Trump promised to bring down the cost of housing. But his "big beautiful bill" slashes billions in rental assistance, extends tax breaks for predatory landlords, and restricts state governments from cracking down on AI-powered rent-gouging. Another Trump lie.

The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion. Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates. What’s “moderate” about that?

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale

“The steep cuts to the program's inspectors baffled CDC officials since the small team's staff is not paid for by taxpayer dollars.” Ya just can’t make this shit up. Which one of the DOGE brainiacs wants to take credit for it?

All Members of Congress must immediately disclose all trades in the market over the last week. Stocks, bonds, ETFs. All of it. The Trump-caused market chaos is ripe for abuse. Who knew Trump would cave on tariffs and when? The public deserves answers. I oppose trading by Members. Ban it now.

“MY POLICIES WILL NEVER CHANGE … ONLY THE WEAK WILL FAIL.” Which is to say, if you weren’t already a billionaire, you’re obviously weak, and a failure. The billionaire buyout is underway, and they’re stealing your future. WAKE UP AMERICA. THIS IS NOT MAKING US GREAT. #DoSomething

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

Once again, crypto follows the broader market and is tanking. The lie of crypto is that it's a hedge against the market/dollar. The truth is it's a speculative asset with no use case beyond crime. It's all a con. Anyone who shills crypto should be understood as a con artist.

Most of us take this country for granted. Access to education & opportunities improve ones circumstances are key to a stable, upwardly mobile society. One only needs to spend a short time in places ridden w/ economic inequality & lack of educational opportunities to appreciate how fortunate we are.

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

Important thread. So. If Republicans are just going to cave & become zombie pawns in Trump’s NRx scheme to start an economic avalanche & destroy the Republic, if they refuse to carry out their duties, can Senate Democrats at least DISRUPT & start taking turns filibustering Every Damn Day?
