the complete dysfunction and insanity of American politics can be summarized by the fact that they made up the fake Pizzagate scandal while the actual real Epstein scheme & coverup was happening
My thoughts exactly

🤔 Wonder what percentage of MAGAs actually know what "Medicaid" is called in their State, so that they don't even realize that the Orange Ogre desires to gut their benefits❓️❓️❓️
The bottom line on the Trump Big Ugly Bill is this If the Republicans pass it, tens of thousands of Americans will die It's shameful It's despicable It's morally repugnant And-the worst part is They're doing it so they can give tax breaks to billionaires We Won't Get Over Losing Medicaid
If Iran abandoning the nuclear program is supposedly the goal, why on God's green earth did this orange dipstick tear up the deal that was already in place when he took office the first time?!? Oh yeah...Obama did it.
First time I’ve seen a picture of the silent majority
Kendall Roy, finding out he no longer has world's worst birthday party:
Absolutely. And all of this chaos is going to get someone killed. Or perhaps, given the fake police officer who assassinated the MN Rep and her husband last night, MORE people killed.
Reposting this:
Reinforcing my friend @radiofreetom.bsky.social. We’re required to refused to obey illegal orders. The military is trained on that, starting in basic. It’s also unfair to National Guard and active Marines to even put them in that circumstance against fellow citizens if not a true emergency.
As long as reporters in the briefing room and in the rope line etc don’t garbage Trump and Leavitt with this question - why did you pardon J6ers if you care about police safety? - they’ll continue to behave shamelessly hypocritically and won’t face any consequences.
💯💯💯💯
Let’s Not Lose Focus….
Zero. The answer is zero dollars
The dictator of one of the United States' enemies is using the President of the United States to announce military attacks on a United States ally.
Tarlov: When you look at the statistics of who they’re actually arresting, you know they’re wearing masks because they’re not making good on the promises they made to the American people of arresting criminals. They want to pick up everybody who is here illegally which is not what he campaigned on.
The Senate is currently considering a reconciliation spending bill that will fundamentally transform American society. The bill wastes taxpayer money on overly-punitive immigration enforcement while cutting programs that support working families. Urge your Senator to vote NO on this bill 👇
Adding $2.4 trillion to the national debt while slashing Medicaid & destabilizing healthcare access for millions. Make America Great Again? More like, Make America Broke & Sick Again.
The "big beautiful bill" that the House GOP placed before the Senate is a massive transfer of wealth from the poorest Americans to the richest. - The bottom 20% will see their income DECLINE BY 10%. - The top 0.1% will get a GIGANTIC WINDFALL. Contact your Senators here: bit.ly/4kEejHg

No more masked ICE agents. Unmask the terrorists.

