A new OMB memo lists programs potentially affected by Trump's (illegal) funding freeze. The list does nothing to dispel confusion, since it includes programs (SNAP, Head Start) that OMB now claims are unaffected. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25... First reported by @jennifershutt.bsky.social

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

No. The Medicaid portals were shut down because the OMB demanded they be. They’re only back up because of the outcry. I’d tell you to stop lying but we know that’s a feature of this administration.

Trump’s Medicaid Freeze Sparks Outrage and Risks Lives Medicaid portals are down after Trump’s funding freeze, cutting access for 79M Americans. Critics call it “a blatant attempt to rip healthcare away.” This reckless move reminds us political games shouldn’t come at the cost of lives and dignity.

Trump’s Spending Freeze Hits Legal Wall A judge blocked Trump’s funding freeze after nonprofits warned of devastating impacts on health care, disaster relief, and services. AG Letitia James called it “unconstitutional,” while Sen. Schumer slammed it as “cruel and lawless.”

Elon Musk, WH Press Secretary, & Fox claimed that Trump had to freeze grants and govt funding because Biden supposedly sent $50 million in condoms to Gaza. Another lie in a firehose of daily lies. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

If you wanted to know how an autocracy would start in America, it begins by releasing violent thugs from prison who beat up police defending Congress, illegally firing every Inspector General, and seizing billions appropriated by Congress for people with no authority to do so.

Ok sure, eggs are more expensive and inflation isn’t lowering, but at least they cut the funding for childhood cancer research, stopped monitoring Bird flu, shutdown Medicaid, stripped hungry kids of their school lunches and took hot meals away from seniors

Trump’s Press Secretary vs. Constitution—Bold Move Karoline Leavitt called birthright citizenship “unconstitutional,” ignoring the 14th Amendment. Rep. Summer Lee posted, “The literal Constitution.” Critics didn’t hold back—because rewriting the Constitution isn’t exactly in her job description.

The Trump Admin seems to be developing a pattern of unleashing their most authoritarian, lawless shit typically around midnight, with no prior announcement to the public or even to Republicans in Congress. What will we wake up to tomorrow?

Here is irony: trump supporters wave the "Don't Tread on Me" flag, but embrace Trump's executive orders, similar to a king's decrees, which tread on the same freedoms the Gadsden Flag symbolizes. Make up your damn minds: You want freedom or fascism?

I'm not good at math, but I'm pretty sure if you cut off Medicaid from 72 million people, some of those people are going to be your own idiot supporters. I'd wager a LOT of them. What a dumb move.

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who agrees that Jim Acosta was one of the few watchable journalists on CNN before they let him go, and MSNBC should prioritize hiring him to replace Andrea Mitchell or Katy Tur. Or BOTH.

It feels to me that the culture has gotten more and more hostile toward reading. 25 years ago, people felt embarrassed for not reading. Now they're proud and they even make wild claims that it's somehow elitist or pretentious.

Trump’s Loyalty Purge: No Critics Allowed Trump says no jobs for anyone tied to Haley, the Cheneys, or other GOP critics. Loyalty over expertise? Imagine passing on talent for independent thought. Governing isn’t a fan club—it’s about serving the country, not just stroking egos.

RFK, Jr. claimed his anti-vax work was a labor of love that cost him friendships. He said he’d never made money from it. But now he admits he made (checks notes) $1.2 million from it. How do you “forget” about that much money?

Shocking Scheme: Anyone Else Agree? Rep. Raskin calls Jack Smith’s report “irrefutable evidence” of Trump’s criminal plan to overturn the 2020 election. From fake electors to witness intimidation, this paints a grim picture of authoritarian threats. Anyone else agree, or are we ignoring the facts?
