"Maybe their real motive isn’t to improve or save Medicaid, but to divert its funding for a purpose and group of people they consider more important."

McMAHON: There are laws on the books-- WATSON COLEMAN: Laws don't mean anything to this administration ... you can say anything you want. Your rhetoric means nothing to me. What means something to me is the action of this administration.

BREAKING: AOC on GOP bill: “When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this.”

Very courageous for the Chair of the House Freedom Caucus Andy Harris to vote “present” on the budget. He took a strong and principled stand to do nothing, and refused to waiver from his firm commitment to do nothing.

caught in a lie by Sen. Whitehouse, Lee Zeldin starts yelling at him and has a meltdown

Hold every single Republican responsible. From dog catcher to Senator. Every. Single. One.

The number of people in prison keeps on rising. It shouldn’t be a blind spot for human rights. ⚖️📢 @penalreformint.bsky.social #JusticeForAll

The Supreme Court achieved what law professors believe to be the biggest instantaneous “de-documentation” of immigrants in U.S. history. 350,000 Venezuelans woke up on Monday with legal status and went to bed without it. What happens next remains unclear. Read more from @daralind.bsky.social:

🇪🇺⛔️🇭🇺 European Parliament calls for complete freeze on Hungary funding, - LRT A group of MEPs says it is unacceptable to support "corrupt regime" of pro-Russian PM Orban, who openly undermines European values. It is necessary to "immediately stop all funding to Hungary, using available instruments"

Priceless. There's zero chance these guys hsve any coherent policy. 🧪 www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Rep. Andy Barr is highly triggered on CNN when Kate Bolduan asks him about the CBO's dire scoring of the reconciliation bill and starts talking over her

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

Bartiromo: "Should we really have wind and solar subsidies in this bill? What if it's not windy? What if it's not sunny?"

Do people actually support this shit? It’s not a big leap to suspending YOUR rights once you allow them to start suspending other people’s

ZELDIN: I understand you're an aspiring fiction writer. I see why. SCHIFF: I understand your view that you can cut half of the agency and it won't affect people's health or their water or their air. That to me is a big fiction ... you could give a rat's ass about how much cancer your agency causes

Joel Osteen's house has 5 fireplaces, 3 elevators, a 20-car driveway, and a Ferrari. His megachurch doesn't pay taxes, but you do. Why is that?

90 people that got sent to El Salvador were legal immigrants. 50 of them had appointments with US immigration and had permission to enter to attend those appointments.

Maybe if Pierre got himself a ticket to Fantasy Island and begged Mr. Roarke... It's almost like Pierre is broken and something snapped within him when he lost. He's not handling reality well. It's concerning. Does anyone love him enough to tell him? Ana?

Amazing how quickly the rhetoric of “personal choice” drops away once they’re in a position to impose their crackpottery on everyone.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

🚨 NEW from me + @billgale.bsky.social: as part of their 'Big, Beautiful Bill,' House Rs want to expand a tax break for businesses known as Section 199A. In a new Brookings brief, we explain why economists across the political spectrum agree this would be regressive and ineffective. A thread (1/8):

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

So I guess it matters if you stand for something. www.mediaite.com/news/aoc-see...

Now that would be incredible!! 😈

“You shouldn't be within a thousand miles of the directorship of the IRS.”

I’m only surprised it took this long under this administration!

At 9:00 AM this morning the entire Pentagon got an email inviting them to a “Christian prayer and worship service” from the Office of the Secretary of Defense. A Cabinet member directly violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

Stop calling kidnapping and trafficking people to countries they’ve never been to “deporting.” It’s criminal behavior by a country with no conscience. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

“.. ‘We need to do some rewriting” and more analytic work “so this document is not used against the DNI or POTUS,’ Joe Kent, the chief of staff to Ms. Gabbard, wrote in an email to a group of intelligence officials on April 3 ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/u...

I for one am shocked that a man who only turned up for one Fisheries meeting out of 42 when he was an MEP would decide to go on holiday when Parliament was sitting, rather than during the 18 weeks it is closed.

Find your local food bank. Find out what they need. With summer fast approaching and SNAP on the chopping block, we have a bad situation for a lot of kids. For the 11-12 million who live in poverty, school provided lunch is a lifeline. Now their pantries at home are going to be even more empty.

Holding a hearing at 1:00 AM? What is it? They’re hiding? Good opportunity for us to all set our alarms and get up for a little midnight popcorn & airing of the truth.
