Good job, America.

And Jesus said, “Take away their healthcare in the interests of righteousness “ .

Exciting news for Colorado students & educators! I just signed new laws that boost classroom funding, including $412 more per student with a bipartisan school finance formula—the first major update in 30 years! Let's ensure every student has the resources to thrive!

Russia kidnapped Hanna at 21, held her for years—and now it’s locking her up for a decade. 🧵1/8⬇️

It doesn't get reiterated enough that "human on a bicycle" is not only the most efficient way that a person can move, it's the most efficient form of motion ***ever observed in land animals***.

What exactly did House Republicans just vote for? -14 million Americans to lose their health care -18 million kids to lose their free school meals -5.4 million people to lose food assistance It’s not about waste or fraud or abuse. It’s about a bigger tax cut for the rich.

NEW: "Whether or not HB 1205 survives legal scrutiny, the message for Florida voters is unmistakable. When citizen power becomes too effective, the Republican-led state will try to find a way to shut it down." www.democracydocket.com/analysis/gop...

This nails it.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: The Facebook account Trump shared with South Africa's president as "proof" of a genocide against white South Africans belonged to a fringe account that frequently posts racist imagery and pushes flat Earth conspiracies.

Wannabe dictator acting like a dictator.

Leavitt: "Secretary of State Marco Rubio has revoked thousands of students visas from campuses where these pro-Palestini-- pro-Hamas terrorists ... "

He’s not gonna like this.

One reason I don't think it's useful to argue about the correct tactics for Democrats to win elections is winning elections isn't enough. They've won the presidency 5 out of 9 times since 1992 and where are we now. The question is how we create something better than a dead cat bounce party

Just fyi… when the Democrats passed their healthcare bill in the middle of the night it sparked the tea party. GOP is toast for this… IF the Dems can get their crap together

The current budget bill is an atrocity and out-of-touch leaders like Chuck Schumer laid the groundwork by voting for the CR. Appeasement and complicity do not work. When you bend the knee, they’ll break your leg.

When you say something 100% true that people don’t want to hear, because it makes them feel ashamed for the evil things they have done and will continue to do, instead of changing their mind they just get really, really angry at you for saying the truth. This is why everything is so fucked up.

South Africa’s murder rate for white farmers was 54.5 per 100,000 in 2023, lower than the national average of 78 per 100,000. Doesn’t sound like “white genocide” to me.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump has taken possession of his bribe, in contravention of federal criminal statute and the Constitution. He’s hiding behind the USAF and DOJ to intimidate Congress—which must initiate impeachment proceedings. Bribery is one of two enumerated impeachable offenses. Much more here:

Thou shalt not talk about BribeJet or pictures of seashells or criticize his morality or call his mental condition into question or else he will get really really angry and post an ALL CAPS LIE on LieSocial and then sue you and eventually lose. So you know, oh no.

Q: VIETNAM wants tariffs dropped. So what does Trump get? A: A golf course for his family, and Starlink access: TLDR: The Trump family is looting 🇺🇸 foreign policy. (Hey @NBCNews @Reuters — saying these negotiations are “separate” is deeply unserious) www.nbcnews.com/world/asia/t...

It’s now hour 15 of the Rules Committee hearing and we’ve had enough of Republicans’ “magic math.” So, let me put this plainly — the Republican budget will increase the national deficit by trillions of dollars. Period.

The president of the United States has spent more time attacking Bruce Springsteen than addressing the fact that 771,480 men, women, and children were counted as homeless last year.

No one should hold public office without passing a basic civics test. Period.

The GOP budget bill is 1,116 pages long but it boils down to this one simple fact: Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people. It's Robin Hood in reverse.

we need a Democratic party for the left

the belief that it’s inevitable that as the youth gets older, the more left the country will swing needs to be thrown out. the kids will not “save us” if the kids aren’t welcome in the party that is supposedly on their side! the party needs to completely embrace the populist left

CLEVELAND, TN: “A senior at Tennessee Christian Prep is suing her own high school, saying they suspended her from school and are withholding her diploma all because she posted on social media that she was gay.” WSMV: www.instagram.com/reel/DJ7Megu...

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

So true!

Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, does not know what Habeas Corpus is. Dwell on this fact.

Brilliant idea! Next they’ll invent seatbelts and call them “freedom straps.”

He'd never do it but Ken would probably be the best president you could dream up. You want rank meritocracy based on test scores, then here you go. The Debate Me guys sure would shut the fuck up right quick.

House Republicans don’t want you to watch their 1:00 AM hearing to kick millions of Americans off their health insurance and rip away food and basic nutrition from millions of kids and seniors. Defy the billionaires and watch anyway:
