“We’re all going to die” -Woman with government healthcare who is cutting Medicaid

You have your assignment. 😉

Spare me the fake outrage. None of these people showing up for court are criminals of any kind. As a prosecutor, I worked with many ICE officers who arrested violent criminals. None of them wore masks. Many of your agents are clearly ashamed to carry out your orders.

Reality. Zip tied kids

GOP Senator Joni Ernst is correct that we all are going to die. But it shouldn’t be as a result of Republicans’ big, ugly bill.

My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

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

The new GOP slogan (thank you, Joni Ernst.)

Breaking news from the can't-make-this-shit-up desk: The same folks who are certain that Fauci caused COVID by funding people to study bats in a Biosafety Level 4 facility now want to import 400 ostriches with the goddamn bird flu from Canada so they can live on Dr. Oz's ranch.

@timmiller.bsky.social and @katiecouric.bsky.social on the Trump family profiting off the White House: “How are they able to be so f**king corrupt?”

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

Trump thrives on other people being humiliated. Even his own family members. Which made watching him be humiliated live on TV with the TACO comments all that more delicious today.

Jessica: There is an important distinction to be drawn between being accessible and being good or delivering truth… he does these interviews and says I don't know or I'm not sure… He may be in front of you but that doesn’t mean he’s not spewing bs

Treating a new Covid strain like a crime and not a public health issue is deranged.

Today, we received notice that our team’s last remaining NSF grant was terminated. For the first time since 2009, when I received an NSF Fellowship for Graduate Research, I have no active NSF grants.

RFK Jr’s Department of Health and Human Services has notified Moderna that it is canceling a nearly $600 million contract with the company to develop, test, and license vaccines for flu strains that could trigger future pandemics, including the dangerous H5N1 bird flu virus.

Whitmer kidnap plotters were represented by counsel, given due process, and convicted by a jury unanimously beyond a reasonable doubt. A pardon would reward political violence. www.freep.com/story/news/p...

I thought Sean Duffy knew nothing about aviation. But then I heard him talk about public transportation....

“The number of people without health insurance is going to rise.” @citizencohn.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social break down how Republicans are quietly gutting Obamacare through a sweeping new bill.

YOU CAN'T WIN IF YOU DON'T FIGHT. ANOTHER EXAMPLE. FIGHT.

Beyond parody.

Next time they lie that they’re targeting universities due to antisemitism, let’s remember their officials & allies who spread antisemitic conspiracy theories. They don’t care about Jews or antisemitism. They only care about consolidating their power.

The Dept. of Justice has filed its first voter suppression lawsuit aimed at disenfranchising voters. This is a critical juncture for democracy. Paige and I discuss the implications and how it echoes claims made by failed state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin. youtu.be/8XEW-Ga428M

Vladimir Putin is a sworn enemy of the United States. Appeasement was never going to work. Why is that so difficult to understand?

No religion on earth would condone this level of indifference and hypocrisy; none, Nada, Zip!

Heroin soaked brain worm guy is trying to kill us all. By taking away vaccines from a large segment of the population, he risks everyone else with disease or death. I’m so fed up with this administration & anti-vax conspiracy nut bars. ⬇️ #ProudBlue #OneV1 www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Thou shalt not call yourself “the law and order party” when your leader is a convicted felon who constantly pardons criminals in exchange for millions of dollars in bribes.

Capitol Police chief blasts Jan 6 conspiracy theories: “My folks were here on Jan. 6.. They were assaulted.. Many of them were injured. They know exactly what happened on Jan. 6. For somebody to make up some story that, 'Oh, it wasn't that bad’..it is just not true” www.cbsnews.com/news/capitol...

Not a coincidence.

The consistent attacks on our federal workforce have created a brain drain in our federal government that is already hurting every American.

I'm telling you, they want to tank the dollar and control the replacement.
