The indignation that some half dead hanger on from NY isn't a household name... Do your job or get primaried. You aren't celebrities.

As he faces Senate confirmation, remember that Dr. Oz: -Pushed Medicare privatization plans on his show -Owns ~$600k in stock in private insurers -Has ties to pyramid scheme companies that promote fake medical cures His main qualification to oversee CMS is loyalty to Trump.

When destructionists start bastardizing language, context becomes paramount.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

1/4. Ukraine has proposed a ceasefire without conditions. Russia will almost certainly reject this and try to dictate to Witkoff that the US help Russia achieve colonial control of Ukraine, something that Russia could never achieve on its own.

Must-read thread from @ericumansky.bsky.social 👇👇 One detail we'll highlight: After Williams' death, his family got a bill from the city demanding $3,429.23 for the damage he caused to the police car when officers ran into him. (After @thecity.nyc reported on it, the bill was rescinded.)

This week, we shared a post from friend of Team TBP, Amelia Mavis Christnot, on the very present danger of measles in an increasingly vaccine-skeptical U.S. under Trump. Don't miss this fascinating piece!

His 7th bankruptcy will be us if we don’t stand up and fight back.

Maybe the Capitol Bldg shouldn't be a retirement facility...

It was the Dunninge of tymes. It was the Kruger of tymes.

NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is expected to start a sweeping overhaul of military lawyers to make the US less restricted by the laws of armed conflict, per ppl familiar @theguardian.com exclusive www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

NEW: The class-action lawsuit claims that decimating the agency’s Office for Civil Rights will leave it unable to address issues of discrimination at school — violating the equal protection clause of the Fifth Amendment. By @jsmithrichards.bsky.social and @jodiscohen.bsky.social

We have got to stop doing this.

Wait. Does he think Nicola Tesla created the eponymous car?

AOC should announce a primary against Schumer tonight.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

The White Moderates Won't Save Us. They never have, they never will. MLK warned about them in his Letter from a Birmingham Jail. Recommend people read up on it.

NEW: One Community Response Team officer swerved into a motorcyclist, killing him. Another needlessly stopped a pedestrian, then shoved him into a car window. A third hit a man and then kicked his head. By @ericumansky.bsky.social

And their food isn't loaded with poisons and micro plastics... The air is protected from hazardous company emissions... They have public gathering spaces that don't cost a fuckton just to visit with their community...

No shit. Because we won't get bailed out like Trump and Musk will. Musk is hemorrhaging money in the tens of billions and is still the richest person on the planet. He has more money to lose than most of us combined.

It’s truly insane that the economy is in a free fall and the president, who doesn’t drive, is spending his time giving a PR boost to the car brand of his billionaire buddy.

Why is this dinosaur still in office? No need to place your "abhorrence" of someone before an argument against their wrongful detention.

More aptly, "dodgy" 🙃

here's the incredible interview that @chrislhayes.bsky.social did tonight with the woman who was just fired as the pardon attorney at DOJ, liz oyer. really, really, really worth watching: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnqv...

Don't act like a villain 🤷‍♀️ Remember that Jesus loved all people unconditionally regardless of their profession, choices, etc. "Love," in this case, did not translate to forceful indoctrination nor denial of human rights like bodily autonomy.

A recent study found that cervical cancer deaths in young women have plummeted since the introduction of the human papillomavirus vaccine.

Absolute Schadenfreude 💜 Now, if only all of that would go back in the pockets of the working poor...

True facts.

I know what you’re thinking: We should mirror the United States government based on how this website is run.

"Where other men blindly follow the truth, remember nothing is true. Where other men are limited by morality or law, remember everything is permitted." Where the punishment for a crime is a fine, remember laws only apply to the poor.

A new report from @sanders.senate.gov finds that Americans in the top 1% of earners live seven years longer on average than Americans in the bottom 50%.  Inequality is eating this country alive.

The intelligence community is spying on student protesters, I reported last year. Today, the Washington Post reports that Homeland Security officials had been "gathering intelligence" on Mahmoud Khalil’s activities www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-intell...
