This should not controversial, but somehow it is. I believe EVERYONE deserves healthcare, no matter who you are, what you do, or where you were born.

Classic example of how DC brained Dems sometimes think too much. This Musk/Trump feud is a gift. Cong Dems should lean into it; leverage it to introduce amendments to cleave the Rs while talking about the monstrous murder bill gutting healthcare, killing 51k Americans a year. This can’t be hard.

I was talking about this with my students yesterday—throughout Western Europe, Nazism is treated in public spaces and memorials as a nightmare, as horror that must never be repeated. If slavery and Jim Crow received the same commemoration in the US, we'd be a very different country.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Can we get money out of politics? Publicly finance elections. It’s the one thing all us normies should easily agree on. #NoKings

The Democrats should enlist Elon Musk’s wealth by taxing him heavily and using the money to reduce income inequality.

The nonpartisan CBO says the Republican spending bill will add $2.4T to the debt over 10 years. Of course Trump says, without evidence, that the CBO is working against him. What’s the adage when someone is always whining that everyone else is the problem? www.npr.org/2025/06/04/g...

Democratic politicians are embracing the Taco horseshit because it doesn’t cost them anything and they’re desperate to change the subject from their absolute refusal to actually fight or risk anything. After all these years I’m begging people to just see these things for what they are.

In a healthy White House, activists like Laura Loomer wouldn’t be let in the door. In this White House, she gets influential access to the president and vice president. Both parties have fringes, but only one party blurs the line between its fringe and its mainstream. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Also worth noting: if these "popularism" fetishists were serious, they'd put AOC, Sanders, and Warren in charge. They're the most popular Democrats in Congress right now. They should run everything, right? today.yougov.com/ratings/poli...

It might not have gotten through to Hawley, but this great line from @kateshaw.bsky.social really landed with the Hawley aide sitting behind his chart as she said it:

DC reporters have indicated there's some skepticism in Congress about putting their names on attacking Big Bird, so they may struggle to find the votes for this. Let's make it a little harder. Call your reps and tell them hell no to PBS, NPR and foreign aid cuts. Scripts/language here:

I say this all the time. I have sued every Administration since Clinton & could care less abt which political party is in power. Yet all I am is branded "anti-Trump" & partisan by MAGA bc of the cases I bring against him. Simple explanation: Trump does more bad acts deserving of challenge.

The thing to remember about Andrew Cuomo's breakfast order is that he resigned the governorship in disgrace after being credibly accused of sexually harassing at least 11 women with unwanted groping, kissing and sexual comments

Trump voters suspending their love of his cruelty because someone they know is suffering is sadly not scalable —

Important to remember that Cuomo resigned when a lengthy, detailed report on multiple varied instances of sexual misconduct was issued, and has never addressed several of the most serious charges.

💯💯💯 I still remember watching Princess Mononoke in theaters and gasping at the iron-infected mad forest god, multiple characters losing limbs, the gushing blood, stabbing, etc. It's not "The Disney of Japan" and it's ALWAYS WEIRD to see it referred to as such.

is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

It has been estimated that by eliminating programs like USAID and PEPFAR, the Trump administration has effectively killed 300,000 people Over 200,000 of them were children And if Republicans cut Medicaid as they’ve threatened, thousands will die in the US as well We MUST stop these ghouls

It took only 8 years for solar to go from 100 to 1,000 TWh... then it took only 3 years to go from 1,000 to 2,000 TWh. Solar is growing faster than any source of electricity in history

Not only are parks profitable, they inject billions to local economies and welcome 300+ million people a year. This is yet more wealth extraction to private interests not just from all of us as a nation but hundreds of communities and small businesses.

It’s worth being more specific than this. If anyone _but_ the POTUS or another top MAGA figure had posted that Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and the person we think is Biden is a robot, that person would _never_ be used as a source by journalists again. Yet media won’t change how it covers Trump.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

Why isn’t everyone yelling this from the rooftops? I know 5 people who lost their jobs due to uncertainty caused by Trump’s tariffs. The animation industry contracted over the last few years but the clients we have are a bellwether of the economy at large and they’re spending less than during Biden

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

Once again, the contrast between how Trump's egregious abuse of the pardon power & the national freakout over Hunter Biden's pardon is stark & glaring & illustrative of the massive, unserious double standard the media applies to the two parties in American politics. bsky.app/profile/mcop...
