Putting Oz in charge of Medicare and Medicaid for millions of Americans is a grave mistake.

Donald the "strongman" is too weak to get the wrongfully deported safely returned? THIS is why we have been screaming about due process. Pam Bondi and Trump need to be held accountable for this. Tar and feather is too good for them.

Today is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. March 29 was chosen as the date for this observance because on March 29, 1973, the last U.S. combat troops departed the Republic of Vietnam. Please take a moment today to honor and remember the men and women who served in the Vietnam War.

BREAKING: DOGE is starting to put together a team to migrate the SSA's computer systems entirely off one of its oldest programming languages in a matter of months, potentially putting the integrity of the system—and the benefits on which tens of millions of Americans rely—at risk.

SCOOP: A WIRED review of public data shows that national security adviser Mike Waltz, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and other top officials left sensitive information exposed via Venmo—until WIRED asked about it.

JUST IN: The FDA's top vaccine official has resigned, accusing anti-vaxxer HHS Secretary RFK Jr. of wanting nothing more than a "subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies."

•••••BREAKING••••• Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has forced the nation’s top vaccine regulator to RESIGN. Peter Marks, an architect of the U.S. program to rapidly develop coronavirus vaccines, has been pushed out of the FDA — a terrifying development that comes…

Here's a statement from Democratic FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter responding to the Trump administration's attempt to fire her.

“Steve Bannon on mass deportations to El Salvador: ‘If there's some innocent gardeners in there? Hey, tough break for a swell guy.’” 3/17/25 h/t @jvagle.me www.mediamatters.org/steve-bannon...

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

“Abortion: El Salvador’s jailed women offer US glimpse of post-Roe future *** ‘Don’t let our reality become your reality,’ campaigners warn after woman is freed after decade behind bars for medical emergency ruled attempted murder” 5/19/22 www.theguardian.com/world/2022/m...

Musk and Trump want to wreck Social Security’s ability to function so they can rob it. Rise up and stop the steal of your Social Security. popular.info/p/exclusive-...

The Democrats are lucky to have a politician like @aoc.bsky.social in this moment.

Marco Rubio defends deporting Mahmoud Khalil by saying "they" did bad things: "These guys take over entire buildings. They vandalize colleges. They shut down colleges.” Rubio is point blank saying you don't need to do anything wrong personally-simply being associated with a cause is enough

Every politician needs to hear this. Then play it back and listen to it again. @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social

@sanders.senate.gov Fighting Oligarchy Rally in Wisconsin. 3/7/25 @democrats.org Look what Bernie Sanders is doing—Bernie asked the crowd to yell what stresses them out the most. This is brilliant. We. Need. More. Of. This. 🎥WintersPolitics (1:2)🧵

just taking tonight to really appreciate all these years of journalistic tut-tut-tutting about how over-the-top it was for anyone to focus on trump's affinity for russia and putin.

Schiff: Those are the comments of an ignoramus. Article Five has been invoked just once. It’s been invoked over Afghanistan—when we were attacked, and our NATO allies came to help defend us.

Today I’m angry. Enough of this criminal bullshit. I want that level of anger from our leaders.

This is utterly heartless.

If a university spokesperson was doing this it would be national news, and used as justification for the federal government to defund the university. The truth is that antisemitism is just one of the excuses they are using to justify destroying independent institutions.

Wow. Has a lawyer who is member of the D.C. bar represented to a sitting federal judge in court that Amy Gleason is the Administrator of “DOGE”?

If You Can't Fire Employees Fast Enough, Just Sell The Buildings! Bloomberg reports that the Trump admin tried to sell 443 government properties and structures in mass offerings. The properties were listed Tues and pulled off the market by Wed morning. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I had missed Slotkin’s response last night, but one of my kids sent it to me this morning because it is spreading on TikTok. This is about the best rebuttal I can remember. A star is born! youtube.com/watch?v=iOhe...

NEWS: The USAID official put on leave for disseminating two memos about Rubio's failure to push through life-saving foreign aid was in the process of writing a THIRD memo when fired. We obtained it. It's far more alarming than the first two. www.thebulwark.com/p/what-a-wee...

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Dear RFK Jr., vitamins don’t prevent measles. Vaccines do. Pass it on.

What AOC said. Dammit.

Never forgive, never forget

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

This is what America's conservative "Christians" are doing to the planet's most vulnerable children.

Remember when the orange convicted felon promised his MAGA base a great healthcare plan? I do, and now he is destroying Medicaid. It’s a death cult of deranged idiots who want to lose everything to see others suffer.

LOL the viral town halls that Republicans *swore* weren’t a problem have become so disastrous that the GOP is now encouraging their members to avoid them - and their constituents - altogether. Like that is gonna stop us. They can run but they can’t hide. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
