STORY —> GOP bill for Trump's agenda would add $2.4 trillion to the debt, budget office says The nonpartisan CBO also found that the House-passed legislation would increase the number of people without health insurance by 10.9 million by 2034. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Weather Service offices in Miami, Jacksonville, Puerto Rico and Houston “lack at least a third of all the meteorologists required... “The Nat’l Hurricane Center is short 5 specialists, despite assurances from the Trump administration that it is fully staffed.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but. It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI

not a data take but this is fucked up. cutting food benefits to poor moms, infants, and toddlers is pointlessly cruel. not a partisan issue, just straightforwardly fucked. the cruelty is the point. call your congressperson

Trump has canceled a major US research program working on a vaccine for HIV, derailing deacdes of hard-won advancements.

If this is even remotely accurate, Elon Musk and Donald Trump have killed more people in several months than the Iraq war killed in a decade

NEW: We obtained DHS data that shows the US knew only 32 of the 238 Venezuelans deported to a prison in El Salvador in March were convicted of US crimes, only 6 of those violent. Trump called them “savages,” “monsters” and "the worst of the worst.” www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Same! Pell grants made a 4 year university possible for me. Future students should have the same opportunity and access to Pell grants.

Deconstruction. It’s the era of deconstruction. Deconstructing the administrative state, liberalism, our alliances, the economy, 80 years of post-war consensus and American hegemony, the social safety net (meager though it was), healthcare, vaccine preventable diseases, research & much much more.

“No children are dying on my watch,” said Rubio. It's blatantly false. Credible estimates count 190K deaths so far. In Kenya, I am seeing devastating impact, incl this child's starvation & many deaths directly caused by Rubio’s actions. More in my @msnbc.com clip. www.instagram.com/atul.gawande...

This! I hate all this too (+ few more for good measure). Except idgaf if I come off as a luddite. I use enough tech, don’t care. Rather, I understand why something that is bs, grift, or is toxic for workers/people/society is bad. I don’t want to use them or have it flourish.

United Healthcare set quotas for the maximum number of hospitalizations they would allow for critically ill nursing patients. They changed patient records to DNR to prevent life-saving medical intervention. And they coerced nursing staff to leak patient data and fabricated records to sell more plans

The fascist win if you lose your compassion for other people. That's part of the war. You have to keep compassion.

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

ICE Refuses to Allow Mahmoud Khalil to Hold His Newborn Son www.nyclu.org/press-releas...

Omg yes. And when it is tech-bros pro and operations-y folks con, I’ll give you one guess who almost always wins. It’s infuriating!

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

This is unfettered, monstrous cruelty. Her poor family- her mother who says this is torture, her little son who just thinks his mama is sleeping. Adriana Smith deserved better in life & in her time of needed medical intervention. Now, she deserves to be treated with dignity in her death.

BREAKING: Authorities say explosion outside of Palm Springs fertility clinic was an "intentional act of terrorism"

This is so dangerous! The California Central Valley, foothills, western Sierra & eastern Coast range are in that red blob over Ca. Many of Ca largest fires - August Complex (2020), Dixie (2021), Park (2024) fires & others + most deadly Camp fire (2018) - ALL happened within that area in Ca.

so the members of congress just stopped going to el salvador and not a single person who was illegally sent there has been returned and that’s just how it is now?

All bribery is corruption. But not all corruption is bribery. Corruption can also be *inappropriate gifts, influence peddling,* defrauding people, embezzlement & more. Plus just the *appearance of impropriety* is in many US laws.

Rümeysa Öztürk has been freed!!

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Today is just filled with scenes of state terror our neighborhoods. It is chilling. It is terror. It is fascism.

Read the Judge's straightforward words today as he ordered the release of Rumeysa Ozturk: "There has been no evidence that has been introduced by the government other than the op-ed. I mean, that literally is the case."

In a democracy, the agents of the state should not be able to conceal their identity. The entire purpose of these actions is to escape accountability.

This is so disgusting. They are bringing white Afrikaners, under the guise of a white supremacist propaganda & lies. At the same time, refuse aid to *actual* refugees - in desperate need or real help - & halted the settlement of basically all real refugees from around the world to the US.

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

This piece on AI slop as the aesthetics of fascism is so good!Well worth your time.

This was vital public service journalism at its finest. Please read the stories (in the ProPublica thread). Learn about these women. Understand how the dangerous abortion bans and restrictions cause very real harm, trauma, and death.

New from 404 Media: the Signal clone the Trump administration uses was just hacked. TeleMessage makes a modified version of Signal that archives messages for government agencies, Waltz used it. A hacker got some users' messages, group chats. Hugely significant breach www.404media.co/the-signal-c...

I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

Mohsen Mahdawi is free! History was made in Vermont today. #FreeThemAll

Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian Columbia student who had been detained by immigration authorities when he went in for his U.S. citizenship interview, has been released after a federal judge's order on Wednesday.

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months
