To bring back a 2017 term, we've got a "skinny repeal with no replace" bill

For fuck sake.

vote em out drag em out throw em out

Wow, Russ Vought (Trump's budget director) is planning to do "pocket rescissions." This is an illegal practice that'd institute at minimum a 12% cut to any program on the list (larger to anything behind on obligations). GAO, tasked w/ determining ICA violations, has said this practice is illegal.

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency faces criticism as vermin issues emerge at the U.S. Institute of Peace building.

Name them, shame them and call your senators for this #gopbillionairesoverhealthcarebiguglybill #handsoffmyhealthcaregop

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Republican lawmakers in Missouri are trying to trick voters into banning abortion again, just months after voters protected it. It’s a reminder that conservatives don’t want them to have a say on abortion, contributor ‪‪@susanrinkunas.com‬ ‬ writes. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/to-i...

The new GOP slogan (thank you, Joni Ernst.)

JFC Why you guys cannot say something like what the Canadian PM had said @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social @tonyburkemp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social @jasonclaremp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social

Horrible

Russell Vought is probably best known for being an architect of Project 2025 If the mainstream media had covered that seditious plan and the men behind it with the same fervor as they’re now amplifying this ridiculous story about Biden Maybe democracy wouldn’t currently be teetering on a precipice

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!

A hidden measure in the Republican budget bill would crown Trump king https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/may/27/a-hidden-measure-in-the-republican-budget-bill-would-crown-trump-king

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

"It's like the U.S. was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy." #ResistTrump

This was today… Sotally tober… NYT clearly way off base…

GUESS WHO TOLD US WHAT JONI ERNST SAID OUT LOUD?? Rep. Alan Grayson said it IN 2009!!!!!. The Republican plan is Dont' Get Sick. But if you do, Die quickly. Gert it yet? JUST SAY IT and stop dancing around WHO THEY ARE. #RepublicansKillUs www.politico.com/story/2009/0...

Yes, Joni, we’re all going to die. The point is not everyone should die faster and poorer because you gutted their healthcare.

I suggest you read Hannah Arendt or Erich Fromme if you want to understand today. #USDemocracy

New update 🤣💀

Can the resistance organize food trucks to hand out free tacos outside the WH, town halls and anywhere else it might get under the king's skin? And can we start referring to midterms as "TACO Tuesday?"

A Southern elephant seal makes a surprise visit to the residential neighborhood of Gordon's Bay in Cape Town, South Africa, and triggers an almost nine-hour rescue effort to return him to the coast.

if you were still hoping to die from bird flu, I've got some good news for you... HHS cancels nearly $600 million Moderna contract on vaccines for flu pandemics www.statnews.com/2025/05/28/m... via @statnews.com

“The court’s ruling also means that the government may have to pay back duties it has already collected. “Anybody that has had to pay tariffs so far will be able to get them refunded,” said Ilya Somin” www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

When it walks like a duck.. it is a duck... A cut's a cut. How does Speaker think they got to $700 billion in budget reductions from Medicaid WITHOUT cutting Medicaid? He knows better He knows their bill will lead to over 8 million losing Medicaid; another 5 million losing marketplace subsidies

Babies, new moms, and seniors losing their health insurance. That's what Donald Trump considers to be "waste, fraud, and abuse."
