Damn. This is dramatic. I had heard a couple days ago that a Nadler staffer had been arrested but was waiting for confirmation. So now we know what happened; ICE officers barged into the district office trying to arrest other people, handcuffed a staffer who pushed back, then let her go, no arrest.

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.

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

This is the weaponization of government—full stop. If you speak out against them—or in this case do your job—they will come for you. What we’re seeing with @replamonica.bsky.social is a political stunt, and we won’t stand for it.

After-tax income under the Trump/GOP budget: -People making less than $17/k year: LOSE $1000 -People making between $17k and $51k/yr: LOSE $700 -People making over $4.3M/year: GAIN $389,000 This is what class warfare looks like.

A woman is dead, kept alive as an incubator. Her family can’t grieve. This isn’t pro-life. It’s control. It’s cruelty. It’s stripping women of agency...even in death. If you support this, you’re complicit. Stand up. Speak out. Fight back. Or admit you’re okay with our girls having no rights.

Random reminder that banning members of Congress from trading stock is a total no brainer. They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

Our hearts go out to the incredible folks at NIOSH. On Friday night, most remaining staff were laid off—gutting programs that protect workers, like PPE approvals and firefighter health research. RFKJ’s HHS tried to downplay it on X, brushing it off as just a “required notice.” Total BS.

Huge thank you to the states suing over cuts to HHS. RFKJ quietly fired the rest of the staff at CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Friday evening. NIOSH was established by congress with the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. apnews.com/article/laws...
