I pointed it out recently but I want to note again that Musk and his racist pals consistently post photos of any women or nonwhite judges who rule against USDS, while ignoring the equally large or maybe greater number of decisions against USDS where the judge was a white man and/or Trump-appointed

‼️ The Alien Registration Act of 1940 is the only time the U.S. government carried out a comprehensive campaign to require all noncitizens to register. Trump administration creates registry for immigrants who are in the US illegally apnews.com/article/ille...

Another great day. @patawan1.bsky.social @choudry1.bsky.social @cheriarmstrong.bsky.social @pittsburghlady.bsky.social @gizmosspace.bsky.social @sassysister27.bsky.social @qm-b.bsky.social And many others. Thanks.

No words.

Great tip

Neal: "Look at the alignment. $1.2t here for cuts, but $1.2t for tax cuts. Oh, let me figure that one out. They are going to cut Medicaid to justify what it is that they want to do."

I subsist on Social Security Disability/Medicare/Medicaid/SNAP. Medicaid pays the majority of my medications. Due to my disabilities & chronic illnesses I rely on 38 different medications annually. 1 of my medications for Lupus has slowed the progression of the disease. Without access I would die.😔

This is insane

Everything is going great you guys

federal employee says what

DOGE is a hoax

Suddenly MAGA have changed their minds about vaccines. Wait until Mr Brain Worm takes the vaccines away. apple.news/AgDiJcOifRNe...

Heather Cox Richardson’s nightly post shows that Congress is still in charge, and tells the story of what the Repubs are trying and failing to do.

"We kill at every step, not only in wars, riots and executions. We kill when we close our eyes to poverty, suffering and shame. In the same way all disrespect for life, all hard-heartedness, all indifference, all contempt is nothing else than killing." ~ Hermann Hesse

Canada doesn’t need trump.

So MSNBC is now the network version of Trump: It will retaliate against anyone who dares to criticize them.

Puke

Pedro is the best ❤️

Three different federal judges delivered legal setbacks and slap downs to Trump in the span of an hour and a half today in a series of cases challenging controversial moves taken during the early days of his second term. The rulings are the latest to pump the brakes on Trump’s agenda.

Illinois public schools are not changing curriculum as it relates to LGBTQ+ issues, despite a warning from the federal Department of Education. (wgntv.com/news/illinoi...)

seems reasonable

Disgust and so stupid. Maybe he thinks the visa is a credit card??

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. In these dark times, it's important to recognize that people are fighting back. Join them.

Trump says his 25 percent tariffs on all Canadian and Mexican goods will begin next week. Reminder: tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the checkout line.

Vital services and protections for everyday Americans are being gutted thanks to DOGE. And this is happening in exchange for renewing one of the biggest tax cuts in American history that will predominantly benefit people like...you guessed it...Elon Musk. See the problem here?

Former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince wants the Trump administration to let private military contractors take over mass deportations. None of this is about making America safe. It's about using human suffering to enrich the border-industrial complex.

This is what House Republicans voted for tonight. Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

I vividly remember this

Rep Tom Suozzi: “Very simple. Putin is a dictator. Zelenskyy is not.” What’s so hard to understand about that?

Pure joy..🐕🐾😅

The Social Security Administration "eliminated" its civil rights office open.substack.com/pub/chrisgei...

Again, WTAF??? This is really happening

The front page of the New York Times, July 31, 1965, showing LBJ signing the Medicare and Medicaid Act of 1965 into law in the presence of Harry Truman.

Ok now vote is back on. To be clear this is basically a purely symbolic vote on a framework that won’t pass the senate and should be an absolute lay up

I could barely sit straight one month postpartum and Rep. Brittany Pettersen (CO-7) flew across the country and dressed up (probably wore heels too?!) to go vote NO on this terrible budget resolution

Today Congressman Mark Pocan TOOK THE GLOVES OFF. “Donald Trump is full of shit…and he needs to get the fuck out of Mar-a-Lago and talk to real people. “Elon Musk is a grifter. He makes Donald Trump look like elementary school level grifter. This guy has a PHD in theft from the American people.”

DOGE is math- challenged, or just a bunch of idiot liars

Congratulations to @AVindman on the publication of his brilliant, prescient, and timely book, "The Folly of Realism." This, especially now, is an essential read. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/alexa...

#MAGA Republicans in the House just passed a $4.5 TRILLION TAX CUT, the great majority goes to corporations and the wealthy. They INCREASED defense spending by $100 billion. And cut $1 trillion from Medicaid and SNAP. This is the exact opposite of populism. Donors win again!

DOGE savings (WSJ): $2.6b TSLA subsidies (10 years): $15b Annual increase in deficit: $900b Cuts to Medicare: $880b

Good for France! It makes me smile to think of the American AP reporter opening with, "Oh, la la! Dez iz my question, Mon-sewer Trump . . ."

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

AOC: The order has come down to this committee. Find $880 billion to pay for a tax cuts on yachts, jets, billionaires, and mega corporations while working class people pay higher tax rates than Facebook does. Undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than many large corporations
