RFK Jr is not going to just “determine the cause of autism.” That boiled kneecap has spent his life distorting scientific information. He’s not going to suddenly reveal a breakthrough in a field he barely understands.

House Republicans voted to overturn the CFPB's cap on excessive overdraft fees — which was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually. The House also struck down CFPB oversight over payment apps run by Big Tech companies. The GOP is the party of letting you get ripped off.

House Republicans just voted to slash Medicaid and food stamps so they can afford more tax cuts for billionaires. Shocker.

Billionaires are now worth a record $9 TRILLION. Trump and the Republicans are trying to cut Medicaid, SNAP, and education to give them more tax breaks. Really.

I wrote about how Fox News is misleading its viewers by telling them Trump and Congressional Republicans aren't considering massive cuts to Medicaid to fund tax cuts for the wealthy. Turns out slashing Medicaid is unpopular, including among Trump supporters. Latest for @mmfa.bsky.social

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

House Republicans passed the budget resolution, green lighting massive tax cuts for the ultra wealthy. They're going to cut funding for health care, nutrition, and other critical human needs in order to line the pockets of CEOs and billionaires.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Good morning. A reminder that historically when the US has wanted to punish other countries, it imposed sanctions on them, cutting their people off from global trade, hoping to create enough economic havoc that they rein in their leaders. Trump has imposed economic sanctions on the American people.

Are you fucking kidding me? I guess the Chief Justice believes that the Federal government can render anyone - including citizens - to a foreign prison without judicial review and due process. The US is ... fucked.

Every Republican politician needs to be asked if they agree with Trump's position that an American citizen can be rendered to a foreign prison without due process, court review, or ability to be returned to the US.

And to be clear, the government's argument in the Abrego Garcia case would apply even if it sent someone, including a U.S. citizen, to a foreign prison intentionally and with full knowledge that it was violating the law in doing so.
