These Medicaid cuts will be extremely bad and they’re just to offset tax cuts for very wealthy people www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Van Hollen: "Trump's visit to the Middle East- my view is the narrative here was selling out US national interests for the private gain of his business. He essentially gave away the crown jewels of US AI and semiconductor tech to the gulf in exchange for a $2b investment in his stablecoin venture"

Exactly - what happened to "America First"? A big beautiful AI research center... in Dubai? Wasn't Trump supposed to bring manufacturing to US shorter bigger and better than Biden did? #PromisesMade #PromisesBroken #AmericaFirst #TrumpLiedAgain

Reminder: cis men who are not married to/dating a cis woman whose data it could be, one simple thing you can do is download a period tracker and use it to track literally anything. Days you saw a Cybertruck. Days your boss was a fuckbucket. Days you didn't get a fundraiser text from the Democrats.

The future belongs to the collective. But first, we need to shepherd our children through any potential collapse instead of shielding them. Parenting is political. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. We are raising critical thinking Democrats. #MomSky #Voices4Victory

If we were still a democracy the GOP would not be proceeding with a budget that will hurt virtually every American except a handful of the richest and most powerful. But they don’t work for the voters. They work for their donors.

#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue So the political party of “blue lives matter” who beat police officers to death with the American Flag and then pardoned the same individuals who beat those police officers to death says they’ll never betray law enforcement…except you already did. How Shameful 😤

This was a visit to his business partners to arrange pickup of his free plane and to introduce Musk to possible investors. Of course he would think it was successful. What did the American people get from this trip? Not a damn thing. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #MomSky

📌QUESTION: Why doesn't the fucking press make more of the fact that Trump is completely incapable of getting any kind of meaningful legislation passed? He leans on EOs because he is a polarizing asshole who can't build consensus. He's not a "deal-maker" he is a constipated, ineffective wannabe king.

Trump is trying to make it easier to fire statisticians if their numbers don’t fit his story. That’s a huge threat to trust in our economic data and the people who work hard to keep it honest. This kind of move could mess with how we understand the economy big time.

Total Government Waste! Trump is hijacking the Army’s 250th Anniversary to celebrate himself, similar to dictators he admires. Plans include 7,500 cots to DC office buildings for soldiers. The price tag for the affair: $30 million, expected to rise to $45 million. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

🧵 A tiny baby. Not breathing. The desperate mom pulls into a shuttered ER. Nurses—off duty, protesting the closure—rush to save her child. THIS is the future the GOP is pushing: Medicaid gutted so millionaires have tax cuts. Closed hospitals. Dead children. And they do. not. care.

In the days of yore, this would end a political career. A DNI firing intel officials who reported something in contrast to a president trying to abuse emergency powers. We're the frogs and the water is at a rolling boil, folks.

Unconfirmable creep Ed Martin now says he will use the Dept of Justice to “name and shame” people against whom he can’t prove a criminal case. That’s precisely what DOJ does not do. If you can’t make your case, you thank the agents, shut up and move on.

Let’s break this down. The Felon is deporting kids and Mothers while allowing the bloodiest gang to enter America. He’s accepting a plane from the country who had the majority of pilots flying into our buildings on 9/11. Y’all catching up? #DemVoice1 #Voices4Victory

🧵 Two days ago, Rev. Melech E.M. Thomas, pastor of Baltimore’s iconic Payne Memorial AME Church, opened his door to a DHS agent. Why? Because he dared to criticize ICE on social media. This is the knock at the door Black America knows too well. If you think this isn’t authoritarianism, wake up.

Moskowitz: "Donald Trump said he's not cutting Medicaid. That's what he's been saying, and yet Republicans come with almost $800 billion of Medicaid cuts, which is what Democrats have been talking about for the last five months. There are members here who have said they're not gonna cut Medicaid."
