Democrats in the House and Senate need to play hardball with the proposed GOP Draconian cuts towards Medicaid and health and research funding if they follow through: Blue States will keep back that much Federal tax dollar money to replace that program and funds for our state populations. Period.

The thing about this manmade Depression that is being created by the GOP, is it makes no sense. It’s created by the ruling class for the ruling class to enrich them further, at the expense of everyone else. They are rich because poor people can still afford Amazon. That won’t be the case anymore.

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

ANOTHER NATZI!

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

This is bad ass.

Same party. Just scraping the bottom of the barrel to find today’s leaders.

This headline should read, “Oligarchy triumphs as world’s richest drug addict gleefully takes a chainsaw to your jobs, benefits, social services, safety and country while laughing at conservatives who voted for this.”

According to ProPublica, dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since abortion bans were implemented, compared with maternal deaths in the state immediately before the pandemic.

We must be prepared to hit the streets and stay there.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

I completely agree this is the way to fight back.

I'm writing an evil religious oligarchy for my dark fantasy story and I keep getting outdone by reality and I'm like "you are really sucking the fun out of making a dystopia"

Corrupt billionaire immigrant Nazi Musk says Community Notes are being manipulated by people and that he wants to fix it so that propagandists like him can lie without people being able to point out their lies.

Facts....

Twitter is now an American right wing disinformation machine interfering in global politics. Your participation in it, is collaboration and nothing less.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.
