AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

Strains bounds of propriety? Strains…bounds…of…proprietary? Am I having a stroke? What is happening?

Aaaand there it is.

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging." Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council. I wrote about my decision in TIME. time.com/7285045/resi...

It's almost as if granting a criminal blanket immunity was a bad idea.

Damn, dude. Just say they’re white.

Despicable. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

He did the meme again.

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated. “Only very sick kids should die from measles.” No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die. Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

If you have occasion to deal with a federal employee, remember to be nice to them. These workers are constantly having their jobs threatened and they have to deal with a jerk constantly threatening them with a chainsaw.

Your daily reminder that the U.S. Postal SERVICE is a service that is designed to benefit taxpayers and not a business that should be expected to turn a profit.

We are living in the dumbest timeline

So... no merit hmm?

Reporter: I was watching your face during the meeting.. what was going through your mind when the President talked about erasing the border.. Carney: I’m glad that you couldn’t tell what was going through my mind Reporter: Oh I could

At a Hands Off rally on Capitol Hill, former Social Security Commissioner Martin O'Malley slams the Trump regime for their gargantuan lies about Social Security: "We have to put the brakes on Elon Musk and Donald Trump trying to wreck its reputation and wreck its customer service so they can…

Listen to the whole thing please. Our embarrassing, insulting and infuriating President, and the Canadian PM who can barely contain himself while Trump rants, and who then delivers the coolest, shadiest, and most complete takedown to end the “Canada as part of the U.S.” insult.

UNDERWOOD: Do you believe that the US government has the authority to deport American citizens NOEM: No, and we are not deporting US citizens UNDERWOOD: Several American citizens have been deported

God, I wish this were true. ☠️😭

He's also the president who killed things like this. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Curtis Yarvin wrote that “as the crappy govts we inherited … are smashed, they shld be replaced by a global spiderweb of…independent mini-countries, each governed by its own…corporation w/o regard to the residents’ opinions.” This reminds me of DOGE, “Network States,” & “Freedom Cities.” You? 1/

The corporate media’s coverage of the protests was horrible. A lot of news orgs ran one or two small pieces, but they barely scratched the surface of what was happening on the ground. So I’m here to bring you some of the inspirational stories from our amazing subscribers who saw it all firsthand.

What a sad loss for this country that we are not currently benefiting from the wisdom and guidance of Kamala Harris' patriotism and selfless leadership and instead we are dealing with a two-bit authoritarian con man grifter who cares nothing about the very ideals that truly make America great.

When they threaten, we need to take them seriously.

Less than two weeks after Pope Francis's passing, the man who is the poster child for the Seven Deadly Sins posted a picture of himself depicting him as the Pope. This is not only offensive to millions of Catholics but is a stark insight into the mind of a deeply disturbed individual. Appalling.

Announcing lists for Senate Dems and House Dems: Senate: bsky.app/profile/did:... House: bsky.app/profile/did:... Let me know if I missed anyone!

Please follow and amplify @agomezfcc.bsky.social She is a brilliant sitting FCC Commissioner making clear the importance of public media.

The Trump administration, U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez, Jr., ruled, does not "possess the lawful authority under the (Alien Enemies Act), and based on the Proclamation, to detain Venezuelan aliens, transfer them within the United States, or remove them from the country."

Trump is shredding our Constitution and tanking our economy. Thom Tillis lacks the courage to stand up to him — I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit on the sidelines.   I’m running to fight for a better future for North Carolinians.   Join our campaign — let’s take back the Senate.

We keep hearing so much about 2026, but too many of us forget that we have elections to win in 2025. @normeisen.bsky.social and @samararangel.bsky.social have put together a must-read, in-depth piece on the elections this year that require our attention the most. www.brookings.edu/articles/us-...

I was among the people interview for this piece. Glad to see 60 Minutes standing behind it.

Trump's use of Alien Enemies Act for Venezuela deportations is unlawful, judge rules. Supreme Court says migrants must be able to contest deportations in court. #MomSky #Voices4Victory www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.

I was among those who pointed out that an inability to get Abrego Garcia made Trump look weak. Trump can't stand to look weak. Now he's acknowledged he can get Abrego Garcia back. In doing so, he's given the lawyers the ammunition they need to prevail in court. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The university coalition is growing and may become a real civil society pushback against fascism. It started with Wesleyan and little colleges, but now the Ivies and some other big R1s are in battle mode too. It matters that establishment institutional heavyweights are fighting.

Mom & minor daughters are citizens who just moved from MD to Oklahoma. This statement from the Mom should be read, absorbed & circulated. ICE cannot be allowed to terrorize vulnerable families. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social kfor.com/news/local/w...

As the federal govt considers “investigating” ActBlue, I can report that i sat through meeting where they literally patterned their version of it, called WinRed as identical. They even follow me (screenshot for when they unfollow in a panic soon:

Doesn’t “I assume they preordered” equate to agreeing that tariffs are a bad idea?

complete batshit insanity

Good luck today, Canada 🇨🇦 elbows up!

A disgusting new level of propaganda. Karoline Leavitt wasted taxpayer dollars plastering mug shots across the White House lawn — like trophies. Lies. Fear. Dehumanization. All to distract us from their own failures.

Breaking: Rep. Gerry Connolly announces that he is not running for re-election and will step down as ranking member of the Oversight Committee.

“It’s hard to see how Trump would have acted any differently if he were a Russian asset than how he has acted in the first 100 days of his second term.” Huh. You don't say. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/26/u...

Yesterday, Amanda Frost at the National Constitution Center said, "There's lots of interesting and hard constitutional questions out there and I don't think [birthright citizenship] is one of them." She went on to say the 14A was designed to end the debate. The debate itself is anti-constitutional.
