Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

Senate Republicans voted to legalize debanking by repealing a Biden administration and CFPB rule than stopped payment apps from banning people without cause. This shouldn’t be a partisan issue. Lotsa MAGA folks are rightfully upset about this too.

The one thing I hear over and over from job seekers is "I need a job." That is FALSE. You don't need a job. A job needs you. You need food and shelter. You can live under a bridge. You can eat anyone who tries to cross that bridge and fails to answer your riddles correctly. Problem solved.

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu at the House hearing on sanctuary cities: "If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms. Stop cutting Medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our cities safe." Mic drop! 🎤

My husband was annoyed after spending $65 on two burgers and fries, so I said, “Bet yours could blow these away.” His eyes lit up. “Really? I’ll make some tomorrow!” Two days later, I did the same with pasta. And that’s how I Jedi mind-tricked my husband into becoming our chef.

I've always liked WIRED. But I did not have on my 2025 notes - WIRED becomes THE source for the most important investigative journalism of our time (with respect for ProPublica and a few others)

To all the MAGA folks screeching that Democrats didn't stand up and clap for a kid with cancer: Republicans are defunding research for kids with cancer. Sit down.

I mean, it’s not great that only 5 of 9 Supreme Court justices believe in the Constitution, but a win is a win.

Trump only ran again to evade accountability for his crimes so the only poetically correct outcome is if being president somehow makes his life even worse. At some point during his term he has to think "I should've gone to jail instead"

Musk states "the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy". Charles Darwin, who actually researched this stuff, showed it was empathy, specifically, that enabled humanity to flourish.

Is Elon Musk gonna start screeching that they need to “impeach” the “far left rogue Supreme Court justices” that voted against his $2 billion USAID cuts by DOGE? When 2 Republicans, Roberts and Coney Barrett, joined the Democrats on SCOTUS? 🤣

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address: Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.
