This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Gary is wondering where all the little birds that right there a minute ago went. I just can’t imagine, Gary 🙄 🪶

House Republicans just took the first step towards passing their plans to cut health care and hike the cost of groceries for millions of people. Why? To pay for tax giveaways for billionaires and billionaire corporations. Working people won't forget this. We need to fight back.

There is no movie for this. All through my life American culture has conjured up images of its own demise. But no Dr Strangelove, Fatal Impact, Manchurian Candidate et al imagined a portion of the US electorate gleefully welcoming oblivion in the arms of its enemy. There is no movie for this

Look at this leader. Lift her up.

According to the NY Times (and its UN vote), America’s new friends under Trump (instead of under God) are Russia and North Korea.

This is Ralph. His body composition is approximately 40% ear. But that does not mean he wants to listen to your podcast. 12/10 (IG: ralph_kd0821)

From the brilliant minds behind "THERE ARE OBVIOUS INNATE UNCHANGEABLE BIOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE SEXES!", we now get "It is only necessary to perform scientific testing for one of them (male, obviously)"

The outpouring of support has been overwhelming and incredibly moving. 💙 The @katiephangshow.bsky.social will air until Saturday, April 19th! So until then, if you can, please continue to tune in and watch. I’m always grateful for the privilege of your time.

A Southwest Airlines plane was forced to abort its landing this morning after a private jet taxied in front of it across the runway at Midway Airport in Chicago. Whatever that guy from The Real World is doing with the FAA has gotta stop.

Sepsis, a life-threatening condition that can be linked to untreated pregnancy complications, increased by 55% among second-trimester pregnancy loss patients after Texas’ abortion ban in 2021. Maternal mortality in Texas also rose by 56% from 2019 to 2022, per ProPublica. ground.news/article/prop...

MSNBC worries about the perception that they’re not fair to R’s while Fox eats an $800m libel settlement to preserve its ability to lie about Ds. That’s the asymmetry that gives illiberalism a structural advantage. open.substack.com/pub/readtpa/...

A federal judge has set a hard deadline for compliance with his existing restraining order over USAID funding. He wants receipts of what the government has done to comply with his earlier 2/13 restraining order. (1/2)

Remarkable resignation letter from the Justice Department's chief information officer in the immigration review division — a disabled veteran. Obtained by @propublica.org's Brett Murphy:

Luke Farritor is not “letting them die”, he is actively breaking the law and withholding life saving meds from the most vulnerable. He is actively killing people on Musk’s orders. This is a death squad. We won’t forget his face or his crimes. #vlakplas #doge #warcrimes

Jeffries: "Let me be clear -- House Democrats will not provide a single vote to this reckless Republican budget. Not one. Not one."

From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.

All out of tiny violins

This is the way.

CLAIM: The House budget resolution (H Con Res 14) doesn't touch Medicaid. FACT: The resolution directs the Energy & Commerce committee, which oversees Medicaid, to find $880 billion in cuts, and Republicans have openly called for spending less on Medicaid. Connect the dots.

Three years ago today, Putin's tanks rolled into Ukraine, and Russian aircraft began bombing the country. Trump is lying. Russia started the war, not Ukraine. Putin is a dictator, not Zelensky.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has terminated over 1,400 employees.

The Trump administration may continue — for now — to keep the AP from covering key events. A federal judge declined to issue a temporary restraining order on Monday.

Streeeeeetch 😍

This is like extending the lease on your apartment and then pretending your rent no longer costs anything. It's magic math for Republicans in Congress to justify trillions in tax breaks for the ultra wealthy while preaching about fiscal responsibility and DOGE efficiency.

Today has been a DAY but we are happy to have shared it with all of you. Rest well knowing they fumbled HARD this weekend. And send photos of your emotional support pets! See you in the morning!

CARTOON OF THE DAY

It’s a huge mistake for Donald Trump to fire thousands of IRS workers while people are filing their taxes. But don’t just take my word for it — seven former heads of the IRS, including Trump’s first term pick, are ringing the alarm bell.
