Saying it out loud. Of course the current administration is afraid of more voters. Huh. Wonder why? 🙄

The White House is lying to you. At least 13.7 million Americans will lose their health care, according to the official non-partisan scorekeepers.

(Reuters) - Staff of the Federal Emergency Management Agency were left baffled on Monday after the head of the U.S. disaster agency said during a briefing that he had not been aware the country has a hurricane season, according to four sources .. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/fem...

In April, we took to the streets for the biggest day of civic protest in years. No Kings Day on June 14 is going to be even bigger, with more events in more places to reject Trump’s authoritarianism. Please join us at your local No Kings Day event in two weeks: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

The moral of the story: The math ain't mathin'. Trump's cuts to science spending will damage our economy, leave hundreds of thousands of people jobless, destroy the discovery pipeline, and most importantly, cost lives. But we are fighting back. Join us: www.standupforscience.net/summer-fight...

Military commanders are being told to snitch on transgender troops by tricking them into going in for a routine health assessment that will out them. Because it’s the transgender people that can’t be trusted, you see. apnews.com/article/tran...

Americans have a right to know the REAL cost of the Trump Tariffs. My Truth in Tariffs Act will require large retailers to show how much more consumers are paying for an item because of tariffs—President Trump’s foolish new national sales tax.

@jonlovett.bsky.social on Trump's tariffs: "It is only possible because Republicans refuse to take back the power that they have... The problem is not that we put the worst human being in public life in the most powerful job in the world, it is that he is enabled by Republicans around him."

An underreported detail of Judge Hannah Dugan’s arrest at her workplace by federal agents is the fact she was handcuffed and photographed, and later shackled and placed in a holding cell ahead of her initial court appearance. Not only is this extremely abnormal, it was entirely unnecessary.

❤️Shared via @redbudresourcegroup on Instagram: Today is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples. This is an epidemic that plagues many of our Tribal communities across Indian Country, including our First Nations relatives in Canada and our Alaska Native relatives.

A gift to the NRA.

As we’ve said before now confirmed. FOIA requests reveal that DOGE employees are pulling in six-figure salaries, with many holding the title of “Expert,” a specific Office of Personnel Management (OPM) designation that pays around $190,000 a year.

Trump: I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have 3 dolls or four dolls...they don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have 5. Sounds like a true communist to me

The CRAZY thing nobody is talking about too is that nothing is ever gonna be cheap again. If corporations see that we’ll pay these elevated prices, they have no reason to not make those prices their baseline

Musk and SpaceX are among the biggest winners in Trump’s 2026 spending plan. Trump is delivering on Musk’s wish list at both NASA and the Pentagon, reshaping federal space spending to funnel billions of dollars in new business directly to him.

The US Department of Justice is investigating voter fraud. Meanwhile, the 2024 election results data is indicating vote manipulation. It's your ballot. Your proof. Your power. Let's count them. #VerifyTheVote #AuditPA #SecureTheMidterms #ProofIsInThePaper #PAperBallots

The reality is worse than we thought. The White House proposed the largest single-year cut to NASA in history. We urge Congress to reject this proposal and work on a bipartisan solution for a strong space program that reflects humanity’s potential. Our statement: www.planetary.org/press-releas...

Imagine thinking the real threat to democracy is Germany cracking down on Neo-Nazi Holocaust deniers, especially given their own dark history.

Indoctrination.

How is this making America great?

🔔BREAKING🔔 The NSF has frozen all research grant awards—cutting off life-saving science midstream and demanding ideological screenings for future funding. This is censorship disguised as oversight. Here’s how you can help us spread the word ➡️🧵(1/3): www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Even North Korea would call this over the top. The groveling is next-level.

This is petty. The FBI has reassigned several agents simply for being photographed kneeling in solidarity with racial justice protesters in D.C. during the 2020 demonstrations after George Floyd’s murder.

A controversial measure to charge $20 on cars to help pay for Trump administration priorities is out of the House Transportation Committee’s reconciliation markup plan for today after several Republicans panned the annual registration fee, a person with direct knowledge told POLITICO.

I see a pattern

The number of cases reported in Texas' historic measles outbreak has risen to 663 cases in 26 counties, as of April 29. Track the spread here.

Today we commemorate the Six Triple Eight, the only Black, all-female unit to serve in Europe during World War Two, with a Congressional Gold Medal ceremony in the Capitol. I was lucky enough to meet a few family members before the event. Thank you to those who served.

Thank you Greyhound!

ICE has begun raiding the homes of American citizens. A widely shared story out of Oklahoma describes a disturbing incident where a woman and her children were dragged into their yard half-naked. Reports are mounting across multiple states of agents targeting the wrong properties.

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant. They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear. They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings. The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Still awaiting comment from the “don’t tread on me” crowd.

75% of Americans don't want a dictator. 25% want a dictator. There is no mandate. No Landslide. Don’t let the 25% determine our future. We the 75% determine our future.

A mother breastfeeding a U.S. citizen’s baby gets deported back to communist Cuba. Heidy Sanchez Tejeda was working legally, building a family, and playing by the rules. ICE tore her away anyway. Demand justice. Demand her return.

WOW. 72% of Americans say Trump’s economic policies will cause a recession. -ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll.

Musk’s staffers are now forcing federal employees at several agencies including the FAA to sign non-disclosure agreements. The goal is simple: silence the resistance through more threats and now, forced agreements. Maybe we’re not supposed to be talking about being forced to sign NDAs… oops, lol.

game changer in the new york times!

Appaling

What the government isn’t telling you is that this US citizen, a 2-year-old child, is a lifelong criminal with dozens of drug convictions and a murderous past. There’s no place in America for toddler terrorism.
