The White House is lying to you. At least 13.7 million Americans will lose their health care, according to the official non-partisan scorekeepers.

"This is a moment in history personified. This is not just people buying favors. This is about who controls this country, and everyone else is just a formality, and that is the worldview that we are up against right now." Interview: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

"Harvard is rolling out changes that seem to concede to some of the very demands that it claims are unconstitutional." www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

The new top voting lawyer at the Department of Justice was until recently an attorney and activist for a leading anti-voting legal group that has worked for years to spread fear about illegal voting and press election officials to tighten voting rules. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

And this is what I mean about backlash.

Amazing reporting here on how things have backfired on the capitulating law firms and their enabler. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Turns out DOGE is more than just a fake agency, it’s cuts are fake too. A dog and pony show. Uncover the truth behind the fake “savings” and the real cost to taxpayers… like… your information. Watch now: m.youtube.com/watch?v=-8YR...

Trump bragged about spending $1B bombing Houthis while getting Reaper drones shot down and losing two fighter jets to the bottom of the Red Sea while accomplishing nothing and leaking it in Signal, while “you don’t have the cards” Zelensky wipes out 40 bombers deep inside Russia.

Why are so many law enforcement officers wearing masks now? Embarassed?

A reminder, in case you need one, that women are incredible athletes

Don’t ever forget there was a coup Don’t ever forget unauthorized people dismantled our government Don’t ever forget their was an insurrection Don’t ever forget SKKKOTUS is corrupt Don’t ever forget they admitted to rigging votes Don’t ever forget it’s only been 132 days Don’t ever forget

A court halted his deportation. The Trump administration deported him 28 minutes later. Officials blamed “administrative errors.” It’s the fourth known case of an improper deportation by the Trump administration.

If Barrack Obama had given a crackhead with multiple baby mamas access to the IRS secure records he would have been impeached and removed by midnight.

In January, Trump fired 19 inspectors general who root out fraud and corruption. One of his picks to replace them is a GOP ex-congressman who allegedly violated House ethics rules. Another resigned from a state job after allegedly mishandling taxpayer money. "Drain the swamp."

🤣🤣🤣

In the morning, I like to envision what would cheer me up. 😉

The federal government is trying to make it harder for veterans whose civil rights have been violated to get their day in court. We filed briefs in defense of the veterans pushing back on this attempt.

A federal court has struck down almost all of Trump's tariffs. Administration officials quickly challenged the ruling’s legitimacy, but the argument for judicial overreach here is "especially weak," Conor Friedersdorf writes:

BREAKING: Over 130 former federal & state judges have filed an amicus brief urging the court to drop charges against Judge Dugan in Wisconsin The charges seek to criminalize judicial discretion & set a dangerous precedent for executive overreach We MUST defend judicial independence👇

We need states to intervene, protecting Americans' medical data and stopping RFK Jr.'s dangerous stigmatization of autistic and disabled people. Add your name to the petition! sign.moveon.org/petitions/pr...

that’s right

The US scientific enterprise is about to collapse unless we do something about it.

Fresh out of prison with their Trump pardons, now it’s time for the fraudsters to cash in. MAGA!

Casinos extract wealth from the working class. A casino is not a pathway to equity, and not the future I want to build for Queens. #casino #landalienationbill #queens #newyork

As a parent whose child had #Leukemia, listen up: The financial devastation that happens to families when their child faces a life-threatening cancer diagnosis and treatment is something that families need support with!! #SaveMedicaid

Ppl are starving, lack medication/medical care, unemployed, etc b/c they were deemed waste. Trump is a fraud.

Dictator in the WH is a sexual abuser. Dictator in the WH’s BFF was Epstein, a sex trafficker & sexual abuser. Dictator in the WH is considering “looking at facts” to pardon Diddy, sex trafficker & sexual abuser. Sexual predators &/or enablers defend any of the above. Full stop. ⛔️

An incredibly devastating decision which simply ignores the human costs and blesses the Trump admin's stripping of status of hundreds of thousands of people who entered the country legally — which the explicit stated goal of rapidly deporting those people without a court hearing.

Birds of one feather... I bet she's a piece of garbage like her husband and her boss! www.yahoo.com/news/stephen...

BIG WIN IN ALABAMA! Governor Kay Ivey signed a life-saving gun safety bill into law, which marks a huge win for survivors of domestic violence. This new law closes dangerous loopholes and keeps guns out of the hands of abusers. Progress is possible, even in deep red states! #ALPolitics

Remarkable: It suddenly appears that there's a real chance Trump's tariffs will be stopped in the courts. On the pod, @ilyasomin.bsky.social, a lawyer on the lawsuit that just won a temporary victory, explains the whole case in under 20 minutes. You'll learn a ton: newrepublic.com/article/1958...

I can’t believe the media covered up the fact that a clear mental incompetent was running the government while out of his mind on drugs, despite it being widely known in DC circles, to preserve their access to the White House. There should be huge recriminations for this.

NEW: We obtained DHS data that shows the US knew only 32 of the 238 Venezuelans deported to a prison in El Salvador in March were convicted of US crimes, only 6 of those violent. Trump called them “savages,” “monsters” and "the worst of the worst.” www.propublica.org/article/trum...

The Trump administration has deported a 2-year-old American girl. Emanuelly Borges Santos was born in a Florida hospital in 2022. She has an American passport and a Social Security card. Nevertheless, she and her undocumented parents were packed onto a plane with 94 others and shipped to Brazil.

I’ll say this as many times as I have to. No tax cut in the history of tax cuts has ever paid for itself. Not a one.

My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

GOP legislatures in Alaska, Nebraska, and Missouri are trying overturn voter-approved referenda requiring paid sick leave. And in 9 other red states, Republican lawmakers are trying to restrict citizen-led ballot measures altogether. The GOP can't stand the will of the people.

Andry left Venezuela for the US, dreaming of a career in cosmetics. Instead, he was mistakenly deported to a Salvadoran prison, where he still languishes.
