This is “healthcare” in the United States. A pharmacy benefit manager randomly decided they just weren’t going to cover this man’s inhaler anymore, so he couldn’t afford it. He died of an asthma attack. Devastating. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

This is both stupid economically and devastating environmentally. Some people seem to just want to watch the world burn. And I suspect that the companies directly affected by it are too scared to sue despite a strong legal claim about its illegality. heatmap.news/energy/doe-c...

Ukraine smuggled drones into Russia by hiding them under wooden mobile cabin roofs, that were later mounted on trucks. At the signal, the roofs opened & dozens of drones launched directly from the trucks, striking strategic bomber aircraft. Well done!💙 #ProudBlue #IStandWithUkraine

Republicans own all of Elon’s cruel cuts - the firing of veterans and public servants across the country - and the Medicaid cuts in their bill that will kick millions of Americans off of their health care. What a terrible message (and harmful policies) heading into the midterms…

Marie Harf nails it: Musk didn’t uncover waste—he fired Veterans, slashed Medicaid, and shut down aid to the world’s most vulnerable. Now China’s stepping in—and Republicans are stuck defending a billionaire with a chainsaw. This is the cost of cowardice.

This is classic SOP for every abuser. “You made me do it”. “It’s your own fault for making me explain people will die regardless of what’s in the Republican budget. You’re just lucky you didn’t make me explain the tooth fairy too.” America needs to walk away from its relationship with Republicans.

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.
