I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

JD Vance: “I don’t believe Trump” will improve the lives of his voters. { ht: @patriottakes.bsky.social }
That b*st*rd is nobody's hero
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
We need to be doing more than voting before it's too late
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
@radiofreetom.bsky.social with a wake up call
I wrote down some notes on privatization and the transfer of wealth. Tell the MAGA in your lives that they’re subsidizing billionaires by voting for republicans.
This is awful Democratic messaging. What Jefferies should be saying is that Trump is trying to make himself king by replacing state independence with a personal federal army that will blindly do his bidding. It’s fascism. And it is the opposite of American democracy.
Don't agonize — organize! Here are five steps you can take between now and the midterms to resist Trump's tyranny. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W-l...
“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.
This is an amazing resource to see what things really cost across the country
I remember when this happened.
The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:
When you lose the QAnon Shaman… 🔥
🚨Q. Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18? Jeffery Epstein: “Though I'd like to answer that question, at least today I'm going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights.”
Jordy Meiselas: We're not chasing politicians or people. People are inherently flawed. They'll let you down. But values and strong core beliefs, I mean, that's been really our north star since we started…
Meiselas: First off—people who are alpha don’t go around calling themselves alpha. Look, where I grew up, my dad would say: Being a man means standing by your word. Being a man means you push back against the bully, and you uplift people. You don’t punch down at marginalized communities.
This is just what we needed: www.palmerreport.com/politics/thi...
A reminder. Trump in 2002: “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
Meiselas: Mar-A-Lago was used as the grounds in cases to sex traffic underage girls. And this isn't me being conspiratorial... it's documented.
REMOVE THE FUCKING MASKS. SHOW PROPER I.D. SHOW AN ARREST WARRANT.
Stephen Miller should be sent to The Hague for crimes against humanity.
Medicaid covers... -40% of births nationwide -50% of kids with special needs -72 million people in total Remember this as Republicans gut the program to finance tax cuts that will overwhelmingly go to the richest 1% of Americans. "Party of family values."
FEMA will no longer to door-to-door to assist you in a disaster, but ICE will go door-to-door to kidnap you and turn your life into a disaster. America has its priorities, y'all!
I agree with Ted Cruz that now isn’t the time to politicize any deaths. I just wish Ted Cruz would agree with Ted Cruz the next time something happens in a blue state and he decides to be a partisan fuckwit.
This pisses me off. Trump has said he wants to get rid of FEMA and let the states handle their own disaster relief. But of course a red state gets benefits. Did Trump give California similar benefits when the wildfires devastated Los Angeles?
Kudos @meiselasb.bsky.social - that interview was extremely well done. Ben Folds was cut-wrenching honest. I hope everyone listens to him and shares the pain of his decision.
The Epstein List went from "sitting on [Pam Bondi's] desk right now" to "there is no list" in just a few months!
Bondi In February: “It’s sitting on my desk right now.” What happened, Pam? 🤷🏼♀️
In February, the Trump White House’s “Rapid Response 47” account promoted the clip of Pam Bondi saying she had the Epstein list on her desk. Now the Trump administration is saying there is no Epstein client list.
How the hell did the AP write an entire article about GOP efforts to throw out lawful votes without noting: (1) The GOP is trying to throw out lawful votes; and (2) they are doing it because it will disproportionately harm Democrats? This is about GOP stealing elections. apnews.com/article/trum...
Regarding the flooding: GOP doesn’t want to fund the programs that predict these things, but they still want to blame the federal government for not predicting this. DOGE has consequences
The Madre Fire — which started on federal land Trump manages — is now the LARGEST wildfire of the year. Trump hasn’t said a word. His admin is proposing cuts to the Forest Service instead. Rake your forest, Donald Trump.
"The Nazis... imagined their targets would self-deport. Once the myth of self-deportation collapsed, they turned to more punitive measures. On Tuesday, Noem similarly noted the Everglades camp was meant to frighten immigrants into self-deporting. 'If you don’t,' she said, 'you may end up here.'"
