House Republicans released a draft budget that aims to cut $2 trillion in spending. The programs impacted could include Medicaid, SNAP, and education programs. Why the cuts? To finance another round of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It's reverse Robin Hood.

Good article. @luriedanielfavors.bsky.social Lurie, I was thinking about what you talked about today. I think this article speaks to what you shared. open.substack.com/pub/statusku...

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

You can’t spell FELON without ELON.

The Felon aka Fotus is the “griftingness” grifter ever! His meme coin made over $100 million in trading fees, as small traders lost money. Oh, well. 🤷🏽‍♀️ When you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas.

Just saw this posted on FB and had to share.

We could have had Kamala Harris. Instead, we have the most immature, petulant, stupid, needy, incompetent dipshit to ever enter American politics. What a tragically stupid country we are.

We're living George Orwell's 1984: IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.

Perfectly put, Melissa.

Senator Raphael Warnock ahead of the vote on RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary: "I simply do not trust him to oversee the CDC. He's unqualified, and I dare say that everybody here knows it." BOOM! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Tomorrow I'll be speaking at a press conference at the U.S. Capitol. Standing alongside Mrs. Sicknick as we continue this seemingly impossible journey for accountability. I'll be joined by Whip Katherine Clark, Benny Thompson, Bonnie Watson Coleman and other lawmakers committed to this fight.

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS. I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Yaasss!!

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

Apparently...

America has been taken hostage by a convicted criminal who is supposed to be sitting behind bars.