In Massachusetts, Medicaid covers almost 2 million people. A third of all newborn babies and their mamas. Over a third of all kids. Two-thirds of all nursing home residents. So understand this: when the GOP tries to gut Medicaid, they attack communities all over our Commonwealth.
This is one of the things that happens when woefully unqualified and incompetent people take jobs in which they are so far in over their head, they have no idea what to do. Resign is of the best option
Correct. Spending $45 million on a birthday party for the President, while the administration says we can’t afford Medicaid, shows just how bankrupt their priorities really are.
Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
The Medicaid bullshit is driving me up a wall. We’re going to kick a million people off of healthcare who are not overwhelming the system, they aren’t at fault for any reason the economy is fucked, Medicaid isn’t “going broke” or in need of fixing, no problem is being solved, just deathcult bullshit
"The EO makes no attempt to hide the fact that it is cutting off the flow of funds to PBS because of the content of PBS programming out of a desire to alter the content of speech. That is blatant viewpoint discrimination and an infringement of PBS and PBS Member Stations' ... editorial discretion."
Folks Trump has no authority to fire the National Portrait Gallery director and no one need report it as if he does
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is under scrutiny for a $50M Gulfstream jet request, funded by the Coast Guard's budget. It's a misuse of taxpayer money and prioritizes luxury over essential services.#AdminOfGrift
U.S. intel agencies are building a centralized portal to buy Americans’ personal data—no warrant needed. Location, browsing, even politics. Congress failed to stop it. Privacy is being sold off in bulk, and civil liberties are on the line. #PrivacyRights theintercept.com/2025/05/22/i...
Man Feared to Be Cognitively Slipping After Writing Book About Wrong President
Wonder how many people Trump is negotiating foreign policy and tariffs with, that have children and other relatives going to Harvard and other Ivy League schools ?
Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless
What is a nation supposed to do when its leader is publicly committing impeachable offenses on a daily basis and the impeachment process is utterly broken due to slightly more than half of the nation's Congress being members of a cult dedicated to destroying rule of law
North Carolina voted for Trump in all three of his POTUS elections. As North Carolinians struggle to recover from Hurricane Helene, Trump just denied their FEMA request. Conservative voters: Understand this—he does not care about you. He never has. Stop voting for him. He will destroy you, too.
AOC 💥
So: 1) Takes food from children 2) Gives the richest man in the world a tax cut 3) Makes the deficit worse
The GOP held a hearing on their unfinished thousand-page bill at 1:00 AM. Now they’re getting ready to hold the final vote on the largest destruction of health care in American history in the dead of night.
JOINT DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP STATEMENT ON PASSAGE OF THE GOP TAX SCAM Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Whip Katherine Clark and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar just released the following statement:
Boyle: We just verified with the congressional budget office and of 13.7 million Americans who will lose their health care because of their bill, exactly zero are undocumented immigrants
Here’s our “Big Beautiful Bill”. We are truly fucked America!
You might think this is an argument for an effective NSC. But it is actually an illustration of the reason Trump doesn't want an NSC at all.
You know what has been missing from all the GOP discussion about this horrendous bill they just passed? Any justification or discussion at all about WHY do BILLIONAIRES and MILLIONAIRES need a big tax cut? Will a hundred thousand or even a million less in taxes mean anything to Musk or Bezos? #Greed
It’s hardly surprising that the same people who were fine with older Americans dying from Covid have no issues with cutting Medicare.
McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"
Speak Truth.......🎯💯🔥
Olszewski: We’re still learning in real time what this bill even includes. Taking out fees on gun silencers? Making tanning easier—while they’re gutting food benefits and taking away healthcare from people. They’re turning their backs on veterans. It also adds trillions to the deficit.
For years many African nations have had a reputation for corruption. Even though S. Africa may not have been one of them, Trump soliciting a bribe today from a leader of an African nation makes the impact of America's current third-world-wannabe-dictator situation all the more sobering and shameful
@warren.senate.gov: "They're fighting over how many children should go hungry so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island."
Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.
Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.
That's Exactly What He Did And It Was All Illegal!!
What is a world when you steal healthcare from the most vulnerable among us to make the richest Americans even richer?
Looks like we're just months away from seeing these sitting in peoples' front lawns with flowers planted where the hood used to be.
Does anybody else think it's just plain weird that a guy who tried to violently overthrow our government was allowed to run for president again?
Too bad MAGA dumbfucks are too dumb to figure this out.
What purpose does ICE detaining an immigrant like this serve? This guy's established in the US. Married to a citizen with 4 kids. Gainfully employed. And on the verge of citizenship. Why would ICE detain this guy and have the taxpayers foot his detention and eventual deportation. Unnecessary. Cruel.
i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet
Because the video was an exhibit, not graves. Apparently this one along the road was a political event from a white minority politician. But there's a similar White Cross Monument set up by some white farmers who've made this their cause.
Dingell: They are going to rip healthcare away from almost 14 million people. When I was at home, a mother had her child in a wheelchair and started crying on the elevator—she wanted me to promise her that her child would still be able to go to the doctor. Children’s Hospital in Detroit—
More signs of Trump's cognitive decline. He overuses/misuses certain words. Like today in the Oval, he he said people in the video were showing "love." Watch for "love" and other words as crutches. The flashes of rage. The crudeness ("shove it up their a**") at the Kennedy Center. Drip, drip, drip.
A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035. Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.
🔥 @RepMcGovern: “THIS IS NOT POLICY. THIS IS THEFT… done under the cover of night.” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer
Grounds for impeachment, pure and simple.
Fact checking alone isn't enough when these people speak Fact-twist-checking is the new gold standard. Sheesh.
Angie Craig: "I have no idea why we think it's a good idea to repeal a tax on silencers when we are going to feed fewer children in our country as a result of this. It's a moral damn failure is what it is."
Katherine Clark: "At the end of the day, it is denial of healthcare for women in this country. And at the same time, we have a White House lamenting, 'Why aren't women having children? Maybe we'll give them $5k' ... the American family is put last."
so sorry for your loss. dogs are the best!!!
Neguse was grilling Jim Jordan so hard this morning over language in the reconciliation bill to restrict federal judges' ability to enforce court penalties that Jordan had to consult with his lawyers
Phang: And you’ve got to appreciate that the congresswoman was able to say, “Look, this ain’t Fox News, buddy. This is Congress.” So if you’re going to be here and you’re going to try to make an allegation somewhere publicly, you better be able to back it up.
This has nothing to do with Biden, but like many of Trump's rants sounds like a personal confession -- along with a plea for help to get out of the grip of the thugs surrounding him and an acknowledgement that something "severe" should happen to him for his crimes.
The GOP's budget would make brutal cuts to food assistance and our colleagues won't shield veterans from their cruelty. Veterans are not waste. They're not fraud. And they're not abuse.
This clearly demented sociopath is going all sundown & tweeting insane threats against anything that moves & blathering in public. Congressional Rs know he’s lost it & still pretend it’s all normal. Unless he’s stopped, his “policies” will doom tens of thousands. So now history turns to SCOTUS.
