Palestinians gunned down while trying to reach food aid site in Gaza, hospital says

"California Republican Reps. David Valadao and Young Kim's districts are among the highest Medicaid enrollment rates in the state. In an April 14 letter, both said they were against the bill if it included Medicaid cuts — but then they voted for the bill anyway..." www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

JD Vance visited Dachau. Then he met with German far-right political leader. www.ncronline.org/opinion/gues...

Wow. Just wow.

Trump melts down over recent court losses, attacking the Federalist Society, pushing junk legal theories on tariffs, and demanding millions from CBS for “emotional distress.” Legal AF breaks down this and more at 8p ET/5p PT!

You’d need an honorary GED to think that made sense. Appreciate the repost though!

If June 14th landed on a Tuesday, we’d have had the most patriotic TACO Tuesday in history. Missed it by that much.

If you voted for this you own this. www.bu.edu/articles/202...

Elon Musk grabbed our personal information, and now, Peter Thiel's Palantir appears to be one of the vehicles Trump will employ to use it against us. Don't worry; they'll continue reassuring us it will only be used to create a better world. (For them.)

President Trump's new pardon attorney, Ed Martin, described the men convicted of plotting to kidnap Gov. Whitmer as "victims just like January 6" and said that "on the pardon front, we can't leave these guys behind." www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...

Israel's blockade on medical supplies was always indefensible. They never really tried to defend it. They just thought no one would notice, or care, or say anything. But someone did. So now they may simply end it. Just like that. What a sick farce.

This is why Trump called the Vietnamese “great people.”

The extremists House GOP actually passed this bill with this language buried in it. Let that sink in folks. A bill promoting #autocracy. Call your senators first thing Tuesday morning. #Resist #BudgetBill

The US is now complicit in the deaths of Ukrainians as Trump ONCE AGAIN does not sanction Russia despite his so called “red line.” He is the weakest so called leader America has had in its history.

Watch what they do, not what they say 👇 The party that claims to "back the blue" and promised to reduce crime is slashing public safety funding. Read more here: bit.ly/4dDER9u #ResistTrump

Wilson also recently amplified neo-Nazi conspiracy theories about Leo Frank, a Jewish man lynched by an antisemitic mob in Marietta, Georgia, a century ago. The case helped lead to the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan.

Why did six House Republicans who promised to oppose Medicaid cuts vote for the "big beautiful bill"? It could be because the bill now contains an expanded "pass-through" tax deduction that would personally benefit them. Follow the money.

A new Florida law sharply limits citizen-led ballot initiatives, threatening fines and criminal charges for petition organizers. Advocates say it’s an effort to silence voters after progressive wins at the ballot box. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/gop...

Trump tried to falsify intelligence reports to show that Tren de Aragua is here on orders from the Venezuelan government to justify disappearing people under the Alien Enemies Act. Andy McCabe and I will discuss on tomorrow's UnJustified Podcast. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u...

He followed the rules. He was arrested during a routine appointment to finalize his citizenship, according to multiple media reports. These are not the people we should be deporting! #ICE #AmericanShame #TrumpsAmerica ktla.com/news/man-31-...

If by “we” you mean, you, billionaires and lobbyists, then sure!

The "big, beautiful bill" is a big, ugly, disgusting mess. Here's why.

ACTIONS MEET CONSEQUENCES… North Carolina voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024—now he’s denying the state’s FEMA request. Again. Reminder: Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) and Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) voted against FEMA funding on September 25, 2024.

I'd rather not live in a version of the US where it'll be legal again for insurance companies to reject covering me due to diagnoses I have. That was the norm before the Affordable Care Act.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts predominantly for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Several guests who attended Trump's crypto dinner last night said they attended with the explicit intent of influencing him and U.S. financial regulations. Trump is selling access to our government to the highest bidder while lining his own pockets. It's all out in the open.

Trump’s evidence of South Africa ‘white genocide’ contains images from Democratic Republic of Congo

The new tax shelter scheme Tom Barrett and other MI GOP reps voted for to force DeVos school vouchers into Michigan would give wealthy folks tax credits for donating to a voucher middleman group—up to 3x larger than they could get for giving to a children’s charity or a veterans group.

I caught up with @kamlager-dove.house.gov on the Capitol subway to get her take on the GOP budget bill. Her review? “Batshit. Bonkers. Bananas!” Check it out!

Has DHS stated a reason why ICE agents are masked and do not have identification clearly displayed? Was Kristi "Cosplay" Noem asked about this during the hearing? 🦋 bsky.app/profile/reic...

House Republicans passed a budget that would kick millions of children and seniors off their health care, gut SNAP food assistance and more. Any member of Congress who votes for this bill is voting to betray working people—and we won’t forget. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Poland intercepts sanctioned Russian shadow fleet ship: Sanctioned Russian “shadow fleet” ship caught lurking near the Poland-Sweden power cable, prompting swift Polish military intervention and renewed NATO warnings.

“Six years ago, I found myself face to face with a white farmer preparing for the government to take his land. This did not happen in South Africa. It was in South Texas, and it was because of Trump…” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

Did you know that tens of thousands of active duty service members and their families rely on SNAP?

#ICYMI: NEA sued and won a preliminary injunction blocking the Trump administration’s attempt to restrict curriculum and educational programs based on “certain DEI” efforts.

News media that constantly amplify unverified claims by the world's biggest liar are complicit in his lies.

Takano: This bill will hurt veterans. 1.5 million veterans get their healthcare through Medicaid. They are slashing programs to try to pay for these tax cuts—except they’re not actually paying for them. It’s going to create additional deficits, which means all of the cuts are only a partial payment.

Republicans aren't just getting Medicaid - they are coming after Medicare as well! We pay into Medicare with every single paycheck! #StopTheBillionaireBailout #Medicarecuts
