99.9% of Americans won’t hear that Trump killed this program. And at 2,000 additional dead kids or so each year, most people will have no idea what was lost.

Call it something fancy like "malfeasance" or something simple like "incompetence" but either way there should be articles of impeachment to remove the HHS secretary for being a shameless liar who is working relentlessly to make people sick.

wild how much these guys have doubled down on “yeah, under our leadership, living in america just unquestionably sucks. next question.”

On April 24, ICE agents broke into a home of a family of US citizens in Oklahoma. The family repeatedly said we are citizens, you have the wrong people. ICE terrorized the family, ripped apart the house. It's not "other people" that this is happening to. It's us. Open your eyes. Wake the hell up.

I just want one reporter, ONE, to say “there’s a lot more evidence that you are a rapist than Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13.”

I was JUST saying to myself, "self, I'd love to watch a c-tier fashy-apologist comedian playing a caricature of an even dumber person interview a charisma-less damp walnut going through a very public midlife crisis"

hey #medievalsky free outreach idea: 2025 is the 50th (!) anniversary of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." reach out to your local theater and see if they want to do a screening. people still - rightfully! - love that movie. arstechnica.com/culture/2025...

Kennedy is among the most malevolent figures in all of American history.

Having spent time listening and watching the BBC, the obsequiousness of US journalists will never cease to amaze me. “Yes sir, with all due respect sir, let’s agree to disagree sir”. Here’s a tip: the response to “you’re not being very nice” is “are you the president or a toddler?”

Stephen Lynch is in a D+15 district. Plus fifteen!!! And he’s criticizing “Sally Blue” in his district for telling him to oppose all Republican legislation!! Someone needs to launch a primary against @lynch.house.gov right now.

"Personal liberties and free markets" is when the government orders you to remove the impact of a tax on your products under veiled threats of retaliation and you comply

Ten years of Trump going on TV and just fucking saying whatever, and still nothing like an industry set of best practices to deal with it. Put someone on the set with a laptop to look stuff up, pause the interview, whatever. He'd walk off but so what. Amazing to still be at "agree to disagree."

I’m sorry Andrew Cuomo did what now? This is a man who enabled Republicans to control the state Senate for years—thereby blocking the protection of abortion in state law—by blessing the Independent Democratic Conference (IDC) that caucused with the GOP www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

someone tell alex thompson that he has a great chance to cover a president in mental decline if he wants to take it

Overheard: “William Henry Harrison had a better first 100 days, and he spent 70 of them dead.”

Trump's numbers on immigration have been tanking across all major polls including but not limited to recent polls from NYT, WaPo, Fox (!), Reuters etc. Yet here @politico.com's Playbook editor gaslighting its readers that Americas are receiving his "hardline approach on immigration" - "positively."

shoutout to Sean O'Brien on this one

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

The impact of an unpopular American president on a foreign election is stunning. Never seen anything like the seismic political shift Trump triggered in Canada to deliver a stunning Liberal win. Trump’s toxicity is rewriting global politics.

HISTORY MADE The Cavs swept Miami with a +122 point differential. It's the largest gap in a playoff series in NBA history. The previous record was +121 between Denver and New Orleans in 2009. And that was not even a sweep.

this is almost as many mugshots as you'd get if you lined the street opposite with pictures of republican pedophiles

This line is going to stick with me for a very long time. “One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors…”

Congress is back from recess after the weekend. Will anyone file articles of impeachment for expelling a U.S. citizen who is 4 years old and also has cancer.

some dumb motherfuckers , even libs , act like the relative lack of conservative professors is a problem . but american conservatism is an anti intellectual movement! might as well ask why there’s a lack of vegan chefs in brazilian steakhouses

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

so, arresting judges should be more than enough reason for complete obstruction at in the house and senate. complete obstruction. anything you can do. interrupt proceedings, deny consent, holds on nominations. everything.

Dear Lord, I don’t make direct requests of you very often, but can you please have this turn into a beef that’s like the comedy version of Kendrick Lamar and Drake

Today I spoke at a rally in New York protesting Itamar Ben-Gvir’s visit and making clear that Ben-Gvir is not welcome here. We must be crystal clear about who Ben-Gvir is: he is a racist, terrorist, Jewish supremacist, bent on enacting Meir Kahane’s vision.

Elissa Slotkin is a former CIA agent cosplaying as an everywoman. AOC is a former waitress who treats voters as though they are smart enough to know who's screwing them and how we can fix it.

my endorsement for any democratic presidential candidate who promises to send the entire DOGE team to prison

This is insane and everyone involved needs to be sued into oblivion and then go directly to jail
