Rob Wittman's Virginia: TWO employees in charge of maintaining all 500 miles of trails in Shenandoah NP. 💯 his fault @indivisibleva.bsky.social @50501virginia.bsky.social @bluevirginia.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov @hanovervadems.bsky.social richmond.com/news/state-r...

They are purging all the transcripts.

It’s time for people of faith, morality, and conscience to hold the people in our lives accountable for their willing partnership with this filth. We need to sever ties with our family members, friends, neighbors, and co-workers who still support him. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-may-nee...

If you’re not attending Trump’s military exploitation birthday party in DC you might want to consider joining one of the “No Kings” events happening across the country on June 14. My guest today @ezralevin.bsky.social from Indivisible explains how you can get involved. youtu.be/iJC455bmkbo

"Today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from CDC recommended immunization schedule," announces US Health Secretary Kennedy. Many medical professionals are quickly calling the change "ill advised."

“Target Corp., facing financial headwinds and pushback over its diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, has dismissed two executives who have backed DEI efforts, including a chief legal and compliance officer it hired nine months ago.”

Her stats line up with CDC data…

Narrator: they were not considering the offer

Read the embedded piece. Should be no surprise to anyone who remembers 2008 crash and has even modest familiarity with crypto. But nonetheless a great explanation of how this catastrophe in waiting has wormed its way into the financial & political system.

This Is Embarrassing And Disturbing… 🇨🇦🇩🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇩🇰🇳🇱🇫🇷 Canada, Germany, England, Denmark, Netherlands, and France all have travel advisory warnings for visiting America. Let that sink in.

So let me get this straight: the "party of the working class" is kicking millions of people off health care to fund tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the rich?

In addition to thinking about those who gave their lives, I’m also thinking about the erasure of the history of Memorial Day. www.washingtonpost.com/history/2023...

Only rubes and a complicit media believe that Musk is ending his self-serving assault on our government, and the murderous cuts to vital services. #TeslaTakedown isn't going anywhere. Join a protest or create one in your city at Teslatakedown.com

Pete Hegseth’s Defense Department tried to bar a CNN journalist from serving as a pool reporter for an upcoming foreign trip. Other reporters threatened to boycott the trip. Guess what happened next. The Pentagon caved. Via @oliverdarcy.bsky.social www.status.news/p/pete-hegse...

YES MORE OF THIS

I'm telling you, they want to tank the dollar and control the replacement.

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.

A large elephant seal took a wrong turn and was seen lumbering along a street in a coastal town in South Africa, surprising residents and inspiring a rescue effort to get him back to sea.

Quid pro quo…

Sadly I did not know this for the first 55 years of my life. They do not teach you this. This is absolutely true. And we should honor all of them this Memorial Day and always 

. @CNN.com looks like shit right now, and deservedly so, for shamelessly hawking Jake Tapper’s book. This is perfect: “Forgetting about the fact that how fucking weird it is that the news is selling you a book about news they should’ve told you was news a year ago—for free.” ~ Jon Stewart.

In the 80s a house was something like 3x the median income. Today a house is something like 6x median income. In 20 years a house will be like 10x median income. The public sees this. To them this means the system is failing. Of course they’re going to gamble/buy crypto/trade options. They need hope

‘They say, We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning.’ —Archibald MacLeish Remembering the fallen this Memorial Day, we can consider our own duty to strive so that our lives and our country are worthy of the price they paid.

What are we fighting for Not about Not against For Helps to think about that I have several family buried in federal cemeteries. They’d say they were fighting for the guy next to them, and the people waiting at home.

250 years ago, Americans made it clear that we weren’t going to be ruled by kings. In 18 days, we’re taking to the streets again to reject Trump’s authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like. We hope to see you on June 14 for No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Important lawsuit for people who care about free speech & the free press. NPR sues Trump admin over a basic constitutional principle: Congress, not POTUS controls the power of the purse & their fed’l funding www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/b...

lol

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.
