Rs say this bcuz the truth - "i don't think saving those people is worth the cost" - doesn't sound good. But if you spend $800 bn less on providing insurance, some people will lose insurance. Of them, some will get sick. Of them, some will be too poor get sufficient care. Of them, some will die.

#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue DON’T EVER THINK…that this is normal. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into believing that this is how a president behaves. If this was 1945 Germany, he’d be hold up in a bunker under the Chancellery living out the final days of his Reich.

They promised to root out waste and abuse and found none, and in the process wasted money and abused innocent people. They promised to deport 20 million people but are not getting anywhere near that, so they are desperately arresting anyone they can get their hands on whilst wearing face masks.

my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Democrats gave us Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food stamps (SNAP), the Children's Health Insurance program (CHIP) and the ACA. Ever since the GOP has been seeking to gut these programs in order to give their wealthy donors a tax cut.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "The Christians in Congress should be feeding the hungry, but they're cutting food stamps. They should be healing the sick, but they are cutting Medicaid. They should be standing up to the billionaire class, but instead they're cutting their taxes."

What's the point in Politico adding the word "flatly" to this headline? Vought's denial is a lie. Why dress up the denial? Is Politico awarding performance points?

Pope Leo XIV will be celebrating a mass in Chicago on the same day as Trump’s multi-million tax paid birthday military parade. Chicago is expecting at least 1 million people to show up for the event. If you can make it to the Pope’s mass then do it, make it the biggest event of the day.

Trump uses massive amounts of federal resource to visit his golf clubs. Why won’t House Republicans cut these trips instead of Medicaid?

Please read and share. And share again. Trump, Musk and Rubio have sent millions of the poorest people in the world to their death. On purpose. Why? For tax cuts for billionaires? To appease Putin? What is the possible justification for this?

Cutting $20 billion to NIH over 25 years may save $500 billion on paper, but it’d end up costing $8.2 trillion in lost human health. But NIH isn't the only thing being cut. The budget also slashes all NSF-funded science by 73 percent. NASA faces “the biggest single-year cut to NASA in history."

"Getting rid of USAID is a very easy way of winning headlines... But if your one accomplishment in government is to rip funds away from the neediest, so that they can die, so they can be unmedicated, so that they can starve, that is a moral stain that I hope will haunt you 'til the day you die."

People are pissed this morning because we exposed Peter Thiel. We’re under constant attack, but that’s expected. The greatest threat to the Trump administration is an informed public. That’s why they rely on secrecy and distraction. But we won’t look away.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people
