Republicans called cancelling student loan debt a “giveaway” to the working class, so Trump is restarting predatory student loan repayments to fund tax breaks that are giveaways to corporations and the super-wealthy. This what an oligarchy robbing us blind looks like.

Since I speak fluent Trump, let me explain this. Trump announced his Golden Dome thing without checking with Canada. He can’t do it without Canada’s cooperation. Now Canada is using it as leverage in trade negotiations. So dumbass Trump is clowning to find a way to make it work.

“[One] of our amazing grants that have been cut … looked into how … in the inner ear …neurotransmitters … help us hear. … It’s actually possible that the reason that got flagged early on is the word ‘neurotransmitter,’ because it has the word ‘trans’ in it.” h/t @Cathy2NotToday on X.com

Trump is just going to keep slinging pardons to the highest bidders because the power is unlimited & Repubs in Congress won’t say a word. Despite no legal or moral justification, they will come steadily all 4 years - each more reprehensible and brazen than the one before it.

Americans can only be alarmed about these cuts if they hear about them. And therein lies the task for the Democrats. The Navigator poll shows that just 27 percent of Americans have heard “a lot” about Congress proposing cuts to Medicaid.

Whoa! New polling shows that a majority of voters in EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT oppose cuts to Medicaid. Members of Congress should take note. ☎️ Flood the Capitol switchboard to voice your opposition to the bill from hell. 202-224-3121. Defend Medicaid! Defeat Cancer!

Donald's latest medical report showed he had a colon polyp removed during a colonoscopy. When was the procedure? Was the polyp precancerous? Cancerous? We'll never know. The press never follows up, and Donald always lies.

While Trump is traveling across the Middle East collecting bribes and banking billions for his family businesses, his MAGA Republican legislature is fighting it out to see how many millions they will strip Medicaid away from. This is the Art of the Steal (of our country) right in front of our eyes

"Waste" is when people get Medicaid. "Efficiency" is when you let 60,000 tons of food that's already been paid for rot instead of feeding someone with it.

Auchincloss on Fox News: "What I'm seeing is a president who is more interested in the valuation of his memecoin than he is about people's 401ks. What I'm seeing is a president who along with Howard Lutnick is self-dealing on crypto instead of worrying about the strength of the US dollar."

Senate Republicans voted to kill an EPA rule limiting the seven most hazardous air pollutants emitted by chemical plants and other industrial facilities. Inhaling even small amounts of these pollutants can cause brain damage and cancer. How is this Making America Healthy Again?

The administration just hasn’t been able to find those thousands of criminal aliens they claimed were rampaging throughout the nation. Like so many other themes Trump campaigned on, the plague of immigrant crime was a fiction.

1/n I don’t understand the new Dept HHS assertion that childhood vaccines weren’t tested in placebo-controlled trials. That’s simply not true. I did a quick (non-exhaustive) PubMed search and they came up pretty quickly. For example here’s MMR

Call it something fancy like "malfeasance" or something simple like "incompetence" but either way there should be articles of impeachment to remove the HHS secretary for being a shameless liar who is working relentlessly to make people sick.

Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in shock—and who could blame him? Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens. This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬 Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.
