😡😡😡😡

so the aim is for something like a cross between huffpost and a robocall

wow -- @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com chokes up while talking about how the Trump administration is killing kids who relied on USAID to get life-saving medicine

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.

Please listen to the UN General Secretary.

We are going to be killed by the dumbest people.

It’s a reflection of our values that people who work w/kids make so little in this country. It’s a reflection our LACK of CHRISTIAN values that people who work w/foster and troubled youth make the very least. Now MAGA Republicans slash one of the few things we have to give vulnerable kids a chance.

What a mess

“We’re not in love with the law” is a pretty good motto for this group

A President getting this rich on bribes and corruption should be required to read his daily briefing. We’re sorry it’s boring, but we pay for your golf.

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

The pardon power exists to correct legal errors, not to let reality TV hosts monetize it.

Any politician who says "illegals" are getting Social Security or Medicaid should be required to apply for both and see just how easy it is not.

Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...

HOLD UP. Are you telling us that the President of the United States is refusing regular briefings about threats to the country so his minions are creating a briefing TV show just for him? WHAT THE HELL? www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

To be clear, this shields any research coming out of the NIH from independent peer review, which gives him total control to spread propaganda and makes any NIH study completely untrustworthy.

Kinda impressive that Musk could do so much ketamine and mushrooms and still be such a boring asshole

I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale. Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

Middle America is gonna be stoked when tuition increases at every 4-year public with more than a handful of Chinese students.

The cruelty is intolerable.

More than a thousand people who worked to keep American agriculture free of pests and disease have left the federal workforce in Trump's massive government downsizing. Getting these professionals back when this nightmare is over is going to be horrible, too. www.npr.org/2025/05/30/n...

If you think ‘we’re all going to die’ is a policy position, you have been in Washington too long. The whole point of politics is to save lives and make life better.

I just think there needs to be more attention paid to the uniquely creepy, mendacious, awfulness of Speaker Mike Johnson. Don’t underestimate the depth of his ambition and breadth of what he is willing to do to never return to Shreveport.

Watching Mike Johnson champion a bill that will cut $715 billion from Medicaid, $300 billion from SNAP and perhaps $500 billion from Medicare Lie about it-claiming the programs WOULDN'T be cut And argue the legislation is "moral" Is maybe the most perverse thing I've ever seen a politician do

Linda McMahon wants to bankroll charter schools while starving public ones. That’s not reform. That’s robbery. #HandsOffPublicSchools

New update 🤣💀

“America has always thrived by welcoming the brightest minds from around the world. Shutting the door on Chinese students doesn’t just betray our values — it weakens our leadership in science, technology and innovation.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/u...

A tiny but wild snapshot of the current chaos

Tired: Having the world’s greatest higher education system, luring global elites here to learn our ways & defray costs for American students Wired: ha ha fuck that

God I love the Internet.

Yup.

Economic policy by strong breeze 🐔🌮

Paul Krugman points out that education is a MAJOR US export - and the regime's war on international students is another blow to our economy. #MomSky open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

If you’ve never been woken up at 3am to consult on the least bad treatment option for a pregnant COVID patient in the MICU, your “recommendation” means nothing to me

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
