Normal stuff.

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

Against all odds, Joni Ernst has made it worse

PSA: One of those anecdotal data points that might be useful to know—more than a quarter of my mom's ward at her nursing home has contracted Covid in the last 10 days or so.

Trump’s tax gift to the 1% would also include provisions to: -Make it harder for judges to hold the government in contempt -No regulations on AI -Cheaper gun silencers -Cuts to Medicare and Medicaid This is some of what the GOP is hiding. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/ADcXjRrQOR3i...

Cuts to HHS agencies such as CDC, FDA, and NIH have impacts beyond terminated employees. The cuts are eroding and will continue to erode state and local health programs. We appreciate news coverage from @apnews.com for shining a light on this.

Opus Dei has a nerve center in DC, including blocks from the White House. "The organization has been increasingly active in Washington since at least the early 1990s when it set up shop at 15th and K — the heart of the capital lobbying industry."

SPACENEWS: NASA budget would cancel dozens of science missions, lay off thousands (But sets aside nearly $2 billion effectively earmarked for SpaceX) spacenews.com/nasa-budget-...

This is a perfect way to put it so people understand it in simple terms. Especially since Repubs just don’t get it.

President Trump said on Friday that he would double the tariffs he had levied on foreign steel, increasing them to 50%.

For President Trump: it’s no billionaire left behind—and good luck to everyone else. Trump’s budget proposal would hurt working people and our economy—and it’s dead on arrival in Congress as long as I have anything to say about it. My full statement ⬇️

There are 7,591 words in the U.S. Constitution. Not one is "bible", "Jesus", "Judeo", "Christian" or "God". Separation of church and state guarantees ALL Americans the right to practice ANY religion. Or none. Which part of "religious freedom" is not as clear as a church bell?

🚨Trump is massively expanding Palantir’s role across federal agencies—pooling sensitive data from DHS, HHS, and the IRS into one centralized system.   Here’s why that matters. 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/t...

This was today… Sotally tober… NYT clearly way off base…

"Better Babies" promised a stronger race. "Make America Healthy Again" promises a healthier nation. Different language, same targets. Still about who survives—and who doesn’t. open.substack.com/pub/noelleco...

The corruption here is staggering #Cryptogate

So it turns out that Elon Musk is 5X the sex-crazed, drug-addled freak that Republicans claimed Hunter Biden was...and whereas Hunter played no role in his dad's administration, Musk was basically running much of the country for the past 4 months. Lovely.

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

🔥SAN DIEGO IMMIGRATION COURTHOUSE: ICE AGENTS IN THE HALLWAY TODAY 5/29 ARE *COWARDS* AND MUST BE ASHAMED OF THEIR BEHAVIOR, AS THEY ARE COVERING UP THEIR NAMES THAT APPEAR AT THE TOP OF THEIR SHIRT POCKETS BY INSERTING A PEN TO KEEP THE FLAP UP🔥‼️

Elon's legacy ranges from gutting cancer research to setting in motion millions of deaths from starvation or disease. I'll be pushing for Congress to hold Elon & DOGE accountable—for every act of corruption, every disastrous consequence, and every law they have broken.

Doctors, who rely on a contraception team's guidance at the CDC, will no longer have access to the team's updated critical research. My latest discusses the shocking and deadly impact of leaving doctors and women without any new, credible data. shero.substack.com/p/cdc-cuts-o...
