Fuckers.

We need a massive “get out the vote” campaign starting now…

US President Donald Trump showed a screenshot of Reuters video taken in the Democratic Republic of Congo as part of what he falsely presented on Wednesday as evidence of mass killings of white South Africans.

My Congressman, Sam Graves, voted to gut Medicaid. This is a map of how many folks he couldn’t give two shits about…

A lot of folks wonder why Josh Hawley is fighting for Medicaid. Here’s why: Missouri Republicans would not pass Medicaid expansion so we put it in the ballot. It won. Now, Missouri has a constitutional mandate to fund Medicaid. The federal cuts will likely cause the MO GOP to raise MO taxes.

Hold every single Republican responsible. From dog catcher to Senator. Every. Single. One.

This is from The Atlantic. This is exactly how Democrats should message Trump‘s bill. 👇🏻

The GOP not only sold out regular Americans in this shitty bill, they relinquished their own power and responsibilities to a deranged, aged wannabe dictator. Bravo, republicans. Thanks for failing in your duty to the constitution. YOU, along with your dear leader, are true domestic enemies. #MomSky

House passes Trump’s deficit-swelling tax bill that would lower taxes on the ultra-wealthy and raise taxes on the poor — all while cutting Medicaid and Medicare, and stripping healthcare from millions of Americans.

“The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that President Donald Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ would pile another $3.8 trillion to that mountain of debt. That kind of extra borrowing would only amplify growing concerns about America’s unsustainable financial trajectory.”

💰 Trump’s tax bill would ADD $3.8 trillion to the deficit 💰 Trump’s tax bill would ADD $3.8 trillion to the deficit 💰 Trump’s tax bill would ADD $3.8 trillion to the deficit 💰 Trump’s tax bill would ADD $3.8 trillion to the deficit #TrumpTaxScam

If enacted, this would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in U.S. history.

I checked. It’s real.

Donald Trump’s Conflicts of Interest in the Middle East Are Staggering He is now openly mingling his personal and political interests.

NEW: Up until last November, Kash Patel was a paid consultant for Qatar. But he and the FBI still refuse to say what he did for this Arab monarchy or how much he was paid. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

You know when someone gives you a free luxury plane and expects nothing in return? Everyone has gone through this.

Oh. Elon Musk is tagging along with Donald Trump on his trip to Saudi Arabia. Here they are meeting with Crowned Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud. This isn’t normal.

RFK Jr., DOGE gutted legally required offices. Courts may undo it all. Federal workers, Democratic lawmakers, state officials and independent legal experts say keeping offices afloat in name only – with minimal or no staff – is an unconstitutional power grab.

The amount of Russian soldiers in this picture is how many are killed or wounded every three days

It’s especially galling that AG Pam Bondi personally wrote the memo approving the gift of the Qatari airplane. Her last job was as a lobbyist for Qatar! efile.fara.gov/docs/6415-Ex...

This is not good. State trooper cars should be highly visible and marked. It’s not safe to have unmarked or low visibility vehicles pulling people over, especially in the age of ICE kidnappings. www.kctv5.com/2025/05/09/c...

Trump plans to accept a $400M jet as a gift from Qatar to serve as AF1. Unsurprisingly, AG Pam Bondi, a former registered Qatari foreign agent, signed off on the deal. “Unconstitutional” does not begin to describe this brazen corruption, let alone the national security threats.

This video is less than 7 minutes long and should be required viewing for everyone youtu.be/EwZWCk1ytPU

I am positive that the folks who follow me already know this, but if you see a person being kidnapped off the street, put your body in the way. Record it and get in the way.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Republicans did not win a SINGLE seat in Lincoln last night. Democrats won City Council, School Board and Airport Authority. It didn't happen out of thin air. A 🧵...Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird raises critical resources, provides vision and worked with partners on a coordinated campaign.

Federal funding for investigating child sexual abuse and internet crimes against children; responding to reports of missing children; and preventing youth violence has been withdrawn indefinitely by the Trump administration.

Mountains of shame on Shari Redstone and everyone else involved here trying to settle such a ridiculous and baseless legal action. They’re so poor, all they have is money and they will eventually pay the price for their grotesque behavior.

The first posy in a thimble I made, to lift my mood during the pandemic. The flowers are all real. When humans look at plants (even on a screen as here) we recover from stress 60% more quickly & the relaxation response is triggered in our brains. Zoom in if you're strung out🌿

When folks ask me, “How do you do it all?”, I tell them I actually don’t do it all. I have a husband who quietly takes on the work I can’t. A man who looks around to see what needs to be done and does it. A partner who works behind the scenes... jesspiper.substack.com/p/i-married-...

I asked AI a question about the Missouri GOP overturning the will of the people and you can imagine my shock when the answer included a citation to my Substack... Even AI knows who to consult when you want to roast Missouri Republicans.

I just got off a call with his office. They are planning to put abortion rights back in front of voters and confuse them with language. This is exactly what they did when they overturned Clean Missouri. Can you call the speaker and tell him to follow the will of the people? Thank you! 

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

DOGE keeps cutting agencies and funding and personnel, but no one I know has saved a dime on taxes. It’s almost like they are stripping the public good of resources to send that money to the oligarchs in tax cuts…

Breaking news: The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage — a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China www.ft.com/content/20d0...

Start funding Democrats on the ground at the state and county level. If anyone can get through to their neighbors, it's the people already doing the work on the ground.

This is a short interview with Jen Rubin from the Contrarian. I’d love it if you could listen and share. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

This is what we are dealing with in Missouri. We overturned the abortion ban in November, and our Republican lawmakers are rewriting a new ban to put back on the ballot. We spoke. They won’t listen.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.
