This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

There’s no such thing as an “insincere” Nazi salute; they’re all just Nazi salutes. Sincere vs. insincere isn’t a distinction that matters when it comes to Nazis. Much of the original Nazi movement wasn’t “sincere” and that didn’t make it any less real.

For me and many other Jews on the left I think it’s safe to say that watching people we thought of as our allies lionizing Hamas and Sinwar are wounds we’ll not soon be recovering from.

Something to understand about the nazi salute nonsense is that back during Reconstruction there was a cottage industry of Klan denial, where Democratic papers would pretend the KKK didn't exist or point to their stupid rituals as evidence they were a Republican delusion or otherwise harmless

Social Security has a payment accuracy rate of over 99 percent. Only 0.3 percent of Social Security benefits are improper payments, which are typically caused by mistakes or delays. That's better than any private insurance company. www.cbpp.org/blog/setting...

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Been ages since I read anything of Robbins's, but he was one of the first writers who I read extensively and deeply at a formative age — and a good reminder of how playful one could be in more "literary" fiction. RIP. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/o...

The reflexive "it's just anti-Zionism" retort to a poll explicitly asking whether people have "unfavorable views of Jews" gives away the game. For far too many people, "anti-Zionism" isn't a careful intellectual position, it's a get-out-of-prejudice-free card to derail discussion of antisemitism.
