Lawrence O'Donnell has been reporting in a way that is the verbal equivalent of kicking someone in the balls — and then doing it again, just for good measure. That's the kind of reporting we need. Not this candy-ass, sugar-coated BS so many others are putting out. #LawrenceGetsIt

"ICE thugs have good reason to expect their superiors will give them a pass for even egregious misconduct and are behaving accordingly. But some may be less cavalier if they're on notice about the risk of being held accountable under state criminal laws."

MAGA gets all misty-eyed with nostalgia for the 1950s. And it’s not just the White Supremacy. They think of it as a time of great prosperity. But they don't realize that government programs like the GI Bill were driving much of that prosperity. You know, socialism.

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.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Law enforcement has been sent to silence disabled Americans peacefully protesting in the Senate—because Republicans are trying to rip away the Medicaid that keeps them alive. This is cruelty, plain & simple. We see you. We won’t be silent. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid @adamparkhomenko.bsky.social

Trump gutted FEMA grants that help communities recover from natural disasters. His budget includes even more cuts. He's also taking an axe to NOAA — the agency that warns us of severe weather. He's declaring fake "emergencies" while reducing our ability to deal with real ones.

Good night, Bluesky friends. I hope you are all staying cool. The news what can I say. I really hope some sanity happens soon. It is getting way too bizarre in my opinion. Onward through the storm we go. Always pushing through it. 💙☮️🦋💙

There’s a mass shooting and Trump says to get over it. The GOP strips away Medicaid and McConnell says we’ll get over it. You know what? We won’t get over it. It took 43 years to get an apology for what they did to the Japanese American community. But we got one. We will persist. Count on it.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.
