BREAKING: Dr. Oz says if you lost your healthcare thanks to Trump’s budget, you should “prove you matter.” Sick people don’t need motivation. They need coverage. This is what happens when TV doctors play politics.

“Finding food, shelter, a safe bed, & even some recognition for genderqueer kids was a lifelong passion for Sylvia. She saw them as society’s most vulnerable outcasts. She picketed & protested, caucused & cajoled, & if the occasion called for it, which it often did, she submitted to arrest.” #Pride

What state has the most Republicans? California. What state has the second most Democrats? Texas. The Red State/Blue State dichotomy does a lot more to "other" than it does to inform.

It happens every few generations: It’s what drove Confederate oligarchs to attempt succession in the 1860s; robber barons to murder union organizers at the turn of the 20th century; and it’s why wages have stagnated since the Reagan revolution. The rise of greedy oligarchs. https://trib.al/8h7BsDK

An immigration lawyer who tried to stave off ICE disappearances in Lower Manhattan last week spoke to Hell Gate about the trap that's being set for immigrants. "This is so extreme, from both a legal perspective and one's conscience," she told Hell Gate. hellgatenyc.com/immigration-...

NEW: We obtained DHS data that shows the US knew only 32 of the 238 Venezuelans deported to a prison in El Salvador in March were convicted of US crimes, only 6 of those violent. Trump called them “savages,” “monsters” and "the worst of the worst.” www.propublica.org/article/trum...

People who say that the United States can’t build anything anymore must not be sports fans. Barely a year goes by without the debut of a sparkling new stadium or arena, often in the very cities where it’s most difficult to build almost anything else.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

“‘Because I’m for freedom. Americans are losing more of our freedom to decide how we live our own lives,’ read one line. ‘Because I’m for you and me — not the government — deciding what care we need and where we can go to get it,’ read another.”

I say without any irony or sarcasm: yes, thank you, we want parliamentary sabotage. Again, I'm 100% serious. It's one of the few things a minority party can do, and which Republicans themselves did. It's essential.

The current budget bill is an atrocity and out-of-touch leaders like Chuck Schumer laid the groundwork by voting for the CR. Appeasement and complicity do not work. When you bend the knee, they’ll break your leg.

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.

Proactively forcing a media cycle about Joe Biden at all in May 2025 when he will never hold office again while people are experiencing any number of horrors is not only obsession but it’s also doing fascists’ work for them.
