When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it. -Frédéric Bastiat, economist and writer (30 Jun 1801-1850) Perfectly describes the Senate and SCOTUS

The most important thing to know about the Bezos/Sanchez wedding is that Trump’s Big Ugly Bill would explode the debt, exacerbate economic inequality, and cause cruel and grievous harm to the most vulnerable Americans and we really should be talking about all of that a whole lot more.

I have always been a huge fan of LaGuardia. Thank you for this lovely article explaining why

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Over 300 rural hospitals are at risk of closing because the Big Beautiful Betrayal strips health care from 16 million people and drives $500 billion in Medicare cuts by increasing the national debt. The impact on rural America would be devastating.

Seriously, these guys have to go.

SCHRIER: Have you ever treated measles? RFK JR: No SCHRIER: Well I have. Let me tell you how miserable these kids is. The great thing is there's a vaccine to prevent it ... they only work if you actually give them

This is perfect

Is about time

Sen. Patty Murray on the Padilla incident: "I have been here for more than 32 years. I have come to this floor often to speak out, to be angry, to be a voice for my people. I have never come this close to having tears in my eyes … We are a democracy, but we can lose that democracy."

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.

Daily Reminder: Senator/Doctor Bill Cassidy was the DECIDING VOTE ON RFK Jr!! We can thank him for the LOST health and science professionals and life-saving discoveries. People will die because of Bill Cassidy. Vaccines won't be available. Cancer cures won't happen. Doctors are leaving the U.S.

This campaign is going to look a little different and here are a few reasons why. And also a secret handshake.

Enough time for one of the greatest pieces of art of the twentieth century. Everything is prefect, arrangements, melodies, lyrics, and that voice 💚 Marvin Gaye ‘What’s Going On’ #nowspinning #vinyl 🎧

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

I love this idea! It would really change their tune I think.

Keep up the pressure @pattymurray.bsky.social

This is great news. I know Vikki and she will be a fantastic lieutenant governor

Do you ever think about how easy it is to be a white Republican? Like, do nothing. “Fight for the unborn” and then damn them to hell the second they emerge from the birth canal. No need to lift a finger to do anything else. Put on a cross and a fake smile. Easy peasy.

That's why the median income is much better metric than the average. Understanding the wealth gap is crucial in class solidarity.

Bullshit Barbie strikes again ……

I  know your goal is to try to make life as hard as possible for immigrants.

If guilty people don't have Due Process rights, then innocent people don't have Due Process rights, because we don't know if they're innocent or guilty until we have a trial or hearing.

The Trump budget in one chart: Cut programs that help families and make America a leader of the world, pour money into kidnapping grad students and deporting toddlers.

I love this so much!
