I voted for Bush Jr and then Dems ever since. Concerned about the world I’m leaving to my kids. I want a public health option, equality, and a sane environmental policy.

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

I have only seen @repdangoldman.bsky.social speak to the unlawful use of masks by ICE agents. We demand a response from dem leaders❗️Hold a hearing - sanctioned or NOT. ICE now posing as TEP (electric company) in Tucson. Enough of the lawlessness! I want accountability from Congress.

"I was shocked, if not stunned, by the breadth of the pardons..... It sends the message political violence toward a political goal is acceptable in a modern democratic society" Former head of Justice Dept's Capitol Siege division speaks to @CBSNews =====>

This, and so much more.

The fact that Fort Worth Texas has a back log of over 900 rape kits they 'don't have time' to test, but Texas Sheriffs did have the time to spend a month tracking a woman who MIGHT have been going out of state for an abortion tells you all you need to know about what Texas thinks about women..

And this is what I mean about backlash.

The government will spend £6 billion to replenish munitions — depleted because of how much has been sent to Ukraine — during this Parliament, including £1.5 billion for six new bomb factories sustaining 1,000 jobs. More on the Sunday Crunch.

Trump just nominated Paul Ingrassia to run the Office of Special Counsel. Ingrassia is a former far-right podcast host and election denier who once shared an article calling for “martial law” to keep Donald Trump in office following his loss in the 2020 election. He's 29.

“Is this a roundabout, backdoor way of privatizing public education?” 💯 AZ’s universal voucher program was never truly intended to help AZ students – the goal is, and always has been, to funnel money to private schools that lack the oversight & accountability of public schools.

5 years after the brutal murder of George Floyd police kill more people each year than ever before, even as violent crime has dropped. Police brutality must be included in our democracy discussions.

Jk deporting you

Apple will probably be like, “ok” and then spend the next 4 years surveying sights for US factories, getting planning permission, buying up some land, planning out buildings and so on hoping for the best, waving around a '5 year plan for on-shore manufacturing and skills building or whatever…

While the current President cashes in on bribes like it's a clearance sale on corruption, our brave watchdogs Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper are heroically fixated on the real national crisis: that the former President—who just got diagnosed with cancer—is tragically... old.

Devastating. The cowardice and the betrayal of an incomparable news brand.

President Declines Gift (1925)

DOGE claimed 40% of SSA phone calls were fraud. After digging through 110,000 of them, they found just two. Not 2,000... two, and they were just flagged as 'possible fraud'. DOGE’s $160B “savings” actually cost taxpayers $135B, meaning the fraud hunt cost much more than it saved.

This tax proposal is far more expensive than the $2.5 trillion estimate. Usually these budget estimates look at a 10 year window. Here, the expensive provisions expire in 4 years to manipulate that window. The actual 10 year cost if the provisions are then extended is more than $5 trillion.

TAKE THIS IN… 📌Six ICE cars 📌One dad 📌Two kids left behind crying in a truck Terrorizing families in broad daylight, in a farmworker town, like it’s a cartel raid isn’t law enforcement—it’s a trauma operation. We are a fascist state, and I don’t recognize our country.

Donald Trump is about to accept a gift of a jet from Qatar. This is a gift to him personally. He wants to transfer the jet to his presidential "library" - meaning to his personal use and that of his heirs. More analysis of Trump corruption here www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpU2...
