New scoop tonight from @andrewperez.bsky.social and me for @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

No!

This seems like a major escalation

Just imagine the outcry, by both Republicans AND Democrats, if Joe Biden had George Soros or Mark Cuban waltz into the government and tear it apart without any planning or vision. All so the rich could get richer by cutting services to everyday Americans. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #FuckTrump #FuckMusk

In its ongoing mission to shrink the federal government, the Trump administration is now proposing a more than 40% budget cut to the National Institutes of Health - the crown jewel of American medical research. 60 Minutes, Sunday.

I want politics to be about a better everyday life. Here's what that can look like:

Yes! 🎉🎉🎉

No exaggeration, deep sea mining could cause the massive collapse of the entire deep sea ecosystem and food chain. This is an existential risk to every person on this planet. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/c...

"Attorney General shall initiate appropriate action to repeal or amend the implementing regulations for Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for all agencies" What's Title VI? "prohibits discrimination against or otherwise excluding individuals on the basis of race, color, or national origin"

“Call it what it is: a colonization fantasy mixed with billionaire secessionism. And it isn’t just a kooky idea spread by Silicon Valley trolls on the internet. It’s a serious movement—backed by billionaires and powered by ideology. But now — it’s shaping America’s foreign policy.”

The number of #Parkland survivors sharing that they have survived yet another shooting at #FSU breaks my heart to the core. Only in America. As we await verified reports of the tragedy at Florida State, let’s hold the entire community in our thoughts.

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: Australia 0 Canada 0 Denmark 0 Finland 0 France 0 Germany 0 Iceland 0 Ireland 0 Italy 0 Japan 0 Netherlands 0 Norway 0 Portugal 0 Spain 0 Sweden 0 UK 0 United States 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

FACT CHECK, GUYS FACT CHECK

The CDC's cruise ship inspectors have been laid off, as well as agency's head epidemiologist for investigating cruise ship outbreaks That baffled health officials since this program is paid for by cruise ship fees, not taxpayer dollars www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-cru...

Let's speak plainly about what is happening. The First Amendment has been terminated for immigrants.

yeah man, please make my 85 year old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

Trump has once again questioned the US-Japan Alliance: "We defend them but they don't have to defend us...We pay hundreds of billions of dollars to defend them...We pay all the money. They don't pay anything." [Japan pays money to support the US bases. Significantly more than other allies.]

Colorado study shows link between oil and gas development, leukemia in children www.texasstandard.org/stories/oil-...

Trump administration: “Undocumented workers don’t pay taxes.” Also Trump administration: “Can the IRS please give us the data of the undocumented workers that don’t pay taxes?”

PAY ATTENTION!

NEW: @nytimes.com reports that the Trump admin is moving to strip hundreds of thousands of immigrants of Social Security Numbers they got when they were granted work authorization, repurposing a "death master file" to try to erase their previous legal presence in the United States.

congratulations Campus Free Speechers, your guy made future thought crime a thing

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

The president of the United States and his cronies LAUGHING over the million$ they made off the backs of financially devastated hard working Americans due to market manipulation. Hearings, NOW. 😡 @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

It's all a game to billionaires. They only play to win for themselves, not you. You are just a piece they move around the board to do so.

This needs to spread. No fancy words just to the point. Repost, download, pass it on.

🤷🏻‍♀️

this is straightforwardly concentration camp stuff. just in very plain terms: we send people to camps now if we, the government, deem it necessary, without due process. you can file a habeas petition in the united states district court with jurisdiction over el salvador, i guess.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

“But we don’t have the money” they say about housing, health care, and education.

LOL.
