We’re just going to keep literally lighting money on fire and polluting the earth to fuel a megalomaniac’s ego. All while children starve to death and lose all hope for an equitable and healthy future.

This is my moronic rep. 😑

I appreciate that Vevo opened their “I want my 80s” segment with Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen this morning. #bornintheusa

It's story time...

Here’s where a rep Andy ogles lackey came out and taunted the crowd that was kept out of his closed-door anti-immigrant presser inside a closed Capitol — on Memorial Day, of all days.

My Great-Grandfather was a casualty of the Philippine–American War. His body was returned to be buried in San Francisco, Ca. #memorialday

Imagine if we thought of ways to feed people rather than starve them? Heal them rather than rip medical care away? Educate them rather than ban books and take away access? Create space rather than build walls? Just imagine a world where we love and accept rather than hate and reject. #imagine

🎶🎶 Money Money Money… Mon-NEY🎶🎶 It was in his theme song after all.

$79 TRILLION 🇺🇸 : “Analysis from the nonpartisan RAND Corporation: since 1975, $79 trillion in wealth has been transferred from the bottom 90% of earners to the top 1%… most extreme levels of income inequality in U.S. history…” www.nationofchange.org/2025/03/05/s... #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' is the most dangerous legislation in U.S. history. Here's why...

Jessica needs to dump Scott Galloway on their podcast. She’s a valuable voice but he’s just a condescending jerk. The fact he agrees with Tapper shows you all you need to know.

“We take vaccines so for granted in the United States” ...“Women in the developing world know the power of [vaccines]. They will walk 10 kilometers in the heat with their child and line up to get a vaccine because they have seen death.” Melinda Gates

Deregulation= Ending consumer protection.

Cash is legal tender, for circulation, not stockpiling. Everything about billionaires is counterproductive.

Profits made. Profits kept. 🤡 @forbes.com @zacheverson.com www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...

McGovern: We live in the richest country on Earth and not a single kid in this country should go to bed hungry, not a single damn one and especially when Republicans are giving millionaires and billionaires a big fat tax break.

As predicted, looks like the GOP magically found the votes after their meeting with the President. Their key compromise? Make the Medicaid cuts and clean energy cuts sooner. New draft to drop soon… 19 hours later Dems are still holding it down in Rules testifying on behalf of the American people! 💪

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

Congress shouldn’t take away basic necessities for children, seniors, veterans, and low-income Americans to provide tax breaks to the wealthy. This “big beautiful bill” will destroy countless lives.

Trump spent much of his meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa rambling about disproven claims and conspiracy theories. Ramaphosa was not interested in indulging Trump’s delusions about his country.

McGovern: "You are literally taking food off kids' plates to buy Elon Musk another yacht. I guess he's getting a good return on his campaign donations ... this is not policy. This is theft."

Like this.

WTF @theatlantic.com ? NOBODY WANTS TO BUY THIS BOOK. I was just going to praise my new Atlantic subscription and how much I love the access I get to the podcasts but JFC can we give this man some peace? Even if he was struggling at least he was well enough to put together a successful team.
