Two Republican-held districts have the most Coloradans on Medicaid. This same story is playing out across the country. TRANSLATION: Trump voters chose hate—and forgot they rely on Medicaid. Oops.

Reporters need to stop using their language. This isn't about DEI. Defunding an art show has nothing to do with DEI. This is pure hatred enshrined in the executive branch. Call it what it is: Racism. Bigotry. Hate.

My favorite reason, so far, for why Republicans are so angry about how things are shaking out: "They were supposed to hurt the people I hate. They're not supposed to hurt me." Leopards, bayybeeee. (and nobody learned a fucking lesson last time)

That all works out great until the protesters start showing up at their representatives' houses. It has happened before and people are already real angry. Knock knock, motherfuckers.

THEY'RE GOING TO ISSUE PERMANENT VISA BANS TO TRANS VISITORS TO THE US. This isn't just for athletes. The directive as stated applies to all visa applications made by trans folks and declare it material fraud to use a different gender marker on applications. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

Journalists covering the White House need to proceed the way they would covering the regime in any other hostile authoritarian state. All the White House does in these briefings is lie anyway.

This is your regular reminder that government mandated backdoors for end-to-end encrypted comms are bullshit, make everyone less safe, and should be resisted at maximum volume.

this is a really an unfathomable level of evil “shut off all foreign aid” is of course just as evil but it’s a blunt instrument, where you don’t have to directly face the specific programs you’re killing but these little fucks were manually vetoing PEPFAR time and again

The thing all MAGA have in common. Small dick energy. A bunch of mediocre underachievers who get pleasure from hurting others. They want to hurt people of color/ women/children. Makes them feel like strong men, these dudes probably breastfed until they were 10. Size sm very telling.

It's nice to see that public outcry is beginning to stymie Trump's efforts, but the prospect is calling the coup a failure _way too soon_. We have not succeeded until Trump and all of his cronies (including Vance) are impeached, and gone. This is not over. Be ever vigilant.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

"These are important people with weighty responsibilities. Is it too much to expect them to stand on principle, to consider the greater good? I guess so."

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

They intend to fire you irrespective of how you respond. A non-response is not an announcement of resignation. Consider consulting with an attorney. Give them nothing. Make them fire you and then claim benefits. Do not make their job easy.

Imagine being so insecure that you hold most of the earth’s resources- you could single-handedly end world hunger, do massive dent in advancing cancer research. And instead you vow to rip apart government and tech employment and infrastructure, and lie about playing video games.

Measles are contagious. Measles cause 1 in 4 people to be hospitalized. Measles can be deadly especially in children. Measles can cause blindness & deafness. Measles can cause brain damage yrs later. Measles can cause "immune amnesia". Measles are preventable with MMR vaccine. #medsky #IDsky 🛟 😷🧪

IMO the only moral thing any republican congressperson could do is resign. Let the special election carry your political memory to the beyond. If you're backing Trump only because you're receiving threats, move out of the line of fire. Let's get people who are prepared to do the job.
