DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

Gotta love modern technology. You can get devastating health news via a DM on mychart!

Not sure what anyone can say besides "the president needs to be removed from office immediately." Every other political conversation is moot until that happens.

Blue Cross had refused to pay thousands of claims for the center’s patients, but on several occasions executives at the insurance company had signed special one-time deals with the center to pay for their wives’ cancer treatment. By @tchristianmiller.bsky.social

Pro-natalists: you need to have at least 10 kids Normal people: why, are you expecting half of them to die before puberty due to lack of modern health and sanitation? Pro-natalists: you're never gonna believe what we also advocate

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

“Bluesky is too much of an echo chamber” have you spent five minutes in a political discussion here

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

happy confederate surrender day to all

In 1990, thousands of Americans with disabilities decided to stop waiting for elected officials to act. Their efforts changed the minds — and the votes — of elected officials and resulted in the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. We can’t wait for our leaders to act. We have to lead.

“McDonalds workers in Denmark make more than Honda workers in Alabama” is such a key point. It’s the institutions, stupid.

An innocent man was sent to an El Salvadorian prison and the Supreme Court just decided not to bring him back. The rot in this country, in our politics & courts is so much deeper than one man. Do not let their lack of humanity corrode your own. The real question is what are we willing to sacrifice?

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

There’s a lesson here for every Big Law firm, university and media company if they care to learn it.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

less than ten trans women tried to play collegiate sports and now the car dealership class gets to crash the global economy and set up sweatshops in the midwest

Honestly we didn’t really bully alito enough. Let’s get protesters back outside his house

very excited to learn that the constitution allows the federal government to disappear people to foreign gulags beyond the reach of any judicial remedy

You know what you need for a general strike? Rent funds. Bail funds. Healthcare funds. Childcare funds. Viable tenant and homeowner unions. You know what you DON'T need? Sign up sheets.

Yes, yes, it is.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

The administration is a perfect storm of dumb people who enjoy inflicting pain and are addicted to psychotic cruelty and quadrupling down. It ends in total ruin if you don't impeach him.
