🚨BREAKING: The latest version of the Republican reconciliation bill does not include provision that would have required those suing the Trump administration to post a huge bond if they won an injunction. A BIG VICTORY for Senate Democrats, democracy and the rule of law.

The government has announced a two-tier benefits system. Under its plans, you can keep your benefits if you are disabled now, but not if you become disabled tomorrow. How is that fair? A reminder: The Independent Alliance stands by its own amendment, and we will not back down.

The Supreme Court just paved the way for states to “defund” Planned Parenthood. At the same time, Republicans are pushing a bill that would go even further—closing 1 in 3 locations. Americans will have nowhere else to go to get the health care that Planned Parenthood provides.

As I said on the show today, the word to watch is ‘obliterated’. It’s his ‘alternative fact’ (aka bare-faced lie) & the acolytes are programmed to repeat it until it becomes the accepted but still utterly false narrrative. Most media still can’t process the completeness of the corruption.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

There’s a growing problem you’re not supposed to question: masked agents detaining migrants. Not in war zones...here...on U.S. soil. When power hides its face...it stops being accountable. When you can’t ID authority...you can’t challenge it. 1/5 🧵

The new ICE recruits everyone keeps saying are proud boys or whatever may be linked to hate groups but they are primarily US military. Trump is circumventing the whole “insurrection act” thing by just hiring them as contractors. These are traitors violating their oath.

The increasing normalisation of nuclear weapons is deeply dangerous & sends message to all other countries that security depends on acquiring weapons of mass destruction. Oh & the bombs are owned & use controlled by US alone. What could possibly go wrong?

Huh?? 🤔 In a new filing, Trump’s DOJ worries that Kilmar Abrego Garcia will be deported if he’s released from criminal detention. The Trump administration previously refused to return Abrego Garcia after he was wrongly deported…and is still trying to deport him again.

Kind of fun to see my posts on the Bad Site being reposted here. I don't mind, of course. But if I was linking to an article or a post with an article, I'd appreciate if people could share that as well so the context is also there. Here it is! nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

Probably not good to send DOJ lawyers the message that engaging in substandard lawyering that helps the President will get them a pass from SCOTUS and a potential nomination from Trump.

You just need to accept that the words coming out of Trump's mouth were never meant to reflect reality as we live in it. They are said to reinforce reality as MAGA believe it to be. big difference. He's never told a lie, by that metric.
