All facts

People can hold two different ideas in their heads Both can be bad Both can be focused on

Happy 250th Anniversary of Lexington and Concord from the Supreme Court of the United States

TN DOC: “Had HB793/SB836 existed when I was a child, we would not have forged that path. I would not have made it through grade school, and I would not be wearing a white coat today… leave children out of immigration politics.” (cc: William Lamberth) www.tennessean.com/story/opinio...

330,000 Rhode Islanders rely on Medicaid. These RIers are parents or grandparents in nursing homes; loved ones recovering from addiction or dealing with mental health issues; new parents in your neighborhood. When Republicans weigh cuts, look around. It’s cruel and stupid.

And many are outright geniuses, and engage in more productive activity in an hour than RFK Jr. will in his entire life.

🔥WATCH: @votegloriaj.bsky.social exposes the hypocrisy of Bulso declaring “Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness” months in Tennessee (with anti-choice wording in the resolution) when TN Republicans have stripped women of their bodily autonomy and refuse to let LGBTQ folks live

Never forget.

Since the beginning I’ve said that Elon and his DOGE tech bros know the real value in pillaging these federal agencies is in the data, but not to raid your bank accounts. It’s to influence the outcome of our elections.

Good reporting here. Student paper gets what the bigs have missed. White House is actually threatening to defund all of bostons major hospitals www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

I’m just an old-fashioned conservative who thinks that criminals should go to prison after receiving due process, and not to El Salvador or to the White House without it.

Who agrees?

This is why people hate Washington. The President is bragging about his buddies' investments while people see their retirements go down the drain.

You lost your 401k... and did Trump make money doing it? He posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" just hours before pausing the tariffs. It's time for everyone to ask House Republicans why they aren't fighting for an investigation into this.

Good morning. A reminder that historically when the US has wanted to punish other countries, it imposed sanctions on them, cutting their people off from global trade, hoping to create enough economic havoc that they rein in their leaders. Trump has imposed economic sanctions on the American people.

You could say they're about national security, but then why would you tariff everything? It could be about manufacturing, but why then tariff vanilla from Madagascar? It could be about reciprocity, but why aren't they tailored to the specific tariffs that other countries have?

Some should start/advertise a podcast that explains the explosion Trump is causing in real terms. Maybe @warren.senate.gov?

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

Trump promised to lower energy prices for Americans. Instead, his energy secretary is creating a clean energy “hit list.” Fact: Investing in clean energy sources is the best way to increase supply and bring costs down.

Elon Musk’s DOGE cronies want an AI bot to replace the federal workers who advise students and families on how to pay for college. Relying on AI for major financial decisions is annoying at best and reckless at worst. Either way, it’ll cost Americans.

In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.

SCOOP: Sen. Brian Schatz is expanding his holds on Trump's nominees to include an additional 50 names — along with a batch of bipartisan foreign affairs bills.

I'm sure Americans everywhere can't wait.

Translation: “Small businesses can’t enrich me personally so I don’t care what happens to them” Says it all, really

There are ways out of this…..

deals are being made every day
