The Republican reconciliation bill which makes massive cuts to Medicaid in order to pay for huge tax breaks for billionaires is not just bad public policy. It is not just immoral. It is a death sentence for struggling Americans.

Communities aren’t staying silent about ICE… 18-year-old Massachusetts high school student Marcelo Gomes was taken by ICE on his way to volleyball practice Saturday morning. No word on where he’s being held. Marcelo missed graduation today, so Milford HS graduates marched to rally in solidarity.

Annie by far would be the funniest senator. And if there were a medical emergency she could help with that, too. No need for constituents to die prematurely and unnecessarily!

The Russian military has suffered damage worth more than $2bn as a result of the operation Web strikes. The aircraft hit reportedly includes the A-50 radar surveillance plane, as well as Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 strategic bombers — key to Russia’s air assault operations against civilians in Ukraine.

“Penn Wharton, Trump's alma mater, finds that most households earning less than $51,000 will immediately see their after-tax income drop. Meanwhile, the bill boosts incomes of members of the top 1% by nearly $70,000 in the first year alone…” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Early rumors are that up to 40 Russian strategic bombers were destroyed in one of the most audacious operations I’ve ever seen. Get fucked, Vlad.

Ukraine could’ve launched the attack on civilian population centers, like Russia does to them daily. Instead, they chose a strictly military target - the very bombers being used to kill Ukrainian civilians. A brilliant operation solely designed to defend their own people.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

"The shooter later called 911 on himself. When the police arrived, he surrendered his firearm, and law enforcement took him into custody—but then, after questioning him, the police released the shooter without charges." Why?

In the alleged Land of the Free, your failure to have a social media account, or your decision to keep that account private, can and will be used against you. No Facebook, Insta, or X account? You're probably hiding something, according to the Trump admin, so maybe no visa for you.

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

By firing IRS auditors who went after wealthy tax cheats, Elon Musk's DOGE could cost up to $323 billion in tax revenue over the next 10 years. It was never about being efficient or effective. www.cbsnews.com/news/irs-dog...
