Tucked inside the House GOP tax bill? A massive national voucher program. $5B/year in tax credits to subsidize private & religious schools—$20B over 4 years. Public money, zero oversight. A backdoor defund of public education masked as “choice.” #HandsOffPublicSchools

Even before latest thing I've been telling people for months Joni Ernst is way more vulnerable next year than people think. Dems should be investing a lot right now laying the ground work in the state.

Popok: I don’t want to live in a country where I wake up and the president and his henchmen are sending other human beings—and they are outsourcing them for cash. Paying cash to third-world countries that don’t respect our values.

I think we’ve found the new GOP motto:

My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

The @rollingstone.com hed is a little more direct than the @nytimes.com. 🤡 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Just walked past a giant electronic CDPH billboard that said “Watch for measles symptoms after you travel” and boy I don’t know guys I would say 2025 is going poorly

RFK Junior: “The Earth is flat.” Everyone: “What?” “That was a formatting error.”

Yeah this is the way — mock his defenders as bootlicking stooges and laugh at them.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

If you know anything about RFK Jr the fact that he falsified the MAHA report should not surprise you in the least.

The cancellation of funds for Moderna to develop the bird flu vaccine is a heinous mistake. This will inevitably result in the further spread of disease, loss of life, and economic consequences. Yet another shortsighted, foolish move, puppeted by RFK Jr. to fuel his anti-vax agenda. Despicable.

New York has a higher per-capita income, a lower crime rate and a functional insurance system.

A Southern elephant seal makes a surprise visit to the residential neighborhood of Gordon's Bay in Cape Town, South Africa, and triggers an almost nine-hour rescue effort to return him to the coast.

Rep. Dan Goldman asked an ICE agent why he was masked: "He looked at me with a straight face and said, 'Because it's cold in here.' Of course it was 70 degrees. And I said to him, 'Will you testify to that under oath?' And he walked away."

Harrison Ruffin Tyler, the last surviving grandson of John Tyler, the 10th president of the U.S., died on Sunday at age 96. He was the last of three generations spanning nearly the entire history of the country. When his grandfather was born, George Washington had just become president.

The Trump administration released a report last week that it billed as a “clear, evidence-based foundation” for action on a range of children’s health issues. But the report, from the Make America Healthy Again Commission, cited studies that did not exist. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/w...

Just in time to join the race for what diseases will kill us quickest. A new variant of HIV. Why not. It just tracks with Earth 2s timeline of fuckery everywhere. #SheShed www.news-medical.net/news/2022022...

Ingenious 😂 FFS

They were always going to go after the easy targets. These lazy fucks don’t want to chase actual criminals.

These men were building us homes. The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants. Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS. Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.

Lying: It's the Lord's work. Glory!

Oh look! He was set up, as we suspected. Could not have been more obvious from the absurd letter. Will @MarshaBlackburn issue a retraction? 🤔 www.cnn.com/2025/05/29/p...

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

More Americans in this country are scared that at any other time in my life....which dates back to 1966. I grew up during the Cold War. Not even the potential for being vaporized by a nuclear blast was as scary as having the POTUS wiping his ass on the Constitution.
