Rump is a complete moron wrapped in an idiot! 🤬

Absolutely bonkers — Joni Ernst doubles down on her “we are all gonna die” defense of Medicaid cuts while walking through a cemetery

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics.  Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

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

The Trump administration’s billion-dollar cuts to the National Institutes of Health include a $2.7 billion blow to the National Cancer Institute slashing more than a third of its funding. “For the past 50 years, every significant medical breakthrough, especially in the treatment of cancer,

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035.  Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

Americans work more hours, take less vacation, work longer days, & retire later. But hey, at least we're not stuck with socialized health care.

But they’re not Nazis. Or racists. Or bigots. Or misogynists.

Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

While giving tax breaks to billionaires.

Are we great yet?

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court STRIKES DOWN Trump executive order targeting law firm Jenner & Block. Another victory for law firms standing up to Trump.

"You said there were no cuts to scientists, and then the HHS spox said, 'Actually, there were cuts to scientists and now we're trying to rehire them.' It gives the impression you're not sure about personnel actions in own agency." -- Jon Ossoff just dismantled FDA Commissioner Makary

I ask that question every single day! 🤬

Chairman Mao announces that he’s increasing the price of iPhones

Trump will host a private dinner tomorrow for the top buyers of his memecoin, which has made him the world's newest crypto billionaire. The top 25 coin buyers will get a "VIP White House tour." Call it what it is: corruption.

Did you know that tens of thousands of active duty service members and their families rely on SNAP?

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

@warren.senate.gov: "Republicans wanna do a bomb with a long fuse. They wanna say, 'We're gonna cut healthcare & food help for millions of Americans. We're gonna pass the law now, light the fuse, and it's not gonna explode until right after the 2026 election. That way Republicans can deny reality.'"

Republicans in Congress are about to take health care away from tens of thousands of Minnesotans… …to give tax cuts to billionaires.

Every time he speaks I like to remember this quote….

Why? Wasn't the whole point of DOGE to expose the waste, fraud, and abuse to the American public?

Making sure our kids don’t go hungry isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s an investment in our future.

We sued Indiana on Monday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

JD Vance broke the National Championship trophy, then visited the Pope who died the next day, then visited India and a terrorist attack happened and war broke out, then endorsed his brother for mayor who lost 83-11%. What’s next on the agenda?

oh cool we're trading dollhouses for real houses, Trump should have led with that

Your spoiled children must sacrifice for our cherished billionaires.

A race played out across the globe, from Europe to the Middle East and the U.S., led by Eric Trump & Don Trump Jr. as they pushed new ways to profit off of the Trump name & Trump's status as POTUS. The NYT today investigates this extraordinary drive to cash in. nyti.ms/4iNzTYv

As we’ve said before now confirmed. FOIA requests reveal that DOGE employees are pulling in six-figure salaries, with many holding the title of “Expert,” a specific Office of Personnel Management (OPM) designation that pays around $190,000 a year.

This is deranged behavior by the official White House X account

would've played on a loop for months if a democrat had said it, as proof dems were out of touch and callous

You will eat the bugs. You will sleep in the pod. You will own nothing. You will be happy. Make America Great Again.

It’s bad enough that they are punishing people for taking a stand against what was found beyond a reasonable doubt by both state and federal courts to be criminally excessive police violence. But to take the time and effort *five years later* to identify and punish them is downright sick.

Commerce Department employees caught up in a legal battle over their mass firings are now learning that their health care coverage was cut off weeks ago, even though they were paying their premiums.

The Trump administration now says they are allowed to enter your home to look for migrants without a warrant. They claim their actions are unconstrained by the Fourth Amendment.

*until you buy 50 million in Trump coin

When fascism hits unsend but the internet is forever.

The arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan may be Trump's most authoritarian move yet, capping off nearly 100 days of chaos and cruelty. Heather and I discuss what this means for the rest of Trump's term — and for America — on today's Coffee Klatch. https://youtu.be/go-gae-y2To

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

Mike Johnson throws cold water on the notion that Republicans might raise taxes on the wealthy

Are people allowed to say this on Fox News?

I don't suppose it would occur to Republicans in congress to look at where this is headed and show a modicum of effort to stop the pilot from flying the plane into the mountain.

What’s on the chopping block under Trump’s FDA? -Quality control testing for milk & dairy products -Routine testing for deadly bacteria in grocery items -Monitoring food packaging for "forever chemicals" Making America Healthy Again, one foodborne illness at a time.  Hello?

The reason billionaires like McMahon are obsessed with student debt is that creating financial precarity makes people more stressed about losing their job. If you’re worried about your job you’re less likely to quit and find work elsewhere. You’re less likely to ask for a raise. It’s pure class war.
