Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is Project 2025 in legislative form. Here’s how it quietly turns a far-right wishlist into federal law: - Sec. 10008 - Expands work requirements for SNAP - Project 2025: Pushes “moral reform” to make low-income people work more for food assistance.

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.

Rosen to Rubio: "I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration's destruction of US global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. And I wonder if your proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family ... I know you know this in your heart."

Trump and Musk set out to put dedicated federal workers ‘in trauma’ — and that’s exactly what they’ve done. And tormented federal workers aren’t the only victims. The American people who no longer benefit from their public service suffer too. Shameful.

So much for the Golden Age... "Trump’s second term will be the worst presidential term ever..." "Tragically, [his] second term is already more lawless and more authoritarian than any in US history." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🚨 💉The FDA will no longer approve COVID vaccines for people 6mo–64yrs who don't have a risk factor for severe COVID-19. People 65 years and older and those under 65 with risk factors can still get vaccinated. There's so much to unpack here. See a few thoughts below 👇

Holding a hearing at 1:00 AM? What is it? They’re hiding? Good opportunity for us to all set our alarms and get up for a little midnight popcorn & airing of the truth.

Baldwin to RFK Jr: "Is funding for Alzheimer's research centers DEI? Because you're holding up $65m for 14 of those centers in 9 states, including UW Madison. Is funding for cancer centers DEI? Because you're holding up $47m in cancer center support grants at 9 cancer centers in 8 states."

So Trump warns Republicans to stay away from Medicaid cuts? There is no way for him to get where he wants to go without them. What am I missing? Is he just trying to give himself cover?

So interesting that South Africa is changing their laws to allow Starlink to operate… right at the time they need to curry favor with Elon and Trump. Elon is making a killing off his access to this administration.

If you're trying to build muscle, getting enough protein is a must. But does it matter if that protein comes from meat or plants? A new study overturns assumptions.

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.

Get ready for the most epic period of gaslighting in American history As MAGA Republicans try to convince us that destroying Medicaid so Trump can give billionaires another tax break is good for the country Even as it takes healthcare away from millions of US citizens-including 36.5 million kids

Two news stories. A black Congresswoman enters an ICE facility & is charged- no evidence of violence. A white woman enters the Capitol and busts things up & is killed while trespassing. Her family gets $5 million. This Administration is doing it in broad daylight. #Racism #Facism #Resist

Trump ran on lowering costs for everyday Americans. Now, Walmart says they’ll have to raise prices in response to his chaotic tariffs and consumer sentiment is plummeting. More retailers are sure to follow suit. Is this the "New Golden Age" he promised?

We want to call out a blatant lie spread by Elon Musk. Under his leadership, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) claimed that 40% of calls to the Social Security Administration (SSA) were fraudulent. That’s been thoroughly debunked. An internal review of over 110,000

A federal judge in D.C. just ruled that the Trump administration overstepped its authority by dismantling the U.S. Institute of Peace an independent, congressionally chartered nonprofit. Huge thanks to U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell for upholding the law.

As many know, the Trump administration is… well, fill in the blank. Let’s debunk a few wild claims making the rounds in MAGA circles. First, the idea that Jill Biden should “know better” because she’s a doctor, she holds a doctorate in education, not medicine.

Lmao 😂 Trump is so hurt about Bruce Springsteen that he’s now calling for a “major investigation” into him along with Beyoncé, Oprah, and Bono. His retribution tour has officially reached the music industry.
