Taking health care and food away from the poorest Americans to give Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk another tax break. No wonder Republicans in Congress are voting on Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” in the dead of night when no one is watching them.

WATCH: “The politics of this are so bad it literally blows my mind.” Republicans cutting Medicaid by $880 BILLION to slash taxes for the rich is wildly unpopular — and @MarshaBlackburn’s office just admitted it is their plan. 1 million Tennesseans are on Medicaid.

Trump defying a 9-0 Supreme Court decision is the reason I say "if we still have free and fair elections in the United States" when I talk about 2026 midterms.

Interesting isn't it that people like Cody Balmer, who sets fire to the governor's mansion in Pennsylvania gets their legitimate due process under the law but Albergo Garcia, who committed no crime gets none. This is America now.

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

FUN FACT: Donald trump said he'd end the war in Ukraine in one day, easiest thing ever. 80 days later, he STILL hasn't ended it. Because everything he says is BULLSHIT.

You’d think when you’re claiming the richest country in the world can’t afford childhood cancer research you might wait a year before throwing yourself a 100 million dollar birthday parade. But carpe diem, suckers.

Last night I wrote about Abrego Garcia’s case. Today, SCOTUS confirmed it’s true. Even though their stay is just temporary, he remains in cruel & unusual conditions in a foreign prison with no recourse. It could happen to any of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

The same people who lost their minds about Hilary Clinton’s private email server are using Signal chats and Gmail to conduct classified government business. Call your Senators and House Rep and tell them to demand Mike Waltz’s resignation. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

No one voted for this. There are no words for the disgust I feel for the Trump regime and the most unqualified HHS Secretary in history. This is not right! None of it! #MomSky

Sen. Strom Thurmond voted against the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, AND supported Jim Crow laws. Thurmond’s record for longest floor speech (in protest of the Civil Rights Act, no less!) was just broken by a Black man, my good friend Cory Booker. That’s America.

Remember: Chuck Schumer said we couldn’t risk a government shutdown because that would allow Trump and Musk to shutter government offices and fire staff at will. So we kept the government open in exchange for nothing. And now this is happening.

FORTY MILLION DOLLARS to detain 400 migrants at Gitmo. That's $100,000 a person just to hold them for a few days — when they could far more easily be held in the United States! Just a couple weeks ago it was reported to have cost $16 million. So the price tag is skyrocketing.

The top vaccine official at FDA was told to resign or be fired. He resigned today. “It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary [RFK Jr.], but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”
