Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.

You don't "not recall" telling DOJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. You either remember saying it, or you remember that you definitely didn't say it. Emil Bove saying he doesn't recall means he definitely said it, and there's a roomful of people that can testify to it.

Yet another outrageous and unconscionable decision from six right wing justices. Many women, especially poor ones, will suffer as a consequence for the justices, no doubt it was about abortion. But it’s not. It’s about fundamental women’s health. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/u...

Another day testing the limits of resilience. The Alexandria NSF building was designed for the NSF merit review process (gold standard), complete with a floor devoted to panels. Now we aren’t allowed to have in person panels. The loss of US science leadership will haunt this country for decades.

If even a fraction of what this letter says is true, Emil Bove should be prosecuted for criminal contempt and disbarred. In no way should he be confirmed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

I'm in person at House Appropriations Committee's markup of the FY 26 Legislative branch appropriations bill. The legislation makes a 50% cut to Congress's watchdog, the GAO, as well as prevents it from fulfilling statutory duties on impoundment. It also cuts the Library by 10%. It's gonna be lit

Just moments ago, the conservative majority of SCOTUS handed down a ruling that would allow states to cut off Medicaid for reproductive care, while Congress is actively trying to pass a national ACA abortion ban in reconciliation. This fight is now!

@timmiller.bsky.social: “The fact that you have to have a Secretary of Defense go out on TV and berate the media like they’re children and do all this puffery about the president. To me, it shows a lot of insecurity and just a lack of seriousness in the Pentagon.”

I agree with this. The whistleblower letter written on behalf of Erez Reuveni, a former DOJ senior immigration lawyer, basically describes in extensive detail a contumacious if not criminal course of conduct by Emil Bove and other senior officials at DOJ.

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

Our current President is a traitorous, convicted felon, and a court-adjudicated rapist who lacks the intelligence, character, decency, and cognitive ability to lead. His presence is doing us irreparable harm. We should not normalize him, but normalize stating the truth about him.

Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill could increase the country’s medical debt by $50 billion. Some families’ medical debt could increase by over $20,000 due to the lack of coverage. And it’s all to finance tax cuts that overwhelmingly help the rich. Reverse Robin Hood.
