The Senate's version of Trump's big, ugly bill enacts even stricter Medicaid work requirements. Make no mistake: Medicaid work requirements don't put people to work. They kick people off their health coverage — all to fund tax cuts for the rich. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzMq...

Trump's Big Ugly Bill is a regressive nightmare, raising incomes for the top 10 percent of earners and slashing them for the poorest people in the country. It's also opposed by a majority of Americans. Remember this as Trump constantly tries to shift the public's focus.

“Running the government like a business” is just another way of saying that we should privatize government services afforded to everyone. You know who would love that? Wall Street and big corporations. Don’t buy into the myth. https://youtu.be/hqn1uD_B70U?si=aClsRAYTJHYGXpB4

Rewording my earlier post. RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress. I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good. If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?

It pisses me right off that Taco McDoucheBag is being allowed into Canada for the G7. Why is it necessary, they can look at his ugly face and listen to his obnoxious voice on a computer screen. No one wants to be around him in person, he’s always got shit in his diaper and stinks up the room.🙄

As you watch ICE terrorize Los Angeles, remember: private prison companies are going to get very, very rich off Trump's cruelty.

Hey @CBC you should stop using ALL lobbyists as panel pundits. They always have self interests that they push. Thinking of this often, but pretty appalled just now by Moe Sihota on the Early Edition. #Vancouver #CBC

The @ec.europa.eu fully supports the ICC and its officials. The ICC holds perpetrators of the world’s gravest crimes to account and gives victims a voice. It must be free to act without pressure. We will always stand for global justice and the respect of international law.

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in Supreme Court history. It's allowed billionaires to completely take over our politics and destroy our democracy. There are days when we are reminded just how pernicious that ruling was. Today is one of those days.

We must sustain the ocean that sustains us. Climate change, pollution, overexploitation, and geopolitical tensions continue to pose a threat to our ocean, and we need to step up efforts to protect it. A unified approach is essential for success. 🧵1/3

Alex Hemingway: Under threat from a volatile United States, Canada needs to chart its own path to a more self-reliant, just and equitable economy. We can’t afford austerity or cuts. Or to let the super-rich call the shots on economic and social policy. #uspoli #cdnpoli

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣 Good to know. (you know what to do!) 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮

🇨🇳❗️🇺🇦 Zelensky: China has stopped selling Mavic drones to Ukraine and other European countries, but continues to supply to Russia. There are also production lines in Russia, with Chinese representatives. And when someone asks whether China is helping Russia, how should we evaluate these steps?

Say no to the golden handcuffs. This is a multibillion scam that will force Canada further into the military "protection" of the authoritarian regime in Washington. It is about making us a vassal state. We need to put the protection of our interests as top priority for military investments.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

Every independent analysis is clear: the budget bill passed early this morning by the House GOP will gut essential programs like Medicaid and SNAP for working Americans, and make the ultra-wealthy richer. We must do everything we can stop this bill in the Senate.

This is the weaponization of government—full stop. If you speak out against them—or in this case do your job—they will come for you. What we’re seeing with @replamonica.bsky.social is a political stunt, and we won’t stand for it.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.
