Senate Republicans voted to kill an EPA rule limiting the seven most hazardous air pollutants emitted by chemical plants and other industrial facilities. Inhaling even small amounts of these pollutants can cause brain damage and cancer. How is this Making America Healthy Again?

Trump's reckless move to gut AmeriCorps is already hurting communities in Maryland and across the country. The "America First" president is coming after programs that help AMERICANS so he can pass a tax giveaway for himself, Musk and their billionaire friends.

Even the Atlantic can slip into the trap of adopting Trump's rhetoric. It says "Trump is delivering" on his commitment "to...cut government waste." Trump is cutting government operations, not government waste. He's not evaluating what is wasteful; he's slashing important programs—which has a cost.

Trump is demanding that DOGE investigate polls after his favorability numbers tanked so badly that even Fox News couldn’t spin them to look good. He’s calling it all “fraud.” Seems like a very “efficient” use of tax dollars.

Hearing Brown hasn’t received a cent of NIH funding since April 3. Again, this is what happens b/c we let a bunch of teenage losers illegally take over the government payment systems. This is what Orban did too— today’s neofascist takeovers involve taking control of money. Quotes in thread 1/

COLLINS: You said that if SCOTUS said someone needed to be returned you would abide by that. You said that on Air Force One just a few days ago TRUMP: Why don't you just say, 'isn't it wonderful that we're keeping criminals out of our country?' That's why nobody watches you anymore.

One thing I think people don’t understand is that South Korea is an incredibly polarized country, has absurdly high wealth concentration, and also requires absurdly high margins to remove the President. They did it anyway.

In a way the tone is almost as frightening as the substance. The dissent writes like it understands the stakes, and what kind of regime we're on the precipice of becoming. The majority writes like it's hearing a case about whether rollerblades can be taxed as vehicles.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent. Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list. This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts. It's straight out of the fascist playbook.

This is so bad. Worse than people can imagine. When you work in our systems, you're generally working in dozens of separate programs that interact with the COBOL architecture. Every one of those would need to be rebuilt. Even if they succeed in migrating, no one would be able to do their jobs.

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5. This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

What if the secret to winning elections is somehow Trump's syntax. We need a guy to say stuff like "But we're going to abolish billionaires and we'll be doing it very soon. They'll be paying very high taxes but it'll be very fair. And frankly they haven't paid taxes in a very long time"
