From Reagan to Trump, Bruce Springsteen isn’t afraid of taking on the president. The latest from the Boss: a live EP of 4 songs and 2 anti-Trump intros to said songs.

Instead of holding Trump accountable for his corruption, MAGA Republicans are about to vote to gut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts that will help the wealthiest Americans. While we lose access to health care, billionaires get tax breaks. Make that make sense.

FIRE to destroy all you've done. youtu.be/YzHtePuz13U?...

It's a bribe, it's a plane, it's a cartoon cliché!

"You think Nature is some Disney movie? Nature is a killer. Nature is a bitch. It's feeding time out there 24 hours a day, every step that you take is a gamble with death. If it isn't getting hit with lightning today, it's an earthquake tomorrow or some deer tick carrying Lyme disease." - Adam

The combined wealth of the 10 richest US billionaires increased by over $360 billion in the last year according to a new Oxfam report. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans don't earn enough to afford basic costs of living. Our nation's raging inequality is on full display.

Trump just accepted a $400M bribe from Qatar. At the same time, he's strong-arming Republicans into passing his tax scam that rips health care away from 14 million Americans. While the president screws over working families, he's all smiles as he cashes in on the presidency.

“.. would also mark the first time in the history of SNAP that the federal government would no longer ensure children in every state have access to food benefits ..” @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2025/05/21/s...

Trump will host a private dinner tomorrow for the top buyers of his memecoin, which has made him the world's newest crypto billionaire. The top 25 coin buyers will get a "VIP White House tour." Call it what it is: corruption.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this.

If you're proud of something, you want people to see it. You don't start the committee at one o'clock in the morning, hoping people won't be tuned in. Here's what Republicans are trying to hide: The largest cuts to Medicaid and food assistance in American history. - @congressmanboyle.bsky.social

From the comments: “I would not qualify for the COVID vaccine under these new regulations, but… I regularly visit my octogenarian parents in their retirement home, I work with young children… I should be able to get the vaccine to help minimize transmission and keep those around me safe.”

Angie Craig: "I have no idea why we think it's a good idea to repeal a tax on silencers when we are going to feed fewer children in our country as a result of this. It's a moral damn failure is what it is."

The Guardian has details on the criminal investigation into United Healthcare, including stationing their employees to prevent patients in nursing homes from being sent to hospitals for urgent care...no care, more profit for UHC. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Big Ugly Bill slashes nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid and SNAP, cutting household resources for working families by up to 4% by 2033. Meanwhile, the top 10% gain from tax breaks. Working families lose healthcare so the wealthy can pay less in taxes.

‘It’s not a game’: Sen. Tammy Baldwin grilled RFK Jr. over health department cuts during a Senate hearing Tuesday. Baldwin joins @allinwithchris.bsky.social to discuss the HHS secretary’s testimony. WATCH: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DgE...

Republican Senator Josh Hawley had to publicly beg for FEMA assistance to show up in Missouri. Tell me again how Donald Trump is fixing FEMA and making America great? 🙄

Rep. Katherine Clark (D-Massachusetts): The federal government doesn't pay for abortion care. So what does the "Big Beautiful Bill" actually do? It defunds women's healthcare.

Psst…bad news about sea level. 🌊

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

You can tell that the One Big Beautiful Bill* is truly beautiful because they’re holding the hearing after midnight * Yes, that’s actually the name

Kash Patel has shut down the FBI’s Internal Auditing Office, which overseas compliance with surveillance laws. In light of his previous comments about coming after rivals and journalists, the red flags are flying high. My thoughts in @Cafe.dot.com. @Vox.

Trump illegally fired surveillance watchdog agency’s Democrats, judge rules. How the case could impact the rest of the Trump administration’s control of independent federal agencies 👇

ZELDIN: I understand you're an aspiring fiction writer. I see why. SCHIFF: I understand your view that you can cut half of the agency and it won't affect people's health or their water or their air. That to me is a big fiction ... you could give a rat's ass about how much cancer your agency causes

You might think that people working on NIH-supported research are highly compensated, overpaid, or pursuing science for financial gain. But this is a myth.

Trump's financial ties to the Middle East—which include developments, golf courses and crypto—make it difficult to determine whether he’s acting in the best interest of the American people or his businesses.

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?"

Boyle: "This is really the breaking news ... because of the size of the deficits, because of the paygo act, that would trigger sequestration of Medicare, and it would total over $500 billion. The official figure that CBO confirms is $535 billion in cuts to Medicare."

pure wickedness

The Republican budget might be big, but it's far from beautiful. Budget Democrats are united in fighting their backroom deal which strips health care from millions, gives trillions in giveaways to billionaires, and explodes the national debt. We will fight it to the very end.

Dozens of NIH staffers walked out of Director Jay Bhattacharya’s first town hall today when he pushed the conspiracy theory that COVID-19 originated from an NIH-funded laboratory. The director later faced interruptions over his defense of research cuts. www.importantcontext.news/p/i-believe-...

(1/3) I introduced legislation with @vanhollen.senate.gov to award Henrietta Lacks the #CongressionalGoldMedal in recognition of her "HeLa cells" which have made contributions to global health, scientific research, quality of life, and patients’ rights.

Bruce Springsteen 2/4: "In America, the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world’s poorest children to sickness and death. This is happening now. "In my country, they are taking sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers (more)

omg, this person is dead on arrival.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

remember what i said about RFK Jr. being a eugenicist first and foremost? www.marketwatch.com/story/agency...

“Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”
