Medicare for All isn't radical. What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Don’t believe me? Listen to what these nurses have say:

A federal judge has now blocked a huge portion of the Trump administration’s plan to cut federal jobs and restructure numerous federal agencies. The order grants an injunction that pauses both further reductions in force and the “reorganization of the executive branch.”

Take all the time you need with this because you’ve got 3½ more years to ponder: If you sat out the 2024 election, you voted against your own interests too— by way of abstention.

Literally not a single congressional district, not a f-ing one, wants Medicaid cut. Not even close! Yet they did it anyway. Some voters need to wake up and realize that they are not being represented by their representatives!

BREAKING: A judge has blocked Trump's executive order attempting to shut down the Department of Education.

Massachusetts decided to tax the rich, and collected $2.6 billion over the last 10 months. That’s $2.6 billion more to spend on transportation and education.

In my experience there are two distinct types of Individuals, 1) Those that refuse to care about an issue until it affects them directly 2) Those that do care regardless of their own privilege and background I wish to only surround myself with the latter. #Empathy

Yesss

They have you busy fighting a gender war to keep you from fighting a class war.

Climate and weather disasters cost $182,700,000,000 just last year alone. And now, the Trump admin announced it will no longer update NOAA's disaster tracking database. It's gone. Right as we enter hurricane season. Good luck America.

BREAKING: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, a large biotech company, is buying 23andMe.

Speaker Mike Johnson on the US credit downgrade: "Moody's is not incorrect, but that emphasizes the very need for the legislation we're talking about -- historic spending cuts." (Part of Moody's concern is in fact the reconciliation bill, which is projected to add trillions to US debt)

Before Pam Bondi was the attorney general for the United States. She earned $115,000 a month working as a lobbyist...for.....Qatar. So maybe we shouldn't be seeking her opinion on what's the bribe.

DOGE & USDA are demanding unprecedented access to sensitive info about SNAP beneficiaries. The demands are likely *illegal* and could expose compliant states & their vendors to liability. Read our letter w/@epic.org + @cendemtech.bsky.social explaining this unlawful data grab. protdem.org/usdadoge

"Fictional comic supervillain Lex Luther once became President and was given a $200 million dollar luxury jet as a bribe. In the story, he was arrested by Metropolis police and imprisoned for 25 years. American justice is the real fiction." - Pete Buttigieg

This is bleak reading

Water is vital to our lives, and a MASSIVE 89% CUT to the program that makes sure we can get it when we need it is at risk. The president’s FY26 budget will strip $2.4B from Clean & Drinking Water State Revolving Funds, the main source of federal dollars keeping your family’s water clean & running.

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

Speak Truth to Power...

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV calls for peace in Ukraine, a ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza in his first Sunday noon appeal.

The U.S.A. is becoming the laughing stock of the free world - We Ban Books, Close Libraries, Delete History, Deport Immigrants, Cancel Medical and Food Assistance, Close Down Medical Research, Close Down Research, Sue The Free Press; and Now We Nominate a NONPHYSICIAN To Be the Surgeon General!

Layoffs of disabled workers across the federal government are raising questions about its commitment to inclusion.

Not only are they ignoring climate change—they’re trying to cover up the cost. Shutting down NOAA’s disaster tracking so we can’t see the BILLIONS it’s costing us? This ain’t solving the crisis—it’s hiding it.

A) All gender bathrooms are in 99.9% of every home in America. B) Single occupant public bathrooms are increasingly used in public bldgs. And most people prefer the privacy. #NancyMaceInspectorGentila

In our first 2025 #DangerSeason post, Dr. Juan Declet-Barreto examines how President Trump’s proposed cuts, particularly to NOAA & NWS, are undermining extreme weather science and weakening the US’s ability to stay safe in a world made more dangerous by continued fossil fuel use & climate change.

Public education is a right, not a privilege. Private education is a privilege, not a right. Fund public schools.

A bill that would require tech giants like Google and Facebook to compensate newsrooms for the local journalism on their platforms is advancing in Oregon. Meta is already threatening to ban Oregon news on its platforms if the bill becomes law. www.opb.org/article/2025...

After a 6 month legal saga, a federal judge has affirmed Justice Allison Riggs’ victory in a tight election for one of North Carolina’s Supreme Court seats.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

Aetna announced it plans to exit the health insurance exchange in 17 states. 1 million people could lose their health coverage. “This decision is... to focus the company’s portfolio,” Aetna’s parent company CVS said. CVS' revenue was up 7% last quarter.
