Trump: "Part of the problem w/ Harvard is there are about 31% of foreigners coming to Harvard...but they refuse to tell us who the people are...it shouldn't be 31%. It's too much. Bc we have Americans who want to go there...we want a list of those students...I assume with Harvard many will be bad"

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Republicans in Congress really want to take food out of the mouths of hungry children and medicine away from the sick to fund tax cuts for people who don't need them. Tell your Senators: Vote NO on the Trump budget.

DOGE’s drastic cuts to foreign aid has caused new HIV infections to surge and threaten to derail plans to eradicate AIDS as a public health threat by 2030. They’ve jeopardized the rollout of a newly developed injectable that is “the closest thing to a vaccine that we have ever had in HIV response.”

As Republican senators go home for the Memorial Day weekend, it’s an excellent time for those of you who live in their states to be heard — especially on the Big Ugly Bill that’s coming to the Senate from the House next week. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/as-these-senators-go-home-for-the

Here's a complete list of *everything* in the GOP megabill, thanks to heroic efforts from @aliciaparlap.bsky.social @emmbadger.bsky.social and Josh Katz. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Not satisfied with merely slashing Medicaid Republicans now want to demolish MEDICARE as well Which would severely harm seniors and disabled people Plus bankrupt rural hospitals Seriously-how many Americans are Trump and MAGA Republicans going to kill so they can give Elon Musk another tax break

I’ve got breaking news from sources in the Pentagon. Hegseth has invited what appears to be the entire Pentagon workforce to a Christian prayer and worship service in the official Pentagon auditorium during duty hours in violation of the First Amendment and military regulations. I have the story.

The "party of the working class," everyone.

Dear farmers, don't you dare accept this socialism handout. Tell drumpf you'll just pull yourself up by them bootstraps.

Fact checking alone isn't enough when these people speak Fact-twist-checking is the new gold standard. Sheesh.

About to vote on a budget full of tax cuts. Taxes fund public education, health, safety, emergency management, & more, things that help all folk. Cutting them weakens us all. PS: Income tax cuts today = higher property taxes tomorrow. Voting NO on this short-sighted plan. 👎

Elon Musk’s DOGE was an abject failure. Musk said the cost-cutting task force would save $2 trillion. But even its own estimate says that just $160 billion has been saved — and at tremendous cost to our country. That’s one reason why Musk is so hated by average Americans.

When it hit Tapper that he lost his audience, he pivoted hard right to save the sales. He’s now appearing on Megyn Kelley and groveling to the Trumps. It’s so sad what people will do for a little bit of money.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

Remember when Republicans said Trump’s Tax Scam wouldn’t touch Medicare? They were lying.

Don't miss the scariest committee hearing of the year.

“The press doesn't give a shit.”

At some point soon all Democratic Senators need to learn that “nuanced” decisions are not going to work anymore. They are destroying the government and your “compromise” is just a surrender. Some seem to get it but too many are clinging to a fantasy.

It’s still hard for me to believe that after so many years of deranged posts like this, we’ve still never had a serious national conversation about this man’s mental health.

While he guts life-saving programs, Trump is going to waste millions of our tax dollars on a birthday parade to feed his ego. That’s why June 14 is No Kings Day. We’re taking to the streets to reject authoritarianism with nearly 1,000 events planned in all 50 states: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

"The bare minimum will reach the population - simply so the world doesn't stop us and accuse us of war crimes." www.bbc.com/news/live/cq...

I assume he's mad about AUTOPEN because Stephen Miller probably used it to sign off on the Alien Enemies Act proclamation. Just guessing, though.

"The office no longer had a permanent overnight forecaster after... cuts ordered by the Department of Government Efficiency, the initiative led by Elon Musk..." Americans are dying because of this incompetence! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/w...

Their goal is to leave America sicker, poorer, more desperate and less free. Easier to impose Christofascism on a broken people.

Damn. Joe Biden was one of the BEST Presidents America has had in my lifetime, and I am SHATTERED to hear news of his diagnosis OF prostate cancer with metastasis to the bone. We were lucky to have this kind, thoughtful, and dedicated man step up for us when he did. PRAYERS ALL THE WAY UP. 🙏🙏

🇺🇸 Joe Biden has given his entire life to public service and the United States of America. 🇺🇸 He's a man you can bet on, and I am betting he's gotta lot of run left him yet. 🇺🇸 Go Joe!

‼️‼️

Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's book about President Biden, "Original Sin," is scheduled to be released on Tuesday. They should have some decency and postpone it. Now is not the time.

Sending love, support and solidarity to President Biden and his family. We know he’ll face this cancer fight with the same grace, tenacity and strength he has shown throughout a lifetime of public and private battles. This man shows us what character and courage are made of.

There are 435 congressional districts — and in every one of them, our groups are organizing the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power. Find your local group: indivisible.org/groups Or let us help you get started: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

There is a special place in hell for people who work for a presidential administration who decide to air out dirty laundry for a tell-all book, but who won't stand behind it and put their names on the record. Disgusting.

For all the people talking about the cover up of Biden's condition. How long did republicans cover up Regan's dementia and why are the republicans still covering up Trump's increasing dementia that is on full display for all to see.

It’s plain for all to see.

And now for something completely different.. Autumn Landscape, 1928 oil on canvas 40 x 52 cm private collection Ole Ring (6 August 1902 – 2 May 1972) was a Danish painter.

This is bleak reading

The top 1% gets an almost $65,000 tax cut. Low-income people who are paid such low wages that they only earn a fraction of that amount in an entire year get their food assistance & health coverage cut.

Senator Alsobrooks: You’ve been unable to address specific questions about your agency. Can you name which office the Safe to Sleep program operates out of? RFK Jr.: Guesses wrong 5 times Alsobrooks: It is the Eunice Kennedy Shriver NICHD.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.
