It's past midnight, and Senate Republicans are voting NO against every Democratic-led amendment to PROTECT HEALTH CARE for our families. Pay close attention: Republicans are working to push kids off Medicaid to pass MORE tax cuts for billionaires.

They tell themselves it can’t happen here. That the courts will save us, that institutions will hold, that this is just another election. But history doesn’t wake the sleepwalkers gently. It shatters them.

People literally died from Covid while claiming it doesn’t exist. There is never going to be a wake up call for some people. A lot of people. It’s not about convincing them if they can’t be convinced. IMO it’s about overwhelming them entirely with opposition.

I am musing over the way that laws get passed here, historically. Every good thing the Dems ever got for us was horse-traded for bad, ugly things the GOP wanted. Musk is canceling all the good things Dems ever won for us and keeping all the ugly stuff the GOP put in place in the trades.

Yep, DOGE is as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving. That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

This column is almost a week after I FIRST showed that Trump is relying on a GAO report that in turns relies on COVID fraud to substantiate fraud claims--and it doesn't get the scope of the COVID fraud correct OR mention that those who found it got fired.

Trump’s latest executive order is pure authoritarianism—declaring that only he or the AG can define the law. That’s not how the Constitution works; it’s how dictatorships operate. This is a direct assault on judicial independence and a setup for martial law. 1/2

RFK Jr. has just “vowed to investigate the childhood vaccine schedule that prevents measles, polio and other dangerous diseases”. Thousands upon thousands of scientists and healthcare workers did everything we could to stop him being confirmed. And here we are, exactly where we told you we’d be.

📌Your (our) social security information is being compromised as I type this. 📌It is one of the biggest stories in United States history, and for the life of me I don’t understand why it isn’t being treated this way. 📌Fucking sirens should be blaring. It is a full-on emergency.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governm...
