Warren: "Our best strategy is to make sure everybody knows exactly what the Republicans are trying to do, and that is they want to give literally trillions of dollars in tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires, and they want to pay for it on the backs of seniors who are living in nursing homes."

Name one thing more disgusting than this: The House GOP just passed a $4.5 trillion tax cut for ultra wealthy billionaires. They want to pay for it with hundreds of billions in cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP.

🤷🏻 🤷🏼‍♀️ was it something they said?

A personal note about the @katiephangshow.bsky.social:

The United States is on the verge of becoming a pariah state like North Korea. Which the rest of the world will refuse to have any kind of relationship with.

I can tell you one thing I am *not* doing tonight: watching @msnbc.com.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

Wild. Bond villain stuff. Conflict of interest doesn’t even begin to describe this. The national security concerns here are off the charts. www.cnn.com/2025/02/25/b...

You know what type of people a $5 million "Gold Card" for US citizenship will attract? Successful criminals and state-sponsored spies. Well done, Donald, after years of accusing Democrats of using immigration to bring unsavory people to the US, you prove that you were, once again, just projecting.

😬 as they blowtorch the FAA…

Cancelling @joyannreid.bsky.social means the door she held open for the next generation of Black voices will slam shut. Without her, the next her, won't get platformed by white media. That, of course, is why white media pushed her out. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

We get questioned a lot—we understand. Every day seems crazier than the last, and our legitimacy is often challenged. But everything we’ve shared is backed by evidence.

 This is an attack on Medicaid, and anyone who votes on this budget this week is voting to cut Medicaid in America, and voting to gut healthcare for Medicare recipients in America. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

CNN’s Scott Jennings Goes to the Mat for Musk’s Federal Contracts While Dismissing ‘Conflict’ Concerns: CNN’s Scott Jennings went to the mat for Elon Musk’s numerous federal contracts Tuesday night during a back-and-forth on the network over the billionaire’s role in the Trump White House and…

This seems bad

They’re cutting Medicaid

YES! Trump fired Hampton Dellinger. Judge reinstated him. Dellinger asks MSPB to block the firing of 6 probationary federal employees. SCOTUS punts on Trump’s request to remove Dellinger anyhow. MSPB grants the stay. MAJOR WIN FOR FEDERAL WORKERS.

If you feel this way, you're not along. And together, we're going to keep the Republic. Pass it on.

This is full blown dementia:

Donald Trump wants to pick and choose which journalists are allowed in his press pool. This is what dictators do.

Once again they screw veterans first. — Veteran-owned small firms hit first by VA's push for $2B in contract cuts. Service-disabled veteran entrepreneurs bear 89% of the claimed savings. Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins claims this is just step one. washingtontechnology.com/contracts/20...

Neal: "Look at the alignment. $1.2t here for cuts, but $1.2t for tax cuts. Oh, let me figure that one out. They are going to cut Medicaid to justify what it is that they want to do."

1400 more firings at Veterans Affairs: "Officials said specifically that Veterans Crisis Line responders were not affected by the dismissals. But workers within the department said that support staff for the crisis line were among the workers let go..." www.militarytimes.com/veterans/202...

I miss DEI

NYT: “DOGE deleted the top five highest savings claims on its ‘wall of receipts’ leaderboard after variousnews outlets pointed out multiple errors in its calculations…” newrepublic.com/post/191973/...

Today Congressman Mark Pocan TOOK THE GLOVES OFF. “Donald Trump is full of shit…and he needs to get the fuck out of Mar-a-Lago and talk to real people. “Elon Musk is a grifter. He makes Donald Trump look like elementary school level grifter. This guy has a PHD in theft from the American people.”

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

We dare Mike Johnson to give that answer at a town hall in front of his constituents

Murphy: "The destruction of our democracy is part of this story ... this is super unpopular, what they are doing. Nobody wants their healthcare to disappear ... so how do you get away with it? You try to destroy our democracy. You try to crush dissent. You threaten members of Congress with arrest."

Federal judge shuts down Donald Trump, blames him for "nationwide crisis" www.palmerreport.com/analysis/fed...

Apple shareholders rejected a proposal to scrap the company's DEI programs. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

$19,000,000,000,000.00

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

And wouldn't you know it, Elon Musk just got a big FAA contract

I have decided to cancel my show at The Kennedy Center on May 11, 2025 and move it to The Anthem.

Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

A Southwest Airlines plane was forced to abort its landing this morning after a private jet taxied in front of it across the runway at Midway Airport in Chicago. Whatever that guy from The Real World is doing with the FAA has gotta stop.

Anyone want to bet that no one looks at the email responses that Musk asked for ? It requires too much manpower and organization. Even w/AI He will hold them in the event he has an interaction with someone. If so, he can look up their response or lack of, and use it as cause for action.

The outpouring of support has been overwhelming and incredibly moving. 💙 The @katiephangshow.bsky.social will air until Saturday, April 19th! So until then, if you can, please continue to tune in and watch. I’m always grateful for the privilege of your time.

🚨BREAKING: Ninth Circuit AFFIRMS lower court decision striking down Arizona voter suppression law H.B. 2492 which imposed unconstitutional and burdensome proof of citizenship requirements. A big victory for our clients and the voters of Arizona. A stinging defeat for the RNC.

I heart Tina Smith.

Cutting $880 billion from Medicaid is going to have a lot of devastating consequences for a lot of people

This is the way.
