The only good Republicans are ex-Republicans.

"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

Immigrants rights' advocates — including the ACLU and Democracy Defenders Fund — have filed a new nationwide class-action lawsuit challenging Trump's birthright citizenship order. The lawsuit is in direct response to the Supreme Court ruling.

I am honored to receive the endorsement of the dean of our city’s congressional delegation, Representative Jerry Nadler. Jerry has been a principled progressive leader for decades and a champion for all New Yorkers. I am grateful for his partnership as our historic journey continues.

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.

Well this cheered me up 😀

Zohran! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

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!

This is what the world looks like with a pathological liar/idiot in the White House.

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."

Bombing Iran is a great way to distract from how your administration is bombing elsewhere.

We the people have spoken. Congress must do their job and represent the will of the nation. Say NO to “King” Donakd!

TRUMP BOMBED IRAN BECAUSE HE'S LOST AMERICA: New polling shows him underwater in 15 STATES HE WON LAST NOVEMBER This has nothing to do with protecting Israel or America. It's about Trump protecting Trump GET THE ALL-NEW MONDAY COUNTDOWN PODCAST HERE: tinyurl.com/28rbhva6

According to US intelligence, Iranian-backed militias are preparing to strike US bases in the Middle East. 😳👇

Six B-2 bombers reportedly dropped A DOZEN 30,000 lbs bombs! Totally psychotic and completely illegal. IMPEACH THIS SOCIOPATH NOW.

What am I worried about? -Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East -cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration) -Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs) -Allied assistance (we’ll need that now) -Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)

Please join us tomorrow (Sunday) at noon at your state capitol, city hall, or town hall to declare in one voice that we reject Donald Trump’s war with Iran.

Pray for them. Pray for everyone.

BREAKING: Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization says it will not halt its nuclear program following the U.S. attack, calling the strikes a “blatant violation of international law.”

Just as Iraq had no WMD, Iran has no nuclear weapons. America has entered another unnecessary war in the Middle East

He looks scared. I would be too if I were president and had no idea what I was doing.

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”.

Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon.

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...

77 million voted for this lawless man and every damn elected Republican has refused to push back for five straight months as he flouts our laws, violates our Constitution, attacks our people—and now recklessly and illegally wages war.

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.

28-year-old Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo, who has no known criminal record, was accused by Texas police of being in a Venezuelan gang because they found a photo of him posing with another man with tattoos, his lawyers say. From ProPublica partner @texastribune.org:

Moulton: I have heard that a lot of officers are considering resigning their commissions because they question whether this is constitutional—whether they’re violating their oath to protect and defend the Constitution, not the president, by carrying out these orders. These are active discussions

Rest in peace, Gilbert. 💔

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

Aggressive stagflation is forecasted for the remainder of 2025—with inflation expected to rise to 3% and unemployment to rise by 4.5%. https://trib.al/K5MNPCN
