Whoever made this deserves a medal.

Important lawsuit for people who care about free speech & the free press. NPR sues Trump admin over a basic constitutional principle: Congress, not POTUS controls the power of the purse & their fed’l funding www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/b...

By @alejandrabee.bsky.social The House and Senate both voted to loosen regulations on air pollutants like dioxin and mercury, which are associated with higher cancer risk.

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.

Crockett: That’s why they hired everybody from Fox because all they’re trying to do is put on a show.. I want us to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in ICE custody… *Applause* Van Drew: *bangs gavel*

Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

Helping the U.S. gets you banned, being white gets you a welcome mat. Got it.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

Oh. Elon Musk is tagging along with Donald Trump on his trip to Saudi Arabia. Here they are meeting with Crowned Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud. This isn’t normal.

Remember when the story broke about a worm eating part of his brain and nobody was that surprised?

So many layers of corruption.

“The notion that I or any of my colleagues ‘body slammed’ armed federal officers is absurd. DHS is lying because they know their agents were out of line.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

It’s not that they don’t know what the constitution says. They know what it says. Just like they knew what it said when they asked Pence to ignore it. They just don’t care. They believe it can be rewritten by bending it to their will, if enough of them decide to do it.

Dementia is not a joke. It is or at least can be, incredibly painful for all affected. I ask that you remember that most people with dementia do not ALSO have severe & extreme personality disorders like the potus. (Malignant narcissism with sociopathic tendencies. (1/2)

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.

Call them what they are: lies.

The Trump admin just terminated the Ready to Learn grant program that helped bring you Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow, and Clifford the Big Red Dog. We must protect public broadcasting.

This is about all of us. Never forget that.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.

Trump has deported a four-year-old US citizen with a rare form of metastatic cancer without medication or consultation with their doctor.

We need the best educated workforce in the world. We need the best teachers in the world. We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do. No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.