@svdate.bsky.social
TRUMP: “I was very unhappy with my call with Putin. It just seems like he wants to go all the way and just keep killing people. No good. It's not good.” (He just cut military aid to Ukraine)
👇👇
"They have borrowed directly from Nazi sources to make the very same points that the Nazis were making. They understand very well that the way to establish a form of government that is not bound by law or reason is to declare a state of emergency."
The U.S. government is trying to hoodwink vulnerable seniors into voting red in 2026 before the pain hits in 2027. Over 7M seniors rely on Medicaid. Nearly 2M live in nursing homes where Medicaid pays the bills. Republicans just slashed nearly $1 trillion from it. My mom just got this email…
Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you. The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit. They just lie.
So what seems clear from the intel, is that we probably should have reloaded the B2s, and gone for a second round. Instead the impulsive toddler was desperate to have a strong ending to the movie and declare a cease fire. This is a show to him, entertainment, and he’s the “star”
If the Senate's budget is enacted, millions will lose health insurance, millions will fall into poverty, and the national debt will increase by $3.3T. All of this to provide a major tax cut mainly to the rich and big corporations. There is no justification for this.
Warnock: "We are engaged in Robin Hood in reverse ... this is socialism for the rich."
Whoa! Alligator Alcatraz is going to be complete by Tuesday and open for operation on Wednesday. Am I the only one wondering how Ron DeSantis got this together so fast? Floridians, make sure you remember this the next time a hurricane hits and you can’t get disaster relief in your state.
Mark Warner: "It will move us as a nation aback to the same percentage of uninsured we had before Obamacare. It's not like these people are not gonna get sick. They're gonna show up at the emergency room. Rural hospitals are gonna shut down ... it's cruel"
He knows. He does not care. His donors will back him because they think money can outvote people, and they want their billionaire tax cuts.
‼️‼️
A sitting U.S. Congressman is demanding the deportation of a U.S. citizen because he doesn’t like a democratic election result.
They promised 90 trade deals in 90 days. Today is day 80 and there’s still ZERO. The art of no deal.
GOP Senator Rand Paul: “Once this bill votes, and this debt ceiling goes through, the debt is owned by the GOP, and there is no more campaigning and saying 'This is the Democrats.' It will be owned by the Republicans”
It's Saturday, so you may not realize, but you should know Republicans are RACING to pass the LARGEST cuts to health care and nutrition assistance in our country's HISTORY All to pass TRILLIONS in tax giveaways for billionaires who don't need it. Senators must vote NO.
UPDATE: Republicans’ Big Beautiful Bill cuts nearly $1 TRILLION from Medicaid.
Charlie Kirk. What a weird guy. 🤣🤣
💯
Why are federal agents wearing masks? It undermines trust and poses a threat to American democracy.
If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?
Nothing screams 'freedom' quite like arresting people in wheelchairs protesting Medicaid cuts.
Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill could increase the country’s medical debt by $50 billion. Some families’ medical debt could increase by over $20,000 due to the lack of coverage. And it’s all to finance tax cuts that overwhelmingly help the rich. Reverse Robin Hood.
Nicolle is the best!
I feel pretty sorry for all those MAGA sheep who blindly gobbled up Trump's bullshit lies that "the Russia-Ukraine war would've never happened if I was president! The Israel-Gaza war would've never happened if I was president!"
Congressman Jason Smith is a slack-jawed embarrassment to the state of Missouri...
There was a nuclear non-proliferation deal with Iran . . . until Trump tore it up in 2018. To the Trump voters: We told you he was going to cause havoc, but you didn't believe us. You thought it was cool to have a billionaire con artist run the country. Good job.
I have no words. Anti-worker, anti-union, pro-child labor, anti-sick leave, anti-medical leave, anti-maternity/paternity leave, anti-livable wage… no wonder republicans refer to us as human capital stock. Fuck the oligarchs.
Trump says you peasants are spending too much time at home with your families
WATCH: “You’re a U.S. senator and you don’t know anything about the country you want to topple.” Tucker Carlson embarrasses @sentedcruz as he pushes for war with Iran
On the upside, Trump now has the kind of loser stink he can't wash off. Everyone negotiating with him on his 90 deals knows he's a loser. Foreign leaders know he's a loser. The military knows he's a loser. Our job is to hammer it home at every chance: Trump is a loser.
