More of this.

Mitch McConnell told Senate Republicans that Americans concerned about losing Medicaid will “get over it." No one will “get over” losing a loved one because Republicans in Congress failed them.

great reminder to all of those Democrats and liberals saying that we need to abandon red states because they are gerrymandered into right wing autocracies where the vote isn’t in their favor instead of accepting that we are gonna have to fight for every American no matter where they are.

Republicans are jamming through the GENIUS Act which will turbocharge Donald Trump’s crypto corruption. We need an amendment vote to stop the President, Vice President, and senior government officials from directly or indirectly profiting from a stablecoin venture.

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

My work here is done

“The law will not stop Trump’s attack on L.A., because laws do not stop authoritarians. Only the people can do that. And the people, a majority of them, elected Trump to do exactly what he is doing: use violence against the Americans they disagree with.”

china is bad bc they use tanks to disperse protestors and the tanks only stop moving when one brave man stands in front of the tank, unlike america where uh uhhh uhhhhhhh

The enemy of my enemy still did two Nazi salutes.

My mother might unlock the door to give us sandwiches, but only if someone else’s mother didn’t first.

Cool! @ricksteves.bsky.social, who has a lot of experience telling people where to go, is telling people to go to NoKings.org. See y'all in the streets on 6/14.

holy shit, yes, exactly

That sound you just heard in the distance was me screaming bloody murder because those bastards cancelled #WheelOfTime. 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Counterpoint: Jail. We are going to pursue Elon Musk if it’s the last thing America does, prosecute him for crimes and violations of the Constitution, and throw him in jail. If we do not do this, our country will not survive. Accountability is essential.

It’s remarkably brave of these folks to write this, and it’s galling that they have to, in part, because prestige media can’t straightforwardly make the point they so eloquently do.

Democrats in 2024: Trump will push 10s of millions off of Medicaid if he wins Corporate Media: Democrats are liars, Trump promises not to cut anyone from Medicaid if he wins <Trump wins and cuts 13.7 million off of Medicaid> Corporate Media: real barn burner last night in House, so much fun!

House Republicans just passed Trump’s Tax Scam (the GOP’s Medicaid-slashing, billionaire-enriching megabill) in a 215-214 vote. The bill got even worse overnight, but the most important thing to know right now is this: This fight isn’t over, and this bill can still be stopped. 🧵

Important thread and it's extremely important to know that this isn't over. I particularly want to stress that if you are in a district Represented by a Republican who voted for the bill, an immediate thing to do alert the public and the media in your area. Indivisible has other suggestions.

Musk's Starlink was having a hard time getting permits abroad. Then Trump slapped tariffs on basically everything we buy from overseas—and suddenly countries negotiating trade deals started giving Starlink sweet deals! Looks like textbook corruption—and we're all paying for it.

Perhaps you could do something? Raise the alarm? Let the rest of the country know? Draw some attention? I know there's a lot going on but this is horrific #massachusetts @warren.senate.gov @edmarkey.bsky.social @jimmcgovernma.bsky.social

Reading the story about the woman in Georgia who is brain dead and on a vent but not allowed to die with dignity because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she was declared brain dead. Even in death, our bodies are not our own. State-owned property.

🚨 This good neighbor caught shady “agents” in Highland, IL claiming to do wellness checks—each wearing mismatched vests labeled FBI/ICE/ERO/police. Since when do they roll up together like that? Vigilante brown shirts are testing boundaries. Stay safe. Know your rights. #OnYourSide

Donald Trump’s termination of Register of Copyrights, Shira Perlmutter, is a brazen, unprecedented power grab with no legal basis. It's surely no coincidence he acted less than a day after she refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.

I learned some things:

Horrific day in my city. Proud of my community for fighting against this, but devastated all the same.

Cassocks are red Conclaves are dope Wake up babe we got a

TODAY: We need every Senate Democrat to vote no on a crypto bill that would enable Trump to keep accepting bribes from billionaires, corporations, and foreign governments. We can block S.394 if Democrats unite in opposition, but they’re not there yet, so make sure your senators hear from you ASAP. 👇

Most people do not understand how much regulation it took to stop food poisoning from being a daily cause of death. They are about to learn the hard way that you can't feed yourself from those apartment deck planters year round.

who knew the day would come that i'd be on the same side as Rand Fucking Paul

Stephen Lynch, aiming to be top Dem on the Oversight Cmte, blew up at a constituent who asked him to oppose the GOP. "I get to decide that. I get to decide that. I get to decide that. I'm elected. I get to decide that. You wanna decide that? You need to run for Congress, okay? I get to decide that"
