouldn't be run like one. That should be central to Liberalism. I want to elaborate on this point, because there are good reasons. Credit @cwebbonline.com, who inspired these thoughts, but I don't want to hijack his post on the subject. Please follow him.

Elect a criminal, expect a mafia state.

It's hilarious that trump calls everybody these juvenile insults, but let somebody call him a "chicken" and he loses his fucking mind. #Trump

MAGA is even using the same terminology as the worst fascist parties of Europe. Their goal is to expel every immigrant from the USA, even those who currently hold citizenship. Watch for the term "remigration." www.huffpost.com/entry/state-...

You have your assignment. 😉

There aren't as many undocumented in the US as MAGA claims. Few of them are actually criminals. Most ICE detentions are people living ordinary lives. MAGA is getting caught lying. The MAGA narrative is failing...and it's really pissing them off. www.salon.com/2025/05/29/s...

The spurs don't fall far from the bones.

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

Couldn’t help but notice that neither the Times or Post have a story up about Trump saying he’s not sorry that Joe Biden has cancer. I guess that’s just Trump being Trump ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Jake Tapper's TV show ratings are tanking and his book isn't selling, proving that peddling irrelevant BS during a time of an actual national crisis isn't a winning formula.

Doesn't matter how many vulnerable people die as long as they get their tax cuts. More money for them, yay!

It makes me feel sick knowing so many Americans believe him

GOP legislatures in Alaska, Nebraska, and Missouri are trying overturn voter-approved referenda requiring paid sick leave. And in 9 other red states, Republican lawmakers are trying to restrict citizen-led ballot measures altogether. The GOP can't stand the will of the people.

Is it just the ones who are inside someone’s womb? Asking for a friend. FFS.

Rubio announces the US will "aggressively revoke" the visas of Chinese students. More racism from the Trump Administration because Trump is embarrassed China won't bend the knee on his tariffs so he's punishing Chinese students. youtu.be/T2qKdYtlCfc?...

The Presidents Budget Request for NASA is out. It’s a bloodbath Canceled are DAVINCI, VERITAS, Juno, OSIRIS-APEX, US participation in ExoMars and EnVision… Huge cut to R&A. No funding to begin development of the Uranus Orbiter. If you’ve ever cared about NASA, time to contact congress.

Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.
