"This is going to devastate the economy. If it shuts down 35 rural hospitals in Kentucky, the second-largest employers in each of the counties, every doctor, every nurse, every orderly, every custodian loses their job." @andybeshearky.bsky.social on GOP healthcare cuts, with @citizencohn.bsky.social

When you lie about your credentials, your drinking, and your leaking of classified war plans, why would anyone trust you about the air strikes?

When Eric Adams, a corrupt dirtbag centrist cop, won the primary four years ago, mainstream white media was quick to anoint him as "the future" of the Democratic party. Nate Silver said he's be the party's presidential nominee. Mamdani wins and it's like "oh, shit, well, there's still the general."

Commentary: The biggest difference between a SNAP household and a non-SNAP household? An EBT card, and some tough times. Not what they buy. SNAP families are regular families who happen to need some temporary assistance putting food on the table.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Cuts to Medicaid in the Senate’s budget bill could close 338 hospitals across the country, jeopardize millions of people’s health care, and threaten people’s lives. Working people say, hell no!

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

If u thought after their Immunity Ruling it couldn't get worse... Now Conservative SCOTUS gives Trump a green light to swiftly banish humans to 3rd World countries knowing they'll be subjected to torture, enslavement & other inhumane conditions. Fuck SCOTUS👆 www.rawstory.com/trump-deport...

Jeffries: "Not a scintilla of evidence to date has been presented that I have seen to justify the notion that there was an imminent threat to the United States of America. If the administration has evidence to the contrary, come up to present it."

This is all just another episode of Trump's reality show...with GRAVE, worldwide repercussions. Trump is a lunatic w/the world's most powerful arsenal and he's been itching to use it. All because his fragile ego was hurt by low poll numbers, ridicule for his pathetic parade and scorn at the G7.

Trump dismantled diplomacy, gutted the national security apparatus & pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, decisions that helped destabilize the region. Now, it’s all bravado & this attack on Iran is likely to lead to a protracted conflict. This is provocation through chaos. This isn’t a “win”.

Here’s an attempt at correcting @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social’s useless statement: “Tonight, Donald Trump unconstitutionally entered the U.S. into war with Iran. Congress has no choice but to begin the impeachment process. Anyone who does not support this is complicit in this aspiring dictatorship”.

Unclear how attacking Iran aligns with Putin’s interest, except as Kagan writes—“Any success Trump claims in Iran, whatever its other consequences, will be a victory for the anti-liberal alliance and will further the interests of anti-liberalism across the globe” www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Here's @elienyc.bsky.social on my show urging Democrats to create a shadow government like French leader Charles de Gaulle did after the Nazis occupied France. It gave people hope and undermined the Vichy government in France that had collaborated with the Nazis.
