They wanted to pass this evil budget to take away healthcare from millions earlier today. It’s still stuck in the rules committee cause House Dems introduced over 500 amendments and we are lined up to debate on them. Delaying is important. Keep up the pressure on these Congressional Republicans.

Senate Republicans are set to go nuclear today, blowing up the filibuster to repeal California’s vehicle emissions standards—after spending YEARS promising to preserve the filibuster once they retook the chamber. slate.com/news-and-pol...

And my favorite fact: XXY is so broad in how it presents that they suspect that 75% of people who are XXY have NO CLUE! they are healthy, living their lives without knowing that they are super special, genetically. The range of characteristics varies wildly.

I’ve got breaking news from sources in the Pentagon. Hegseth has invited what appears to be the entire Pentagon workforce to a Christian prayer and worship service in the official Pentagon auditorium during duty hours in violation of the First Amendment and military regulations. I have the story.

BREAKING: In a shocking result, Democrat Sam Sutton just flipped NY Senate District 22. Trump won the district by 50+ points in November. People are furious with Trump – and it's showing.

In a truly tectonic Overton Window shift, the California Assembly just voted 63-0 to advance #AB609, a major new bill by Buffy Wicks to create a statutory exemption from CEQA for environmentally friendly infill housing. Fantastic news for both housing and the environment!

We’re literally in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in 🇺🇸 history, & the @nytimes.com & every other major media outlet has decided this is the main news story. It would be shocking, if it weren’t so sadly predictable & utterly pathetic.

If there's anyone at the New York Times who wants to actually cover politics, there's apparently an entirely new presidential administration in power now and it sounds like they're doing some crazy shit that might actually matter, unlike whatever the fuck this is?

The media wasn’t shy about spotlighting Joe Biden’s decline during the final two years of his presidency. So why the cowardice now about discussing the obvious decline of Donald Trump? That failure combines with the media’s normalization of his abnormal official and unofficial behavior.

👇🎯 Folks really want to believe that structural things aren’t structural & that magical 🦄 existed. I get it.

Just gonna put out there that Trump almost died from Covid but not only did we not hear about it at the time, it was treated like a non-story by the administration. So calm the fuck down with your "they hid Biden's cancer" hot takes.

Rand Paul: "Tariffs are taxes & when you put tax on a business it's always passed through as a cost, so there will be higher prices. There's an economic fallacy that trade deficits mean anything. They're artificial accounting. The only trade that means anything is the individual who buys something"

Wait. So the people who were just fine with Sarah Palin putting a literal gun target on the district of Gabby Giffords prior to her tragic shooting are now hurt over a private citizen using the term “86” in seashells? Did I bump MY head?

What does it mean if: ~90% of US automaker profits come from domestic sales, ~90% of domestic profits come from trucks & SUVs, ~90% of US truck & SUV buyers don't need a truck or SUV. To me it means they're financially beholden to selling a lifestyle, not utilitarian machines.

It’s wild how corporate America backed Trump big and small, thinking he’d be some grand era of deregulation and profit-making, and instead all of his actions have been “you should make LESS profit to avoid damaging me politically and avoid being honest with your customers”!

Today Trump's main legislative initiative died *in committee*, his main domestic policy initiative was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, & his economic shenanigans got the whole country's credit downgraded. Let's talk about what's important: Biden Old

I used to think it was condescending to say people vote against their interests. But now medical clinics are closing, prices are up from tariffs, and USA’s credit rating is wrecked. If you voted for this, you helped make life worse for yourself and almost everyone else except a few billionaires.

I don't know what this means, but I'm the one who wrote a fully updated, 624-page hurricane response plan at FEMA that took over 2 years of work and careful coordination among state and federal agencies. He could start by studying that.

Thank god for Jake Tapper exposing Biden’s staff for hiding his age. I had no idea that Biden was old. Now that we know the truth, we can keep blaming everyone other than ourselves for Trump’s victory.

Worth repeating that this woman AGREED TO LEAVE THE UNITED STATES. She said she would go back to Europe, where she held a valid visa that would allow her to temporarily stay. She just didn't want to go back to Russia, where she feared returning bc of her past persecution for political activities.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.
