It's remarkable how much of this administration's agenda has been laser focused on simply making life worse for ordinary Americans.

MUST WATCH: WATCH: The GOP is in open civil war—not to protect Americans, but to decide how many MILLIONS of sick, disabled, and low-income people they’ll throw off Medicaid like yesterday’s trash. They’re not hiding it. They want you to suffer.

Most of the country has moved on from this story Perhaps distracted by the Qatar jet scandal or the clearly unconstitutional Executive Order on birthright citizenship While hundreds of immigrants rot in El Salvadoran because the Trump administration violated their due process rights UNACCEPTABLE

WATCH: “The politics of this are so bad it literally blows my mind.” Republicans cutting Medicaid by $880 BILLION to slash taxes for the rich is wildly unpopular — and @MarshaBlackburn’s office just admitted it is their plan. 1 million Tennesseans are on Medicaid.

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?

in addition to him repeating insane racist conspiracy theories, it occurs to me that the reason he has time to hold long press conferences everyday is that he doesn’t actually do anything

We’ve become so desensitized to corruption that the Attorney General who spent years lobbying on behalf of Qatar approved a private jet gift from Qatar and it’s not even in the top 10 scandals of the week.

Alcatraz, Gulf of America, a third term, being Pope. All distractions. So well done to the oldest Sunday newspaper in the world for focusing on a story that matters. Trump Inc and the new age of corruption.

Has anyone asked the Department of Homeland Security why the agents it hires for ICE, HSI, etc. are so cowardly, weak and out-of-shape that a) they won't even show their faces in public and b) they need to pretend they were "assaulted" by two woman members of Congress, one of whom is 80 years old?

Big shout out to @awlarlington.bsky.social (and @arlingtondes.bsky.social) for rescuing this female Cape May warbler yesterday. She was tangled way up in a tree with thread wrapped around one leg. AWLA does a fantastic job of caring for wildlife. If you live Arlington VA, consider donating. #birds