Something about a guy who lived, worked, made and lost many fortunes in New York City for 70 odd years trying to vilify cities seems SLIGHTLY opportunistic.
Trump declares war on the American people.
Trump is trying to foment a civil war.
In other words “You people ruined my birthday!!”
This is how you know that #NoKings really got under his skin.
Trump realizes people are turning on him, which means he will get more desperate, aggressive, extreme, and violent. These are all actions of a weak regime and weak man.
If Noem doesn’t know who the California senator is, what else doesn’t she know?
It seems things were better under slow sleepy Joe Biden. At least he knew what the hell he was doing!
For some of us, he never was. #proudnevertrumper
Trump promised to end the Ukraine & Hamas-Israel war in days; to slash grocery prices; and to bring peace to the country. In addition to the 2 wars still raging, now Iran's at war. He's alienated our allies. Grocery prices are crazy. The country is on fire. In 6 months, he's trashed the world.
According to the latest WaPo/Schar School poll, Trump’s handling of deportations has 37% approval, 52% disapproval. And Quinnipiac has it at 40% approval, 56% disapproval. But @facethenation.bsky.social insists “public approval is so high on deportation.”
Translation: Ag Sec confirms reports that she lobbied Trump not to deport farm workers or food processors on behalf of Big Ag Trump donors.
I’m on the Mall for the festivities preceding the Trump’s parade tonight. Remember: the parade is doling out federal money to various MAGA operatives in a boondoggle that is just getting started as the group running it gears up for the country's 250th birthday. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Heading to the NYC #NoKings protest. Nancy Wilks, a 64yo architect from Brooklyn: “I’m worried we’re going to lose our rights. The constitution is being trampled on.” It’s packed here.
They're exactly the Nazis you think they are. Trump, Musk, Miller, Vought—the whole lot. Their game is to gaslight you into feeling shame and doubt over your accurate, wholly evidence-based assessment that they're Nazis. Trust yourself. You have it right.
Marching past Trump Tower Chicago. It’s hard to show from ground level how huge this crowd is. The “No Kings” protesters keep coming.
Masked agents in unmarked cars disappearing people from the street and shipping them to a dictator’s prison. Executive branch officials blowing off federal court orders, wrestling members of Congress to the ground and handcuffing them for asking a question. Smells like fascism.
Californians: If you’re protesting today, protect one another and hold the line for peace. There’s no place for violence in our democracy. If you see agitators, alert law enforcement and look out for your fellow citizens. Stay safe. Stay peaceful.
In a Gangster State, the dear leader wastes other people's money on military parades to broadcast his fake strength, attacks the legislative branch and destroys programs that benefit the people.
‼️‼️
As part of his effort to establish America as a white Christian-nationalist dictatorship, Trump is dramatically expanding his ban on foreign nonwhites entering the US. Added to his announcement of an ethnic-cleansing—remigration—plan targeting the "Third World," it's clear Trump is building a Reich.
Kristi Noem: “We are not going away. We are here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country....” Federal effort to overturn elected state leadership. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
While President Trump is throwing himself a multi-million dollar birthday party on the taxpayer’s dime, we're taking to the streets. Our rights are not up for debate. 📸 Scout Tufankjian
Protesters chant “shame” at cars with Trump flags. Love it! 🔥
The “No Kings” protest in my hometown of Huntington, New York is growing bigger and bigger by the minute. There literally are people up and down the block as far as the eye can see!! ✊🇺🇸 #NoKingsDay
US Senate Republicans seek to limit judges' power via Trump's tax-cut bill reut.rs/4n5tgEs
Everyone going out to protest tomorrow, I want you to above all BE SAFE!!! Check out my latest about how to make sure your time exercising your first amendment right is done safely and effectively!! open.substack.com/pub/harrydun...
SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”
TACO Trump now wants to make sure his rich Republican friends have enough migrant labor for their corporations.
