This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey. They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

About half of all births are covered by Medicaid. Over a third of all kids have health care thanks to Medicaid. More than half of all nursing home residents are covered by Medicaid. So understand this: when the GOP attacks Medicaid, they attack families in every community.

Telling people to “do your own research” when in reality it means embracing disinformation from uncredentialed wellness grifters trying to peddle non-proven alternatives, and ignoring decades of rigorous peer-reviewed work from scientific experts, will kill people.

Pete Hegseth is treating the Pentagon like it’s a Fox News set—ordering a makeup studio while leaking sensitive information in Signal chats. This is what happens when you put clout-chasers in charge of national security.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism. 1. It’s not a disease 2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

Republicans voted today to add over $5 trillion to debt to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Here’s a scale for that: a million seconds is eleven days; a billion seconds is 31 years; a trillion seconds is nearly 320 centuries. They are looting the country for big donors.

1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed. Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance. My org @mmfa.bsky.social did this study and has been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

Democrats cannot give a blank check to Trump and Elon Musk to continue their destruction of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and more. We have to stand up for the American people. Senate Democrats must hold the line and vote NO on this Republican spending bill.

Thank you @chrislhayes.bsky.social for covering what's going on here in Montana. Since picking up 10 seats in November, MT Dems have made incredible policy progress in the House.

Dislike this idea intensely. A lot of folks need help and don't have/can't use computers. As for in-office visits: How are recipients in rural areas supposed to make office visits when regional field offices are also being axed?

The "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" boils down to this: Taxpayer money is being STOLEN, without congressional approval, to artificially boost the value of a highly speculative financial asset. You can like that asset, you can dislike that asset, that's your own business. But this is open embezzlement.

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor. The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes! This is the power of representation.
