WATCH: “What are you afraid of, Andy?!” Rep. Andy Ogles refuses to hold a town hall, is instead co-opting Memorial Day for a closed-door presser inside a CLOSED CAPITOL today with ICE, pushing his anti-immigrant agenda alongside Jack Johnson, Bulso + other Republicans 🇺🇸 Meanwhile, outside:

GUARDIAN BOARD warns against falling into a debt fearmongering trap: “Republicans understand what Dems still don’t: deficits aren’t the danger. It’s what you do with them that matters.” Deficits help the rich: bad Deficits help regular folks: good www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Russian strikes are becoming more and more audacious and large-scale every night. 900 strike drones against Ukraine in three days, plus missiles - this makes no military sense, but it is a clear political choice - Putin's choice - the choice to continue fighting and destroying lives.

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE UP TO DATE ON YOUR VACCINATIONS NOW.

#Republicans have included $300 MILLION in the budget for......Trump's golf trips. You heard that right. But there is no money to feed hungry kids school lunch. #GOPTaxScam

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

I missed this until @hcrichardson.bsky.social latest alerted me to provocateur Charlie Kirk's Turning Point #ProfessorWatchlist. W/O proof, it highlights uni profs discriminating agst conservative students, fostering anti-American values & advancing leftist propaganda. billmoyers.com/story/the-wa...

Members of the military who oppose fascism, Please keep this phone number where you can find it.

Approved by Congress in 2022, the plaque honoring law enforcement personnel for defending the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, can’t be installed until House Republican leadership gives the go-ahead.

The political world needs to pause, reassess, and come to terms with the simple fact that there are no actual Republican moderates on Capitol Hill. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

This is a really excellent overview of the GOP's recent budget proposal bill with compelling visuals that show us the current administration's economic vision for the US: "You pay more for less." Thank you, @gelliottmorris.com www.gelliottmorris.com/p/republican...

Remember this: #Democrats offered multiple amendments to the #GOPTaxScam, which would've blocked tax cuts to multi-millionaires and billionaires at the expense of workers and the middle class. Republicans rejected each amendment.

Whistleblower details how DOGE may have taken sensitive NLRB data. I don’t know who’s reading out there but if you are, this is a fascinating story about how DOGE is operating in our nations IT systems. It deserves more attention than it’s getting. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

This irreversable action can not happen! Please call your congress representatives. youtube.com/shorts/W7nu-...

Indeed.

Pop quiz: What are the American people paying closer attention to right now?   1)  Former President Joe Biden’s stage four prostate cancer diagnosis  2)  Trump’s gutting of cancer research (Hint: It's not #2) Jeff Nesbit reports on the story worth your attention.

This is nothing to celebrate. The House budget bill includes the largest Medicaid cuts in history and failed to extend enhanced ACA tax credits — forcing millions to lose coverage and pay more for care. It’s a direct hit on people who need health care most. #HandsOffMedicaid

Honestly, where is there anything supportive of American values in this piece of trash that was passed through the house? They should be ashamed to fly the American flag or have it on their lapel. American in name only.

Trump administration ends Harvard's ability to enrol international students, a move the university calls "unlawful"

If they can’t control it, they want to destroy it. Because they’re fascist criminals.

-$1.5T in new tax cuts predominantly for the rich -$700B in Medicaid cuts -$500B in Medicare cuts -$300B in SNAP cuts -Leasing public lands to Big Oil -Ending IRS Direct File -Ending clean energy tax credits -Banning AI regulation in the states The oligarchy's wish list.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

@warren.senate.gov: "They're fighting over how many children should go hungry so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island."

This is from The Atlantic. This is exactly how Democrats should message Trump‘s bill. 👇🏻

Cuts to lifelines to provide tax cuts to those making over $500,000. Basically an entitlement scheme for the rich who honestly contribute nothing to this country. Trickle down has never worked!!!

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

The ICE detention center trespassing charges against Newark Mayor Ras Baraka were officially dropped this afternoon during a hearing in which a federal judge scolded prosecutors for nearly 10 minutes. Story: newjerseyglobe.com/judiciary/ju...

The GOP's tax scam is a BILLIONAIRE BAILOUT, plain and simple. They're taking money from working families to give to their wealthy donors. Who's getting screwed? YOU ARE. Take action now! A floor vote is expected in the next 24 hours. #StopTheBillionaireBailout

Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-New Mexico) tries to get Republican witnesses to read their own bill. They refuse. Then she reads it out loud: Repeals an excise tax on tanning beds.

This is what happens when religious nutwings run your country.

🔥 @RepMcGovern: “THIS IS NOT POLICY. THIS IS THEFT… done under the cover of night.” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

There is nothing the GOP won't lie about.

"You read books, eh?" A 1949 red scare Herblock cartoon about pressures on teachers that hits hard once again.

I’m only surprised it took this long under this administration!

Crockett: Right now, it seems like you don’t care about the constitution unless it’s the second amendment and that’s misinterpreted as well. There’s other amendments.. And we don’t get to just change it because our fearless leader says that he doesn’t like it
