Congressional Republicans' budget would give tax cuts to the wealthy while taking food and health care away from those who need it most. They promised to lower costs for the American people – but this budget does the opposite.

The man with the nuclear codes walked into a wall. 😬

New numbers from ITEP on tax cuts in House tax bill: It’s a $79,000 tax cut for the top 1%. This is just not what America needs.

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

Keep up the Target Boycott, people. It's working.

Tariff uncertainty, DEI backlash hurt Target’s results, and stock falls -- "Target said that reaction to the rollback of its diversity, equity, and inclusion plans was a headwind in the first quarter" (Big FAFO energy)

Once a foreign government can openly give the president a half-billion-dollar plane as a personal gift, there’s no red line left between a democracy and a full-blown kleptocracy. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/corruption...

"Some National Weather Service offices, including Jackson, no longer have overnight staff from midnight to 7AM. All three Kentucky offices - Jackson, Paducah and Louisville - are short-staffed. There is no meteorologist in charge at any of the three offices..." www.kentucky.com/news/state/k...

Whoa! New polling shows that a majority of voters in EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT oppose cuts to Medicaid. Members of Congress should take note. ☎️ Flood the Capitol switchboard to voice your opposition to the bill from hell. 202-224-3121. Defend Medicaid! Defeat Cancer!

Elon Musk’s DOGE has canceled 26 leases for Department of Transportation (DOT) subagencies across 20 states and Puerto Rico.

This is a must-read: The Trump administration's use of anti-semitism to attack immigrants and higher education mirrors plans by a group of Christian nationalists in the Heritage Foundation (which produced Project 2025). 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

Imagine that! Who’da thunk it? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/u...

I stood on the House floor today to sound the alarm: HB 113 is a quiet coup. It erases legislative intent, silences agency expertise, and hands power to far-right courts. This is Project 2025 in action, right here in Texas. We must not obey in advance. We must stand in opposition. (2/2) #txlege

This is still part of the Constitution, FYI: "[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust... shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

Indiana’s state government refused to accept federal money to provide kids with free meals during the summer.
