Double.

Trump is spending $134 million to needlessly deploy troops to LA and $45 million to throw himself a birthday military parade — he seems to think the US military is a toy for his amusement, funded by American taxpayers.

We feed you. They hunt us.

Why are so many law enforcement officers wearing masks now? Embarassed?

Waking up to Ukraine absolutely shredding Russian military and air force Is amazing Slava Ukrainii

Can we all agree that presidents shouldn’t have the power to pardon people convicted of crimes that involve… 1) Violence 2) Harm to children 3) Large sums of money Asking for both parties

"If this rot was confined to the GOP, it would be tragic but manageable. But Trump and the Republican Party control the levers of federal power...We are still mid-story. The outcome is not ordained. The flame of liberty hasn’t been extinguished quite yet." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Someone should set up a phone line to contact if you were helped in some way by an immigrant. I bet it would get a lot more calls than this ridiculous and offensive ICE line.

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

Gotta meet him with some resistance. 😉 Despite RFK Jr.’s claims, the CDC did not remove COVID vaccines from the childhood immunization schedule.

At a time when people are understandably focused on the daily chaos in Washington, these articles describe the rapidly accelerating impact that AI is going to have on jobs, the economy, and how we live.

You can't kick millions off Medicaid without forcing hospitals across America to close, especially in rural communities. People who've lost coverage will delay care and eventually head to the emergency room, uninsured. Every Senator needs to vote NO on these Medicaid cuts.

TACO.

David Attenborough [whispering]: “The dual-finned Canadian land shark surfaces briefly, scouting the area for signs of potential prey.”

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

Let us never forget that America is home of the free because of the brave. As we spend time with our families, please remember the brave men and women who sacrificed for our country. Let us honor them and pray for their loved ones this Memorial Day and every day of the year.

Memorial Day is when we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

The Wall Street Journal had a piece last night that the Judicial Conference of the United States — the policy making body for the federal judiciary — is discussing whether the Judiciary should have its own armed security force rather than rely on the U.S. Marshals for federal judges’ protection.

Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

"Trump is unique among the nation’s presidents in having no interest in presiding over a functioning govt, let alone building institutions that will survive his term in office. That's why the analogies pundits have tried to draw between the early periods of other presidencies fall entirely flat."

“Six years ago, I found myself face to face with a white farmer preparing for the government to take his land. This did not happen in South Africa. It was in South Texas, and it was because of Trump…” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

Fun fact: Democratic women make up only 22% of the House of Representatives, but have submitted 52% of the 537 amendments to this heartless reconciliation package. We’re almost 20 hours into this rules debate and still bringing the heat 🔥 and the heart ❤️ to this fight!

AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

The GOP Tax Scheme represents the largest wealth transfer from the poor to the rich in American history.
