Warnock: A budget is not just a fiscal document. A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who doesn't. And if this awful budget were an EKG, it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery

Poor white MAGA voters will support cuts to Medicaid in order to save on “waste, fraud and abuse” the way many Latino voters supported Trump because he was only going to deport criminals.

Imagine being so fragile that inclusion feels like a threat, but authoritarianism—just another Sunday.

What Donald Trump is doing in Los Angeles and across California isn’t just cruel — it’s un-American. He’s not concerned about our safety, he’s instilling fear.

They promised 90 trade deals in 90 days. Today is day 80 and there’s still ZERO. The art of no deal.

GOP Senator Rand Paul: “Once this bill votes, and this debt ceiling goes through, the debt is owned by the GOP, and there is no more campaigning and saying 'This is the Democrats.' It will be owned by the Republicans”

I should get credit for not attending Jeff Bezo's wedding even though I wasn't invited.

Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves. If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such. 🚨 Yesterday, an L.A. man was arrested for impersonating a federal agent. Loaded gun, fake documents, cop gear and even blinking & blue on his car

🐈‍⬛ Happy Caturday 🐈‍⬛ 🦋 Meet and Greet 🦋 You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.

This is how you fight! Newsom slapped Fox News with a $787M defamation suit...designed to stop their propaganda and hold them accountable for distorting his call with Trump. He’s demanding a retraction...apology...and justice. Truth is the weapon. Forget about whether he wins: Fight back counts BIG

Thanks to the corrupt SCOTUS, Trump can continue, at warp speed, to burn this country to the ground. #Pinks

Cowards

If Jeff Bezos can afford to rent Venice for a $50 million wedding, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

They’re just going to keep taking your rights away and pretend it’s all Constitutional and dare you to stop them.

Racist grandpa is now blaming Democrats for leaking information about the strikes on Iran yet, dementia Don forgot his administration wasn’t giving Democrats briefings. Can we institutionalize the crazy guy now?

Good idea!

This is exactly right!

@delavegalaw.bsky.social

Indeed it should — but don’t hold your breath. Most of our newspapers are feckless, intimidated and cowardly!

Justice Sotomayor said it best: the conservative majority is “rewarding lawlessness.” Migrants are being deported—without notice or due process—to countries they’ve never even set foot in. This is what happens when the Court starts playing politics.

We have a president who makes foreign policy announcements by post, and that’s how the press finds out. Now do Israel–Gaza.

Wallace: My guests on this week's episode of The Best People are amazing. I spoke to the real life brothers behind the digital news Goliath, MeidasTouch..

They are treating people worse than mere numbers, not even bothering to track them once they’re in the system. Unacceptable.

Make it make sense.......

Now that we need the support and coordination of our allies, and intelligence partners, I’m here to remind you that Trump has alienated us from them with his ignorance, incompetence, and narcissism. America first is profoundly dangerous. America first equals America ALONE.

We were very happy to give this scoop to @marisakabas.bsky.social's The Handbasket because it is important to support independent journalists who are doing the hard work at this time. Giving this story to Marisa also guarantees it will be in The Washington Post verbatim exactly 48 hours later.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

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

Remember all that “genocide Joe” and “Kamala is a war hawk” shit? Yeah…psyops. It worked.

𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗪𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗 𝗔𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝟯+ 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗔𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗣𝗨𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗖 𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗦 If the bill passes, the Senate could authorize the sale of up to 3.3 million acres of public land across 11 Western states, threatening iconic areas like Lake Tahoe, Mammoth Lakes, Happy Canyon, and public forests near Grand Teton. 1/4

Worth remembering: Though Medicare is the primary health insurance provider for senior adults, it’s Medicaid that pays for nursing home coverage and other long-term care.

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

LOOK AT THIS SHIT: ICE smashed someone’s windows, yanked them out, and then arrested the United States citizen who filmed it. That’s not “immigration enforcement.” This government is out here punishing witnesses. Fascism is HERE.

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

Bernie heads to Johnson’s backyard

This is bad. And so wrong! 😡 Four senior execs of tech giants like Meta and Palantir are being sworn into the Army Reserve as *direct-commissioned* officers at the unusually high rank of Lt. Col! THEY’VE NEVER SERVED! It takes 15-17 YEARS to become a Lt Col!! 👉🏽 taskandpurpose.com/military-lif...

Melissa Hortman is no longer with us “All because someone decided her voice was too powerful” “Female members regardless of party affiliation are the #1 target for violence, threats, & hate campaigns” For all women watching “We see you We’re going to Keep Showing Up, Louder, Stronger, Together”

Yes, please.

Sadly, the weak, compliant reporters in the mainstream media won’t stop. After all, they don’t want to lose “access.”

Sen. Alex Padilla responds to JD Vance: "He knows my name. Look, sadly, it's just an indicator of how petty and unserious this administration is. But he's the vice president of the United States, you think he'd take the situation in Los Angeles more seriously." @msnbc.com

It strikes me that if we had swarms of masked men with weapons of war roaming Wall Street chasing down tax cheats and white collar criminals, many Americans would respond differently than they are to swarms of masked men with weapons of war roaming the streets of LA chasing down brown people.
