This whole thing was a deliberate set-up, and the real audience for it was not the American people. It was the global fascist movement.

It’s called Medi-Cal in California. I’ll bet a lot of folks don’t know it’s funded by Medicaid.

Not a bad idea -- if House Republicans refuse to hold town halls in their congressional districts, local Democrats should set one of their own up.

Reminder: This is what House Republicans voted for last night. Their budget would slash Medicaid by $880 BILLION and cut food assistance by $230 BILLION — all to give the top 1% a $1.1 TRILLION tax break. This is their plan: Take from working families to give to billionaires. #ProtectMedicaid

Elon Musk’s team posted an online “wall of receipts,” celebrating how much it had saved by canceling federal contracts. Now it has deleted all of the five biggest “savings” on that original list, after The New York Times and other media outlets pointed out they were riddled with errors.

1. The benefit of Trump's "shock and awe" approach to governance is that there is so much going on that brazen corruption goes virtually unnoticed. Consider Coinbase. It was charged by the SEC in 2023 with violating numerous laws. Now the SEC is dropping the lawsuit. Why? FOLLOW THE MONEY

Here’s an idea: Hochul removes Adams and replaces him with someone who will tell the Secret Service that the next time Trump comes to Manhattan the Secret Service can block the streets themselves without the help of the NYPD

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

I personally will continue to use "Gulf of Mexico" because our president is a wrathful felonious nincompoop with the intellect of paramecium and I do not consent to his cartographic buffoonery

BREAKING: House Republicans just released a budget that slashes Medicaid by $880 billion—an 11% cut—despite Donald Trump’s promise to protect it. If enacted, millions of seniors, kids, and people with disabilities will pay the price.

Here’s some advice for those outside our coalition, as the administration is actively leading a witch hunt for resistance members. If you’re a government employee, avoid using government devices to coordinate. Do not use standard messaging apps on Android or Apple devices.

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

Hearing nonsense that Ds are threatening a shutdown. False. Entire matter is in GOP hands. What's happening is that Rs are coming hat in hand to Ds for help because they can't agree among themselves. Ds shld have a simple demand. No help until the criminal conduct stops.
