"Reducing the operating budget by $900 million, as the Trump administration wants to do, would require closing 350 of the 433 parks, monuments, historic sites and other locations overseen by the Park Service..." (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/o...

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

NEW: Abrego Garcia is getting a lot of attention, but many people are asking about the rest of the men being unlawfully held in CECOT. Here's what's going on with them. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/so-what-ab...

It feels different every time I sing the National Anthem these days. Never before have I felt the significance of it ending with the question: Oh say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave O'er the land of the free And the home of the brave?

Measles is now in Louisiana, Virginia, and Missouri as of this weekend, making the total 27 states (more than half!). There are over 800 cases, 597 in West Texas. If you were born after 1957 and got vaccinated between 1963 and 1967 (you got the killed-virus vaccine), please get a booster!

Sorry christians, but God is with US.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

Did you ever think you'd see an actual holocaust happen in the US?

@realbillmaher.bsky.social You think because he smiled at you, he's not the cruel monster who's recreating a holocaust? Hint: he's a conman

Evil reigns

This post has broken us. Broken justice. Evil over our nation. Lies over truth. Defiance of the law and the ruling of the Supreme Court, which itself is compromised. Hatred reigns and feeds the MAGA masses.

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

And a dozen eggs cost $6.23

The house GOP passed The SAVE Act today, which would make it difficult for 8 out of 10 women to vote (if your last name after marriage doesn't match your birth certificate). Or you can pay $130 for a passport. This is voter suppression of almost 70 million women. Tell your senator to vote NO

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Thursday to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a major voter suppression measure that, if it became law, could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine U.S. democracy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.

Tim Walz: "You you claim to love freedom but want to restrict certain groups, you don’t love freedom. You love privilege." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #MomSky

The GOP's nostalgia for manufacturing jobs is telling. In reality, their parents and grandparents enjoyed a "good life" because of unions, pensions, high marginal tax rates, and strong social policies — with a little post-War exceptionalism and a lot of racism and sexism thrown in.

RFK Jr. is refusing to appear in front of the HELP committee this Thursday after being summoned by Bernie Sanders and Bill Cassidy. Yesterday, after attending the funeral of an unvaccinated child who died of measles, he took time to praise two quacks who use unproven treatments for the disease.

Boycotting the grocery store until they start buying an equivalent volume of groceries from me

Another unvaccinated child has died from the measles in Texas. There are over 600 cases in the US right now. Letting children die to a completely preventable disease is absolute insanity.

#TrumpTariffs game plan

I explained it to several young teens today: imagine we wanted you to become more self-sufficient in the kitchen, so we decided to charge you $20 every time you got takeout. But also we have no food in the house, we won't let you go to the store, and also you don't know how to cook.
