Trump without Trump - An edit of Trump's press conference with Elon Musk. You won't have to listen to his voice or see his face. It's a highlight reel of sorts.

An absolutely killer column from David Brooks today. In the old days, this would be one to post on your fridge. If you are a political junkie, it's essential to recognize that if you read some columnists for decades, some will get worse and some much better. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/o...

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Joni Ernst is a POS: "Illegals" don't get Medicaid benefits. Medicaid is not money mailed to people. Medicaid PAYS health bills. My mom's memory care was paid for by Medicaid. And it's HARD as HELL to qualify. Undocumented people sometimes pay IN thru taxes. They do NOT get friggin' benefits. Bitch.

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?

Joni Ernst on Medicaid cuts: “we all are going to die” JD Vance on school shootings: they are a “fact of life” Donald Trump on toys for children: two dolls are enough And Trump after a school shooting: “…get over it, we have to move forward” These people are incapable of governing. Or humaning.

I condemn the Department of Labor’s decision to shut down Jobs Corps centers, including those in Monroe and Marion. These programs are a lifeline for young people in need—giving them direction and skills and helping them enter the workforce. This is not progress.

While Trump’s cronies gut public education, Sen. Elizabeth Warren is demanding answers—and they’re running scared. Linda McMahon bailed on the Senate forum. Why? Because they know this agenda is indefensible. We see you. We won’t back down. Hands Off Public Schools

Hands Off Public Schools! Public schools are the heart of our communities — where every child deserves a safe, well-funded, and honest education. Donald Trump is trying to take that away from hard working families with his Big Ugly Bill. This is NOT OK!

Republicans’ response to Americans kicked off health care and forced to go hungry and people dying because of THEIR bill — “Well, we all are going to die”. While they’re fine with YOU dying — they want to make sure billionaires can buy another plane, or yacht, or mansion. x.com/cspan/status...

Spare me the fake outrage. None of these people showing up for court are criminals of any kind. As a prosecutor, I worked with many ICE officers who arrested violent criminals. None of them wore masks. Many of your agents are clearly ashamed to carry out your orders.

Our grant was pulled before review at the NIH because we used the words “women’s health.” We want to understand how menopause makes the brain more vulnerable to #Alzheimer. 2/3 of those diagnosed are women. All my background and past research are no longer interesting to the U.S.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

Let me save the New York Times and reporter Annie Karni a lot of time and energy: MAGA is a cult. Like any cult, they demand 100% obedience. There is no room for dissent, differences of opinion or even questions.

Phang: If you have to resort to deceit to get something done, that tells me what you’re doing is wrong. What’s happening is a dup-and-scoop: people are being duped into going to court, their cases get dismissed, and then they’re scooped up by ICE and deported under expedited removal.

No person with a disability who needs a home health aide should have to give that up so Jeff Bezos can buy a third yacht. But that’s the GOP agenda right now. Slash Medicaid to reward the ultra-rich.

Really? Congress votes on bills without even reading them? Our coalition read and broke it down. Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) admitted he voted for Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill without realizing it weakened federal judges’ power to hold officials in contempt.
