Trump’s planning a $45M military parade for his birthday, while slashing funding for veterans. This isn’t patriotism. It’s authoritarian spectacle.

I need cis people to understand that if this bill passes, thousands of trans people will die. That's not hyperbole. That's not sensationalism. That's fact. You know the genocide of trans people in the United States you refuse to acknowledge? It's here.

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

Most of my friends think I'm wasting my time and, I probably am. But I had to try. Here is an open letter, and an honest plea, to Clarence Thomas, in hopes that he might do the right thing this decision season. He hates me as much as I hate him. But I had to try.

Rep. LaMonica McIver being charged by Trump’s DOJ for “assaulting” a cop is particularly scary because it was all on camera with many witnesses and the administration feels comfortable enough to straight up lie with impunity and target a sitting congresswoman

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

In a world where anyone might be shipped to a foreign prison without a hearing, some advice if approached by ICE: 1. Don't say anything. 2. Don't sign anything. 3. Talk to a lawyer ASAP. Gift link: wapo.st/3SbvLqA

NBC is out here casually discussing "resettling" Palestinians to Libya — a country w/ open-air slave markets — like it’s just a logistical challenge. No mention that what they’re describing is ethnic cleansing — a crime against humanity under int'l law. The media really is trash most of the time.

Dana Bash and her panel just discussed the Trump post about Beyonce. She said most of it was lies. They laughed, rolled their eyes, and moved on to discuss Biden's cognitive decline and Tapper's book. MSM continues to fear Trump and fail us.

The media who doomed us to fascism with their irresponsible coverage during the last election, are ignoring the current president’s cognitive decline/sociopathy so they can focus on the supposed past deficiencies of President Biden, one of the most successful we’ve ever had. It’s disgusting.

A $2B foreign crypto deal using Trump’s stablecoin. The convicted criminal, who still owns 90% of the crypto exchange, asking Trump for a pardon. All while Republicans push a bill to boost the stablecoin market. Corruption doesn’t get clearer than this.

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

While Gavin Newsom, governor of a state Trump lost by 20 points, is throwing marginalized communities under the bus to pander for an ill-fated presidential bid, Andy Beshear, governor of a state Trump won by 30 points, is going out of his way to defend marginalized communities as a moral imperative.

RESULT: Omaha's Republican Mayor Jean Stothert just lost to her Democratic challenger John Ewing. Stothert, who was running for a fourth term, resorted to anti-trans ads and messaging around who uses bathrooms in the final stretch of the campaign. Ewing will be Omaha's first Black mayor.
