Even though America’s infrastructure is crumbling beneath our feet, Trump paused funding for the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act on Day One of his administration. Now, incredibly, he’s slapping his name on signs for jobs funded before his freeze and taking credit for progress... 1/2

Young Democrats are growingly frustrated with the party’s struggle to resonate with their peers, especially after Democrats hemorrhaged support from young voters, who either shifted toward President Donald Trump or sat out the November election altogether. cal.news/3ZMfCMf

Is there any sector of the economy Convicted Felon Donald Trump hasn’t destroyed? Joe Biden left the Convicted Felon the best economy in the world. Not perfect, but getting there. Trump sabotaged it in weeks. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #TrumpIsACriminal #FuckTrump www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/r...

Pretending that you have to take health care from poor people because of fraud in the system while Elon Musk and Donald Trump are on the most cartoonish corruption spree in history is so grotesque it's almost hard to believe

I again sincerely appreciate Abughazaleh taking a hard line here and showing vastly more sense and political maturity, to say nothing of humanity, than a lot of supposed "allies" of Palestine.

When something like this happens, there's always a raft of "in any other administration this would be a historic scandal" responses. It's important to remember why this admin is different. It's not the media, and it's not (primarily) the admin itself. It's the congressional GOP. Period.

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

"investigators actually believe the man may have been framed so that he would get arrested and be deported from the U.S. before he got a chance to testify in a trial as a victim of assault" The DHS is now framing people and even law enforcement knows it. apnews.com/article/ice-...

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

Remember when Republicans fought central planning? Now they’re applauding a president who tells Apple where to produce and Harvard who to hire. They've trading in limited government for micromanagement, freedom for fealty, and market forces for Mar-A-Lago favors.

the thing I always come back to when we get these “wow, scandalous behavior isn’t being treated as scandalous” headlines is that the people involved know how to make things into a scandal we saw it with the Harvard “plagiarism” scandal we saw it with Biden’s age it is a deliberate choice

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023. They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."

This is incredibly heartbreaking. Another example of what women have to deal with when seeking medical care. When we aren’t listened to or taken seriously when we know that something is wrong. When the arrogance of doctors is pitted against those who know their bodies… people.com/professional...
