Millions of people voted to tank the US economy because they believe in the great replacement theory and were terrified they might encounter a trans person in a public restroom. Insane.

STORY —> GOP bill for Trump's agenda would add $2.4 trillion to the debt, budget office says The nonpartisan CBO also found that the House-passed legislation would increase the number of people without health insurance by 10.9 million by 2034. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

After their late-night rush job, some House Republicans regret not reading their OWN bill. Senate Republicans- don’t let yourselves be steamrolled: Find out what’s actually in the 1,037-page Medicaid- & SNAP-slashing GOP Tax Scam 2.0 BEFORE you vote on it!

just a reminder that the dem who ran this campaign unseated a 3x gop incumbent who had never won by less than double digits

its like looking inside stephen miller's closet

Johnson says he called Elon Musk last night, but he didn't answer. "I'm not upset about this, and I just, I think he understands, and he's acknowledged to me before that this is so serious that we can't fool around with it."

It is completely unhinged that the Speaker of the House is calling a private citizen with no official role and no accountability to assist with the passage of legislation—and then complaining when that private citizen is unavailable

I think it upsets me not just because of the implications for popular sovereignty, but also because I can easily imagine how (rightfully) outraged we would be if sensitive budget negotiations had Nancy Pelosi saying she couldn’t do anything until she’d been in touch with Oprah

I don't really care if Elon Musk called Trump's awful bill a "disgusting abomination" (which it is) I DO care that he and Trump destroyed USAID Allegedly causing the deaths of 300,000 people-with 200,000 children among them And then CELEBRATED it

Republicans want to codify Trump’s USAID cuts into law — the same cuts that researchers say have killed 300,000 people in just four months. Absolutely not. Helping to keep the world healthy is in America’s best interests and makes us stronger.

In Simplest fucking terms....someone trying to live their best lives safely, without harassment or threats of violence DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR LIFE AT ALL...you absolute fucking HORRIBLE PIECES OF SHIT.

NEW: In April, 7 abortion providers traveled to Texas. Prior to their trip, they were required to submit a list of abortions they provided in the past year. This wasn't some new Texas law—it was a requirement of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. My first story for @autonomynews.co

This seems important from Jake Sherman

Not counting resolutions disapproving individual federal regulations, the 119th Congress has passed a grand total of *three* laws in its first five months. THREE!! Granted, we might be better off with this Congress sitting on its hands, but that's still a remarkably low (and telling) total.

Is $2.4 TRILLION a lot? 🥸

Trump’s State Dept’s under-secretary for public diplomacy married a Russian national whose uncle has ties to Putin Darren Beattie has already dismantled the office that countered disinformation from Russia and he’s written that he looks forward to the US prestige and power collapsing #ProudBlue

#ProudBlue Trump created a war on judges because he wasn't getting his way 💯 of the time Senate Dems are authoring a bill to transfer control of the U.S. Marshals Services from Trump’s Judiciary to a new special board of judges Apolitical judges with today’s corruption will be hard to find

“It was crazy. I got a call from a sitting legislator offering me a kickback.” A new @nashville_banner piece shows it wasn’t just Casada & Cothren — other reps ran kickback schemes too, including the East TN Hill Brothers. (Tim is still a rep) Full: nashvillebanner.com/2025/06/04/t...

#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue NOT SURE… when this video was taken but, does it really matter? If it was taken a while ago or yesterday, it shows a mental decline. Hey, @jaketapper.bsky.social , why don’t you write about this? History will remember the enablers in the press.

"A shooting incident" is a fascinating way to say "murdered"

“End Wokeness” posted a clip on X of Chicago’s mayor on Sunday, an aggregator site posted that clip, and then MSN reprinted that story and now there’s a DOJ investigation. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

1. The "big beautiful bill" that Republicans advanced late last night is a massive transfer of wealth from the poorest Americans to the richest. The bottom 20% of earners will see their income DECLINE BY 10%. The top 0.1% will get a GIGANTIC WINDFALL.

He thinks we’re stupid and has nothing but contempt for the public.

Did you know that when your local rural hospital shuts down because of the Medicaid cuts, the 75-mile drive to the nearest one that isn't shut down is still 75 miles no matter how good your insurance is?

At 1:34 AM Trump called for DOJ to investigate Kamala Harris, Beyoncé, Springsteen, Oprah and others for crimes, he then made another deranged post about it at 9:11 AM, and the lead story of the day on MSNBC and CNN continues to be Joe Biden in 2023.

#AltCitizens assemble!

They are lying like Trump to promote an image that didn't happen.

It’s not. Which is why a large subset of America has no idea that their medical coverage is in danger… :SIGH:

NEW: Matt Kacsmaryk shouldn't be a judge. He doesn't want to be a judge. He wants to run a right-wing advocacy group. Tonight, at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/matt-kacsm...

If @msnbc is going to have random physicians who have never treated Biden speculating about him, maybe they can find some to speculate about Trump’s apparent medical issues.
