Hey DOGE!

Wow, this one Fox actually covered. But let’s see whether this gets any run on their network instead of just the website.

Page One in Des Moines. @jemsinger.bsky.social

The GOP's billionaires’ tax bill pulls the plug on Medicaid coverage for millions of Americans, including thousands of Maryland families. The Senate must block this attack on the American people.

The Democrat’s top line ad theme for the midterms…

Stop voting for Senators that don’t care if you die.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

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.

I wouldnt be too quick to buy this. Musk got what he came for all along—our personal information. The world’s richest guy doesn’t walk away from a $250 mil investment empty handed. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/u...

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

Start every day with this reality: EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined. #LeaveNoPowerOnTheTable ballotpedia.org/United_State...

The past few months have been tough, and we just want to say thank you. In the beginning, it felt like we were yelling into the wind, no one was listening. But then you all showed up. You raised your voices, shared the truth, and made the media pay attention.

Crockett: They have nothing to show for it except for those top earners being able to have their next trophy wife or buy their next yacht, or get their next plane, that doesn't work for me. And that obviously does not work for my constituents.

Well payed, Harvard, well played. Harvard offers FREE American Government course.

I hate it when I RSVP for an event and can’t make it. Anyway, here is the link to free tickets for Captain Bone Spur’s military parade… events.america250.org/events/250th...

HARVARD PROF David Armitage: “We’re being made an example of by Trump — authoritarians across the world go for the universities first, because they’re set up for freedom of thought and provide critical opposition.”

Been sayin'

I'm at the Capitol & will be there overnight. House Republicans will try to pass a bill to strip Americans of their health care. They're holding this vote in the middle of the night because they don't want you to know about it. I'm voting HELL NO. www.politico.com/live-updates...

My loyal companion Bode died last night of canine lymphoma. Since 2016, he was by my side at work and at play. He was always happy and no matter how bad other things were, he always made me smile. Quite simply, he was the best dog ever. I already miss him terribly.

“.. would also mark the first time in the history of SNAP that the federal government would no longer ensure children in every state have access to food benefits ..” @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2025/05/21/s...

House Republicans have finally released the complete version of their dreadful plan. And its confirmed our worst nightmares. This monstrous legislation demolishes health coverage and food assistance for millions. Heading to the Capitol for debate.

Listen to Leader Hakeem Jeffries Call Your Congressional Representatives 202 224-3121 14 MILLION WILL LOSE HEALTHCARE Hospitals will close and nursing care facilities

What you do in the dark, always comes out in the light. Americans Need Medicaid & Voting at 1:00 a.m. to Gut it doesn’t hide it… it makes it more evil! #MomSky

Something that people need to now accept was that there was never any chance at all that Trump would impose harsh sanctions on Putin. It was entirely an act, and people fell for it time and time again. Putin can commit any war crime and Trump will protect him.

GALLEGO: You requested $50m for a Gulfstream jet. Meanwhile, Rs are about to kick 13m off Medicaid. How can you justify that? NOEM: It's to replace a jet that's over 20 years old G: Would you be using it for travel? N: No idea G: We've seen the Instagram photos. Some really bad weapons handling.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

Jessica: When you actually read the transcript of what Trump is talking about, he said oh, Biden's brain is mush, he has stage nine cancer, which is not real, oh, by the way, I just aced a cognitive test.. and we're supposed to believe he is 6'3" and 224 pounds which makes him an NFL wide receiver

DURBIN: How can we give hope to people across the country who are suffering from so many diseases when our government is cutting back on that research? RFK Jr: I do not know about any cuts to ALS research D: I just read them to you! R: I didn't know about them until you told me about them

They are so dumb. So very, very dumb.

This is truly sickening

Call your senators. This bill is heading to them next and they can stop it if the people speak out. (202) 224-3121

I met with Ruth in El Salvador just over a month ago to discuss the abysmal human rights situation there. This news of her likely disappearance is exactly the kind of abuse she warned about. The Bukele regime must release her NOW.

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

They're arresting Members of Congress. Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order. Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.

Class and dignity in everything.

WHY DOES SHE HAVE THE GREATEST ARTISTS OF ALL-TIME & I ONLY GET KID ROCK??? WAAAAAHHH!!!!! 😩

It’s still hard for me to believe that after so many years of deranged posts like this, we’ve still never had a serious national conversation about this man’s mental health.

TEN more robots for Ukraine!!!!!!!!!! Many thanks to all who donated (or are considering doing so). 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 ❤️ you ALL for supporting 🇺🇦! 💙💛 #InItToWinIt

Clause buried in GOP bill would handcuff courts as Trump's legal battles grow www.rawstory.com/trump-restra...

Sen. Chris Murphy to NBC on Democratic opposition to the GOP mega-bill: "What we're standing in the way of is the most massive transfer of wealth from the poor and the middle class to the rich in the history of the country."

I have endured his scurrilous attacks for years. He has sued me for racketeering — and lost. He has unleashed his right-wing army of online trolls. Since his reelection, he has threatened me, defamed me and singled me out by name in two executive orders. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...

Love this from Pedro Pascal at Cannes: "Fear is the way that they win, so keep telling the stories and expressing yourself and fighting. F*ck the people that try to make you scared and fight back. Don’t let them win"

Kamala: we’re going to stop grocery stores from price gouging MAGA: COMMUNISM!!! Trump: Walmart better not raise prices because of the stupid thing I did MAGA: MAGA!!

Prom time

So many layers of corruption.
