For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Moskowitz: "Nothing has been made more efficient. Here are the wins for congressional Rs. You ready? They're gonna do a $9b recession bill. They're gonna get rid of Elmo, which the American people were clamoring for, but they're gonna add $2.4t for the debt. And then they want us to cheer for them."

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

Fact Checker by Glenn Kessler: The White House’s campaign against the Congressional Budget Office is veering into the ridiculous. What they call a “verifiable fact” is a nonsense fact.

Medicaid covers 1 in 5 Americans. That’s over 70 million people. Kids. Seniors. People with disabilities. HANDS OFF MEDICAID.

Oh, you don’t feel comfortable going to your gay son’s wedding? How sad for you. Parents, if that’s you—suck it up and show up for your kid. You’ll survive. Their day isn’t about you.

Very Well Said…. Let’s Do This!😊💙

How many times don't we use this to bombard the rt wing with it? This might actually get through. I had a full ride to a great NYS school- if you didn't, tuition was, get this- under $300. This is what fully funded by taxes can do.

That's why.

You know what a "real President" a "strong leader" would do? He would warn Putin to not retaliate and make clear that any significant escalation on the part of Russia will be met by a counter-response. But Trump is a weak, cowardly fake president.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

here's today's post: "no gay boat for the Navy, because what if it turns all the other boats gay" — we’re trapped in the dumbest possible timeline. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

Fun to watch this implode (Important caveat the richest man in the world has messed up the federal government in ways, We have almost no concept of yet.)

If right-wingers actually wanted to support families, they’d be backing family-level wages, free child care, and Medicare for all. Everything else is political BS. jimhightower.substack.com/p/right-wing...

Perfect.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

VAN HOLLEN: I'm simply asking you to provide the committee with a reorganization plan, and your response is 'maybe yes, maybe no.' Am I getting that right? LUTNICK: We're going to follow the law VAN HOLLEN: The law requires to you to submit these major changes to the Senate

NYT, Page One: “Within hours, he had an email from China, offering to move his lab to ‘any city, any university I want,’ he said, with a guarantee of funding for the next 20 years.” @nytimes.com

Someone just sent me a group email making the case for Jamie Dimon for president. No. No more rich oligarchs

13-yr-old Camarria Williams made a remarkable discovery when she found a compound with potential cancer-fighting properties in goose poop from Garfield Park, Chicago. This surprising find happened while participating in the Chicago Antibiotic Discovery Lab, a STEM program in collaboration with the

1/ New in the Abrego Garcia case, the Judge has just granted his lawyers' request for permission to file sanctions against the government, which is very unusual.

This seems important from Jake Sherman

shout out to all the writers and artists who take forever to finish something. I get it, bro. I take a long time too. but your worth as a writer/artist isn't built upon production. so just keep striding it out. keep taking those steps. we each have our own race track. we'll get to the finish line

New peonies are blooming. Planted these last year and they didn’t bloom as they were adjusting. Nice to see how gorgeous these flowers are turning out.

The woman who shouted "people will die" at Joni Ernst, India May, is a nurse and a librarian who first got involved in politics by going to a town hall about bills aiming to defund libraries. Now she's running for state house. eu.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

KENNEDY: If Vietnam came to you and said, 'You win. We're gonna remove all tariffs and all trade barriers. Would the US please do the same?" Would you accept that deal? LUTNICK: Absolutely not. That would be the silliest thing we could do KENNEDY: What's the purpose of reciprocity then?

Proud dad moment. Congratulations, Gus!

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people
