Senate Republicans just passed a budget creating the largest secret police force in the world & cutting $1.1 trillion from Medicaid, meaning not only will millions lose healthcare, a very large number of healthcare facilities will shut down for good, & Dem leadership is out complaining about Zohran.

The energy provisions in the Republicans' One Big Horrible Bill are truly so bad! Who wants this? The country's automakers don't want it. Electric utilities don't want it. Data center developers don't want it. Manufacturers in energy intensive industries don't want it. 🔌💡

The analogy is to mid-1930s Germany, not to 1942. Right-wing populist nationalists with a cult of personality that tried a coup, failed, regained power while vowing to violently scapegoat minorities, then dismantled rule of law from within. How identical do they need to be to allow comparison?

Let's be clear that this will be deployed not just against immigrants, but against anyone seen as providing support to immigrants. Illegal support at first, but the definition will inevitably expand to include indirect support, mutual aid, and eventually even rhetorical support.

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

It brings me no joy to report this, but it’s been almost a full day of the Mamdani candidacy, I walked from Midtown all the way to Greenwich and back, and the city is in SHAMBLES. I saw a man doing pull-up sets on scaffolding. There was a jazz band playing in the park, in front of CHILDREN!

How do they get away with this? The bill they passed cuts Medicaid by $793 BILLION. $793 BILLION. It's in the bill. They wrote it. Their own budget office says 10 million people will lose Medicaid coverage. Just wild.

One thing I really think needs to be hammered into “libertarians” & other right wing freaks is the cost of helping other people is almost always less than the cost of not helping them. Because we live in a society & we are all connected & you are SO MUCH CLOSER to being sick and poor than you think!

I am alarmed by rising antisemitism--not "on the left" or on the right, but in the air, everywhere. Which is why NYT inaccurately describing Mamdani as "anti-Israel" in a news article upsets me. We Jews have real problems. Mamdani, who opposes Israeli Right's idea of Israel, isn't one of them.

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Difficult to overstate how much blood RFK and Trump will have on their hands in the coming years. Difficult to overstate how many innocent kids will die as a result of the people who cast votes for Trump last November.

This thread is astounding. Career scientists - experts in the field - presented extremely robust, objective evidence, to the new vaccine advisory council that RFK Jr. made. They were met with weird lies and biases like “people weren’t really hospitalized for COVID” & “kids don’t actually get sick.”

The people RFK put on that panel would deny a vaccine for curing cancer because it's a vaccine. I'm really worried that we will not have a COVID vaccine update. Because of these quacks in charge. Those presenters are doing heroes work I swear
