Trump brazenly lies: "We're cutting $1.7 trillion in this bill and you're not gonna feel any of it. Your Medicaid is left alone. It's left the same."

Facts matter. (And you won't get them from Trump, Vance, Hegseth or Rubio.)

What do they want to say that they "can't."

Attention for profit companies: do not increase your profits

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

Republicans start wars and fuck up the economy. Every time. You would think it would be easier to win elections against them.

This is exactly the right messaging.

Any corporate executive who signs off on a bribe to Trump should be prepared to explain their crimes in front of Congress and to the public when Democrats retake power

Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.

From a week and a half ago: “As of Monday, the model shows, about 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have died because of the administration’s cutbacks to funding for aid groups and support organizations. The overall death count grows by 103 people an hour.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Iran has been 6 months away from a nuclear weapon for at least 25 years.

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

@booker.senate.gov @kim.senate.gov extremely disappointed in your votes for the crypto bill. Gotta get those donations from the fake money brigade I guess.

Lemme 'splain all the exciting news that came out of the high stakes US-China trade talks, and their exciting new agreement to agree on an old agreement.

The Israeli defense minister is openly threatening the life of GretaThunberg and other unarmed peace activists on an aid ship. Where the f**k are the world’s leaders? The world’s media?

Excellent question.

Elon Musk retaliates against Donald Trump and calls him ungrateful. “Without me he would have lost the election!”

Elon should explain to us exactly how he won the election for Trump.

"7 of the cited sources don’t appear to exist at all." NOTUS: Epidemiologist Katherine Keyes is listed in the MAHA report as author of a study on anxiety in adolescents (and) was surprised to hear of the citation. “The paper cited isn't a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with."

I have never seen any example of the left "hating" young men that doesn't distill to "refusal to coddle them/insistence on treating them like adults with agency."

To understand what the GOP is forcing through at midnight: •Gutting $880 billion from Medicaid •Gutting $500 billion from Medicare •Gutting funding for SNAP (food assistance) •Gutting clean energy protections, which will also cost 400,000 jobs 1/2

MAGA Murder Budget. That's the name.

The GOP loves blaming the national debt on govt spending that helps millions of people. What they won't tell you? The real culprit is giveaways to corporations and the rich. If not for the regressive tax cuts under Bush & Trump, we would have a stable debt-to-GDP ratio.

Jack Ciattarelli will bring Donald Trump's MAGA agenda to New Jersey. I’ve beaten MAGA Republicans before and I’m ready to do it again, and then get to work lowering the cost of housing, healthcare, and utilities, so you can get ahead.

Forbes: The Qataris have been trying to get rid of that ostentatious luxury jet for five years, but no one would buy it. It costs too much to fly, costs more to maintain, and needs too big a landing strip. They had another one they unloaded on Turkey. Delicious. www.forbes.com/sites/jeremy...

He’s so goddamned stupid

Trump just now: "We are going to be taking away Harvard's tax exempt status." 26 U.S. Code § 7217: "It shall be unlawful for any applicable person to request an ...investigation of any particular taxpayer with respect to the tax liability of such taxpayer." The president is an applicable person.

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down
