Remember that this is the beginning. This sends the cuts back to the committees, then they will have to vote on it again. THEN they have to reconcile it with the Senate bill. Then vote AGAIN. We may have lost this battle, but they haven't won the fucking war yet. LFG!

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

It’s said that we live in a post-fact society. We disagree. Now, more than ever, facts matter, and ProPublica is going to continue to track how and when patently false statements are injected into conversations about the country’s future. By @sengelberg.bsky.social

It must suck to attend a WH Press briefing while AP is locked out and most of the questions go to right-wing podcasters and internet channels while you sit there and get ignored. I’d rather be AP taking a principled stand than whatever that is.

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

@rbreich.bsky.social: “For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.”

I hope this costs MSNBC it's existence. I also hope that Maddow, ODonnell, and everyone who was fired make their own way with a all-star podcast show that could be formatted as cable is, just without the fake Christian Fascists running it. No one has tried an all star podcast network. Might be huge

If you are looking to do your part in saving democracy, I highly recommend you buy and read ONE book: Howard Zinn’s a People’s History of America. It’s a MUST read. It’s not for the faint of heart, but we are at war for the soul of this nation & you have to be hardened to face the fight READ IT!

Watching Rep Jeffries on Maddow show was dispiriting. Normal responses are ineffective in addressing times that are not normal. Merrick Garland demonstrated that to catastrophic results. We are in the midst of a power grab that is rendering policies & rule of law irrelevant. What do we DO?
