And you believe that American workers will accept the salaries that are paid to workers and overseas? And you think there won’t be tariffs on all of the materials/parts that go into those phones? Gee, it’s a wonder Tim Cook hasn’t hired you to run the company. 🙄

just another Yam Tits leaving those in need to die...

🔥 WATCH: @jessicatarlov.bsky.social on the Trump administration’s overreach into Harvard and other campuses, stripping Visas under the guise of fighting antisemitism

Guess those Who now must fill a work requirement for Medicaid can sign up to milk cows or seniors whose retirements have been financially murdered by Trump can sign up to milk their cows. Trump voters act surprised about all this.

Time for this good ole auctioneer to hit the bricks. Don’t let him near the #IRS.

Life is tough in DC, Jeanine. Put on your big girl britches and suck it up.

Cue big applause for #Greenland!

Democrats in Congress: Investigate and expose why ICE is allowed to operate in masks and conceal their identities. There is no acceptable scenario where this should be permitted. @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems

“A construction worker in south Alabama says he was forcibly detained Wednesday by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who claimed his proof of U.S. citizenship was fake.” www.al.com/news/mobile/...

Thoughts and prayers. Thought there are tons of folks wanting all these jobs? Is that not true? Oh, Trump lied? Surprise, surprise, surprise.

More frickin’ waste.

Of course they backed the bill. Has any one of them explained to their constituents why this will “benefit” them? Of course not. #RepublicansHateAmerica

Are we great yet?

So we’ve got $90 million to throw the parade he wanted, but we don’t have the money to fix North Carolina. Got it!

This week, Rick's Elephant in the Room is Trump's mental decline. On a strict diet of Big Macs and Adderall, Trump's last "cognition test" -- 'Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.' -- seems to be a high point for our drooling Dear Leader. Watch now: youtu.be/mAQMDPa_tK0?...

What’s the over under that Florida goes bankrupt trying to recover from hurricane season? Remember, he denied help to Arkansas so this shouldn’t be a surprise.

Exactly when did it become a rule that a president tells a private company what they can produce and where? Trump knows as much about economics and production as a pig in a mud puddle. #TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

The trump/GOP cabal is a continuous national security disaster. SignalGate is just the VISIBLE tip of the iceberg, and like all icebergs, most of it is hidden from view. Rubio has the title for MULTIPLE time-consuming jobs, which means none of them are done well! #USDemocracy youtu.be/4ZdzprdZEgw

Schneider: Many of the areas they represent have the highest need for support from Medicaid, and many families in those districts rely on SNAP.. But what we’re seeing is Republicans in Congress aren’t representing their districts—they’re kowtowing to Trump.

Finished The Ministry of Time last weekend and made myself complete it. Was unimpressed.

Fernández: He refused to read the bill he wrote. They are so ashamed of it, they couldn’t even read it aloud—because they know it’s shameful to give tax breaks to tanning beds and take away hospital beds. Who likes tanning beds? There’s a certain personality who has a very orange hue about him.

Takano: This bill will hurt veterans. 1.5 million veterans get their healthcare through Medicaid. They are slashing programs to try to pay for these tax cuts—except they’re not actually paying for them. It’s going to create additional deficits, which means all of the cuts are only a partial payment.

Do whatever it takes so that wealthy whites folks won’t have to acknowledge their existence. Gonna be interesting to see how Rs explain this as they run for re-election.

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

Who could've guessed joining a make-believe Resistance against an Evil Empire would ever happen in real life?

Is anyone surprised? Putin has no intention of stopping his invasion.

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

Garcia to Noem: "Can you commit to just letting his mother know mother to mother if Andry is alive? He was given an asylum appointment by the United States government." (Noem wouldn't commit to it.)

Bruce Springsteen Calls Donald Trump ‘Incompetent, and Treasonous’ at 2025 Tour Kickoff

🔥 DAMN! — @benniegthompson to @kristinoem: “I’m glad you found time among your many photo ops and costume changes to testify.”

Mike Johnson: “The reason many people refer to the Bidens as the 'Biden crime family' is because they were doing all this stuff behind curtains...Whatever President Trump is doing is out in the open” Out-in-the-open corruption is still corruption.

𝔗𝔯𝔲𝔱𝔥 𝔐𝔞𝔱𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔰 @politicsusa46.bsky.social Take a listen to this important message from #TimothySnyder, author and historian who wrote the book ‘On Tyranny’ which I would highly recommend EVERY #AMERICAN should read. @TimothyDSnyder 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNdMtqa7o/

(Whistles the intro to The Stranger by Billy Joel inside of an empty cathedral.) 😎Basically.

He is totally correct. Israel is starving babies and children to death. Is this what the Torah preaches? Is this supported by Jews worldwide?

Suozzi: They’re claiming the cuts will pay for themselves. But they won’t. And how do we know that? Because Republicans are putting an increase in the debt ceiling into this bill—allowing the president to borrow $4 trillion.

If he is released due to pardon, he will have a job in the administration.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

Bill Gates pledged to give an additional $200 billion to charity during the next 20 years- effectively spending down his personal fortune. Of Elon Musk, Gates said “The picture of the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children is not a pretty one,”

Isnt health data private? Why is a database needed? What exactly does this damn fool plan to,do with the data?

Senator Dave McCormick is a fucking disgrace who wants public broadcasting to be the voice of Republican racism and bias. - Response to our Message on Government Funding for Public Broadcasting #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 youtu.be/s-6KKi52Zqo?si… via @YouTube
