Kamala Harris ran on the biggest expansion to Medicare in modern history and personally advocated for expanding Medicaid. In response, voters elected the leader of the party that is about to gut Medicaid and the ACA. So much for "just give us healthcare", huh?

Even linkedin gets it

This kind of RACIST, XENOPHOBIC bullshit cannot go unchecked. Every single American should file an ethics complaint against Nancy Mace today. Make a Submission | Office of Congressional Conduct share.google/mkm6aW2HhH0E...

Someone tell this dumbfuck you either embrace naked power in the service of fascism and shrug off the criticism, OR you get to whine about "harsh words" targeting judges. You don't get to do both, dipshit, and you made your choice. apnews.com/article/supr...

Trump loses latest bid to get Central Park Five defamation lawsuit tossed www.cnbc.com/2025/06/28/t...

I don't think the average American understands how many folks pay for nursing home care through Medicaid. It's not just poor people. This is oversimplifying but, the way our system is set up is that you sell everything you own to pay for it, then you apply for medicaid to pay for the rest.

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

ICE does not behave as law enforcement. They have no badges, often no prominent identification and hide their faces behind masks. They kidnap and brutalize people whose only crime is coming here to work.

In the time before widespread vaccination, young children often became disabled or lost their lives to whooping cough, measles, rubella and other infectious diseases that ran rampant in the U.S. www.latimes.com/world-nation...

It's almost like surveillance capitalism is a problem for *everyone*

Following Rep. Andy Ogles' call to strip Zohran Mamdani's citizenship, Hakeem Jeffries issued a video response saying, "Your whole life is fake, bro."

🥺

"This is illegal!" "Nah ah! You haven't sued me yet. Also, no one can stop me while it plays out in court. Neener!"

BREAKING: 1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. No grandma should be kicked out of her nursing home so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island.

Republicans know that this “Big Bullshit Bill” will take away health care that kids like Vivian depend on, but they are doing it anyway to give tax breaks to billionaires. This is horrifically evil and #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Ahhhh memories

almost ten years ago. what a different world this would be if people had listened instead of mocking her.

That smile... 😅

If she thinks that, she needs to get off the bench and go back home to her kitchen and kids. She and Thomas are pick-me’s who rule against their own rights.

It's so 🤔🤯🤨🙄 that Amy Coney Barrett rejects national injunction because it was "conspicuously nonexistent for most of the nation's history". You know what else was conspicuously nonexistent for most of the nation's history? Women on the Supreme Court

Mark and Melissa saw the humanity in everyone. Let’s honor them by doing the same.

Timeline cleanse. Minneapolis had a city cat tour. #Caturday

*goose meme** What caused the pile-up, John. WHAT CAUSED THE PILE-UP

Senate Republicans dropped a nearly 1,000-page “Big Beautiful Bill” in the DEAD OF THE NIGHT. And they want to vote on it TODAY. Trump is jamming through a bill that rips away health care, closes hospitals, raises grocery and utility bills to give tax breaks to billionaires.

Gods' work....

I don't know about you, but I'll take the only black female justice over any of those other corrupt white boys. #Pinks www.rawstory.com/brown-jackso...

This is 100% true, just as the press spent ZERO time on the attempted mass assassination of the entirety of democratic leadership through pipe bombs just a few years ago. It’s literally never even discussed! A MAGA terrorist tried to kill all of the leading dems!

"For the child born this summer in Texas, whose parents receive no documents, whose name never appears in any system, and who grows up asking why she can’t go on field trips, apply for scholarships, or open a bank account, the consequences are not legal theory. They are her life."

Not enough has been written about Schrödinger’s assistant, Otto.

Sure, do it. Why the fuck not. #DoSomething

I sure as hell have noticed. How about you? 🤨

We were so fortunate to have such a good and decent man as our president.

More Jan 6 prosecutors have been fired. Per a memo sent to one of them .. the termination is “effective immediately” (Reminder: Justice Dept prosecutors secured a 100% conviction rate at jury trials)

Two weeks ago, Melissa and Mark Hortman were shot and killed, an assassination of a Democratic lawmaker and her husband. Today they will be laid to rest. Trump still has not contacted anyone to express his condolences. A short 🧵

I hate to break it to the Christofascists but they can remove every book about LGBTQ+ people from every classroom and their kids are still going to learn that those people exist, because some of their classmates will be LGBTQ+ or have parents who are. No one is going back in the closet.

As big as the Mamdani win is, Landers ascent is in some ways even more significant for the national Democratic Party. Most Dem electeds know that they don't have what Zohran has. But most can at least imagine themselves as a Lander.

If Jeff Bezos can afford to rent Venice for a $50 million wedding, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

I mean, I figured that was just a picture of Liberty’s death shroud since Republicans have killed her and she no longer lifts a light as a beacon to the world

I don’t mind if people think differently from me. But when unproven beliefs are used to shape laws or justify treating others as inferior, that’s where I draw the line. Misogyny justified by MANmade scripture is a prime example. KEEP RELIGION OUT OF STATE AND SCHOOL. Religion belongs in Church!

Former Presidents doing what Presidents should be doing .
