A new analysis from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office shows that the $880 billion Republicans plan to cut from Medicaid would remove millions of enrollees from the program, not cut “fraud, waste and abuse,” as they claim.

@dadadrummer.bsky.social Hi Damon! My dad was a drummer too!

Chicago? Seriously? I was hoping they'd pick a St. Louis Cardinal.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

NEW: The shuttered DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties “was one of the very few tools we had to check ICE, to hold ICE accountable,” immigration lawyer Sophia Genovese said. “Now you see them speeding to complete authoritarianism.” By @davidmcswane.bsky.social & @hannahallam.bsky.social

The Budget Lab @budgetlab.bsky.social from Yale estimates that all the tariffs enacted by Donald Trump in 2025 will cost US households $3800 a year on average

RIP Elvis Ramone 💔

just took a moment to deactivate the google AI summaries on chrome on my phone; you can do the same, very easily, and I recommend it!
