Don't cut Medicaid 31 million children are on Medicaid

I’ll never forget courageous students at Virginia Commonwealth University walking out of their own commencement ceremony last year to protest against KKK GOPer Glenn Youngkin as he was speaking. This is how all GOP fascists should be treated.

The #FOers are going to war on their own reps. #MagaCivilWar

🚨 Speak up. Spread the word. Stay in the fight.🚨 We won't sit by while Republicans attack the Medicaid you and your loved ones need to survive.

White House restores 9/11 health program funding after uproar: The White House restored funding for the 9/11 first responder survivors' health program after an uproar from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle ensued following the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) cuts last week.  Rep.…

“Shortly after Friday’s exchange, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announced that it launched a Title IX violation investigation into Maine’s Department of Education and one of its school districts.”

The "President" speaks for Putin.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

'Only took him a month': Trump critics disgusted as he calls himself 'king': Political and legal analysts were shocked to see President Donald Trump declare himself the king of the United States. 'Long live the king!" he blared in a Truth Social as he gloated about killing a congestion pricing…

oh my god Hochul has been activated

Dear federal scientists: If you have been affected by the probationary firings and would be willing to speak with Science, please reach out to me by email ([email protected]) or on Signal. We can guarantee annonymity.

What an international embarrassment our government of frauds and grifters is.

I see the crooks have moved on to bribery now....

NOW - I’m live at a press conference with New York Attorney General Tish James and Connecticut Attorney General William Tong. They’re about to enter a hearing re: stopping DOGE from accessing Americans’ private information and sensitive data.

We can’t say this enough: When people in Trump‘s orbit deliberately lie about how our constitutional democracy works, they violate the oaths they take to uphold the law. & they violate the trust the American people place in them.

This is who, 30 days ago, the Washington Post endorsed for Senate confirmation. Saying that DOJ "filed charges" intentionally misleads people into thinking DOJ took criminal action. It's just a civil lawsuit. Support @atrupar.com and independent media like him.

Who is the one fighting to keep the fraud and waste? Lemme check…. The state dept is paying $400,000,000 for TESLA armored vehicles which is filed under NAICS code: 311999 - All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing Concerning! 🇺🇸 Source: www.state.gov/procurement-...

Nearly 200 congressional Democrats, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Maxine Waters, are calling on Treasury Sec'y Bessent and OMB director Vought to boot members of the Elon Musk's DOGE from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and restore its systems and operations. tinyurl.com/v8z6kp7w

Stealing the Oval Office spotlight while your 4 year old tells the President to shut up is nasty work 🤣🤣🤣

You too can go to a Tesla Showroom with a sign “Don’t buy swasticars”. Anybody hear about Saturday protests?

#Florida car dealer sentenced to 8 years in prison for carjacking customer over a single missed car payment. www.local10.com/news/local/2...

Measles outbreaks in Texas and Georgia, tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas and bird flu breaking out all over. How soon before (F)Elon and Trump decide that the American public is entitled to the public health information that our tax dollars pay for?

"[I]f it doesn’t get aired now in the Senate, this question will get aired later in the courts. There is no way the genie of Patel’s candor is going back in the bottle," writes @benjaminwittes.bsky.social.

If you’re at home full time caring for a sick or dying loved one—no Medicaid for you either!

Apparently, at least one of the “judicial activists” Karoline Leavitt accused of attacking Donald Trump to stop his agenda Was actually APPOINTED by Donald Trump

Wait … they … 𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙙 ???

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts aren’t legitimate if they don’t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.

You can tell how great these AI products are by how much they have to keep sneaking them into our devices without our knowledge

The arc of the moral universe is long Stupid people make it a lot longer

Musk’s Teenage DOGE Minion Was Once Fired for Leaking Employer’s Secrets #ElonMusk #DOGE #BigBalls www.thedailybeast.com/musks-teenag... via @thedailybeast

“I am the coach of your child’s soccer team,” the letter read. “I am a member of the PTA…but I orchestrated a clandestine operation to secure the release of an allied soldier held captive by the Taliban…” From an FBI Agent who could be a friend or neighbor. Who will protect us when they are gone?

Not even trying to hide it…

Doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or Republican—this government isn’t on your side. Trump’s government is for billionaires and big corporations. 🚨NEW OVERNIGHT: Russell Vought, Trump’s acting CFPB director, ordered all employees to stop working – including fighting financial abuse.

See? The president doesn’t want to fully close the borders; he is fully on board with bringing in people who want to Make Apartheid American Again. If you’re not sure of the right phrase to describe his immigration policy, “overtly racist” works.

I think somebody should do a reality TV show from Mar-a-Lago called, "Facelift Fails."😅 #ProudBlue #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TheTurdReich

Good Saturday morning ☀️ Trump is a green-lighting, rubber-stamping, narcissistic puppet for Project 2025 and its fascist imagineers. Our federal judges are helping hold the line. Be loud! Be relentless! Project 2025 is public enemy #1. #StopProject2025 #SheShed

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

Oddly, Politico has been targeted by Musk. www.politico.eu/article/berl...

Trump shutting down public health agencies is contributing to the spread of bird flu in both chickens and cows. As the cost of eggs and milk rise, the costs of all foods made with eggs and milk rise. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are stealing from you by not controlling livestock diseases.

SCOOP: Kash Patel took $25,000 from a production company with ties to Russia propaganda activity to appear in an anti-FBI docuseries. He did not respond to questions about this. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
