“The press doesn't give a shit.”

RFK Jr says only “the sick children should die of measles” Dr Oz says Medicaid isn’t “getting its money’s worth” Now they’re targeting Medicaid, the program which insures disabled & poor children. They want you to believe it’s our fault so you won’t fight back when they eliminate us

I’m struggling trying to comprehend why MSM is so set on covering fPOTUS age/new Cancer diagnosis 24/7 (“how long was this known/covered up”) rather than this catastrophic “big, beautiful” budget bill cutting Medicaid, substance abuse treatment etc, for millions of Americans in need. We are LOST.

The new CEO of The Onion spent his first month on the job getting rid of the website's god awful ad tech and focusing on improving the user experience. He then launched a paid membership, reintroduced the print product, and expanded the staff from 14 to 27.

When traitors who bludgeoned cops and smeared feces in the halls of Congress are hailed as heroes, and when the family of one of those traitors gets $5 million from taxpayers, it’s vital for actual patriots to remember: YOU’RE NOT CRAZY – THEY ARE.

Jessica: When you actually read the transcript of what Trump is talking about, he said oh, Biden's brain is mush, he has stage nine cancer, which is not real, oh, by the way, I just aced a cognitive test.. and we're supposed to believe he is 6'3" and 224 pounds which makes him an NFL wide receiver

"Springsteen didn’t pull any punches — no references to 'our national divide' or 'both sides' or 'polarization.' He was direct, angry and precise in his language." - @guitarwatson.bsky.social www.democracydocket.com/opinion/no-n...

Holding a hearing at 1:00 AM? What is it? They’re hiding? Good opportunity for us to all set our alarms and get up for a little midnight popcorn & airing of the truth.

NEW: The Trump administration abruptly deported as many as 12 migrants to South Sudan on a flight that departed Tuesday, lawyers say, accusing the administration of violating a court order. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

I remember after the “election” I started questioning the complete ABSENCE of ANY appropriate DEM response. People kept saying, “they’re probably meeting secretly & coming up with lawsuits & a plan”. It’s been SIX MONTHS. Not a SINGLE lawsuit. Not a SINGLE plan. There is NO EXCUSE. NONE.

This is a political time to wake up EVERYDAY prepared to Speak Truth to Power!.........

New in PN: Donald Trump and the power of the big (fake) number "Trump repeatedly touted the enormous deals he supposedly obtained from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE — all portrayed as new investments pouring into the US economy — but a close examination shows them to be largely a mirage."

Crockett: That’s why they hired everybody from Fox because all they’re trying to do is put on a show.. I want us to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in ICE custody… *Applause* Van Drew: *bangs gavel*

What I've seen with the people in my life is really tough. These are people who committed to serving the common good, usually for less pay than they'd get elsewhere. They're often completely invisible to the general public, but do essential work. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Every Democratic senator voted to confirm Rubio

DURBIN: How can we give hope to people across the country who are suffering from so many diseases when our government is cutting back on that research? RFK Jr: I do not know about any cuts to ALS research D: I just read them to you! R: I didn't know about them until you told me about them

Billy Long’s Curiously Timed Donations:

BREAKING: Plaintiffs' lawyers allege the Trump administration is planning removals to South Sudan. Lawyers are seeking a TRO based on claims that the Trump admin is trying to send people there without following the process required under a preliminary injunction already issued in D.V.D. v. DHS.

VAN HOLLEN: Like the McCarthy era witchhunts of the 1950s, your campaign of fear & repression is eating away at foundational values of our democracy. I have to say directly & personally that I regret voting for you for sec for state RUBIO: Your regret for voting for me confirms I'm doing a good job

Do you ever think about the great things America could do if we focused our energy on common good rather than corporate greed?

The GOP's budget would make brutal cuts to food assistance and our colleagues won't shield veterans from their cruelty. Veterans are not waste. They're not fraud. And they're not abuse.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

Trump can only destroy America if we let him.

Speaking of Medicaid cuts, does everyone realize what will happen to rural ambulance services and rural Healthcare when Medicaid is cut for thousands of Iowans? Medicaid is likely the largest payer for ambulance services in #Iowa.

A heated exchange between Van Hollen and Rubio: "Writing an op ed to the Tufts newspaper is disrupting the foreign policy of the US? That's pathetic, Mr. Secretary."

Fox News host: “The vast majority of people who are going to be helped by the tax cuts are the wealthiest” www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

More of f this. Shame the shit out of them

Rosen to Rubio: "I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration's destruction of US global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. And I wonder if your proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family ... I know you know this in your heart."

Omg stop trying to debate their points, they don't even believe their points

López runs Cristosal’s anti-corruption and justice division and has been a vocal critic of Bukele’s sweeping arrests of 85,000 mostly young men without due process under the state of exception that began in 2022. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

In a world where anyone might be shipped to a foreign prison without a hearing, some advice if approached by ICE: 1. Don't say anything. 2. Don't sign anything. 3. Talk to a lawyer ASAP. Gift link: wapo.st/3SbvLqA

I am a little worried that Noem testifying to Congress this morning that 'Habeas Corpus' is a legal term that means a President is allowed to disappear people at his discretion is not her being dim, but the next Orwellian attempt to so muddy the waters over their coming transgressions.

A budget is a moral document. Trump and the Republicans are set to make ICE the highest funded federal as enforcement agency ever. $12 BILLION to lock people up while his Core Civic buddies get rich. Twisted.

I am often critical of legacy media, but we all owe a debt of gratitude to the 60 Minutes team, Bill Owens and now Wendy McMahon for standing up for what is right while CBS's owner prepares for total surrender and capitulation. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/b...

More gas-price fairy dust. 🧚 @nbcnews.com

By popular demand, I've removed the paywall from this piece to make it free for everyone since it got so much attention yesterday 👇 Sorry, Tapper and Thompson — voters want Dems to stand up to Trump, not self-flagellate

It is unconscionable to hurt the lowest earners by destroying Medicaid to give the highest earners another tax handout. Call your member of Congress at 202-224-3121 and demand “NO CUTS to Medicaid!”

Since Trump’s mouthpiece Karoline Leavitt just lied that it won’t increase the deficit, here’s Republican Sen. Ron Johnson saying “This will increase the deficit by $4 TRILLION” and “absolutely” cut Medicaid. They lie as easily as they breathe. Not that anyone is surprised.

Baldwin to RFK Jr: "Is funding for Alzheimer's research centers DEI? Because you're holding up $65m for 14 of those centers in 9 states, including UW Madison. Is funding for cancer centers DEI? Because you're holding up $47m in cancer center support grants at 9 cancer centers in 8 states."

🤷🏼‍♂️

Apparently I don't know much about anything, but how hard would it be to knock out 15 cliché-ridden paragraphs on summer-worthy books without enlisting a bot? I mean, I could do it in about...90 minutes?

We'll never be able to produce the same amount of "content" as the Sun-Times, but we also promise to never use AI! If you're looking for another Chicago publication to support, you have options!

my sense is that people are still dramatically underrating how much freaking money crypto is pouring into elections

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the inevitable defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy.

They're arresting Members of Congress. Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order. Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.

Only seen this photo shared by @tbretc.bsky.social, but it looks like the Chicago Sun Times had AI write about summer books…and it included some that don’t exist. Cool, cool. Could’ve paid me or someone else, you know? This is what I do. But yeah, go with AI slop. Do you.
