Again: this is not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
Love traveling, photography, music, long walks, and my little dog Beau. Believe in being kind to everyone.

Not great that people like Micah Beckwith are in positions of power but don’t understand how our constitution works, and are arrogant in their ignorance.
@diedrichbader.bsky.social
What amazing and beautiful gift. One that comes from his heart.
Donald Trump is taking food directly out of the mouths of our people and money out of the pockets of small business owners and local economies. That includes our food banks, like the St. Louis Area Foodbank, which will have to deal with devastating cuts to SNAP.
Should be a huge scandal. No doubt won’t be.
WATCH: Colbert’s first monologue since the cancelation. “For the next ten months the gloves are off. I can say what I really think about Donald Trump, starting right now.” youtu.be/VIZegLAvK8o?...
Republicans are going to let ACA tax credits expire. What does that mean? If you get your healthcare from the Marketplace you will be paying 75% more on average for your premium. I’m fighting back. Call your Representative and tell them to stop premium hikes.
@raskin.house.gov: "They'd conscripted 1000 FBI agents to be working around the clock 24 hours going through 100,000 Epstein documents and told them to flag any mentions of Donald Trump... This might be one of the most massive cover-ups in the history of the United States unfolding before our eyes."
Thank you Stephen Colbert for your willingness to speak truth to power. Staying far from timid. And never bending the knee to a wannabe king.
Dear @stephencolbert.bsky.social, Thanks for all the years of speaking truth to power & finding the funny in fascism. Looking forward to following you wherever you land, Your fan, Mar🐫
Jamie Lee Curtis on The Late Show cancellation. “They’re trying to silence us. That won’t work…we’ll just get louder”
Congrats to Stephen Colbert for never bending the knee.
“I stand with my friend Stephen Colbert. And hey CBS, Paramount & Shari Redstone: “Institutions that are willing to sacrifice their values for the government’s favor are likely to end up with neither.” -David A. Graham” -Julia Louis-Dreyfus
CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.
🧵I spent 10+ years working at Iowa Public Television because I believe in honest, local reporting for all. Rural Iowans rely on public broadcasting for weather reports, local political coverage, & news. I’m pretty pissed off the GOP cut funding for it in the middle of the night.
Neguse: Only in Washington, D.C. could politicians come to the floor and brag about cutting $9 billion from rural radio stations while two weeks ago they voted to increase the deficit by $4 trillion. Spare us these lectures.
Stephen Colbert is a profoundly good and deeply talented man with a great staff and an excellent show. They all deserve better.
Trump on Jerome Powell: “He’s a terrible Fed chair. I was surprised he was appointed.” Trump appointed Jerome Powell during his first term in office.
That there’s a police state.
Torres: If the bill is so popular, why are the cuts largely delayed until after the midterm election? And if the bill surgically targets fraud, waste and abuse, why is it necessary to set up a $50 billion stabilization fund for rural hospitals?
And... they misspelled "AUSCHWITZ."
She’s right again, you know. She usually is.
“Congress” didn’t pass this murder budget. Republicans did it. Republicans did it without a single Democratic vote in the House, without a single Democratic vote in the Senate. Be precise and give, uh, credit where credit is due
I grew up in a working-class family. I’m running for Congress by day and waiting tables by night. I know what working families need because I’ve lived it — and I’ll fight for policies that work for us, not the wealthy and well-connected.
In light of the news that the US economy has *lost* jobs under Donald Trump, it bears a reminder that the US economy *never* lost jobs in *any* month under Joe Biden. What an incompetent loser Donald is.
McGovern: "For those Republicans who think it's okay to give Jeff Bezos a tax cut and at the same time cut food benefits for struggling families, let me say clearly: We don't share the same values... I believe there's a special place in hell for people who take food away from veterans, seniors..."
Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.
“This is a tragedy, a heartbreak. But I hope it will motivate us to deepen our commitment to overcoming this cruel regime…including taking to the streets in protest. This is a day for outrage and sadness, but we can’t let it discourage us from the job ahead.” www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-a...
uh the House bill throws 16 million people off their health care coverage
We the people have spoken. Congress must do their job and represent the will of the nation. Say NO to “King” Donakd!
If trump hadn’t thrown out the agreement we had with Iran none of this would have happened But he just couldn’t let President Obama have a win
Proud of my friend and fictional daughter Meg on the release of her new album and grateful that her actual dad Mike also came to the listening party so i wasn’t the oldest guy there Give a listen to the album it’s really fun and the title song is really deep
When you’re just grabbing brown people
ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity. ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.
Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...
Your garden is always so beautiful. You must have a green thumb. Thank you for posting.
PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015. THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide! This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…
LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

When will voters ever learn that the GOP is not the fiscally responsible party?
When we get through this despicable period in America—and we will get through it—Americans will have learned why and how important government is to making life better.
When A President Isn’t A Criminal Propped Up By A Corrupt Supreme Court…
Love this man
🧵 NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night. Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.” She’s a constituent. Not a threat. Fascism again.

In what world is this a good idea? Unsurprisingly, Republicans are silent as Trump's Department of Justice cruelly rescinds already-approved funds to help end gun violence, prevent opioid addiction, and support victims of crime.
To everyone celebrating today

Hi, I’m autistic and I’m the mayor of my city.
Putin
Despite a court order, Donald Trump is still refusing to allow journalists from the Associated Press into the White House press pool. This is a direct assault on the First Amendment, free speech, and freedom of the press.
im sorry to be so divisive and partisan but i dont think the government should be inventing a criminal history out of thin air to justify sending someone to a concentration camp in a foreign country
I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.
Just a reminder that a tariff/tax on tea started this whole experiment
You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control
meanwhile, prominent pundits continue to deny that there the administration adheres to a segregationist ideology
well i am sure this administration will take strong action to make sure food safety is a top priority going forwa… hold on i am getting an update
👇🏻🎯👇🏻
Why can’t Trump, Vance or Rubio simply say this? Why won’t they?
My family got these payments when my dad died at 34 years old after serving in the Navy for a decade from what he had paid in. I was five. Jeanine is an incurious ignoramus. Thanks @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for correcting her, which is God’s work.
Cantwell: "You're telling us in your testimony you want a tariff on semiconductors. I'm saying that the last administration and this organization here passed the CHIPS and Science Act so we could reshore semiconductors. You're not going to win the innovation economy by tariffing semiconductors."
Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.
Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5
Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"
Some very fine people
It’s been one week since the news broke about Trump’s team sharing sensitive military information in a group chat. If Pete Hegseth had even a sliver of self-respect, he’d have resigned one week ago. And if Donald Trump were truly a leader, he’d have fired Hegseth one week ago.
Diversity initiatives were meant to overcome the old patterns of nepotism, so I guess it makes sense that the enemies of diversity are big fans of nepotism.
Someone tell DOGE! Brutal photo by huff post i love it

@mediakat1227.bsky.social Welcome. Glad to see you here. I joined when I saw Sean did. I know he was fed up with X as I was.
Anyone else going to watch Leonardo da Vinci tonight on PBS.
Your being too hard on yourself Sean. I love your music especially Someone to Love. When I was in the uk about 5 years ago I found this album in a shop and bought it.
Just found out PBS will be showing Ken Burns film Leonardo da Vinci on November 18 and 19. Excited to see it. @iamseanmaguire.bsky.social
It is. Welcome
Just joined and wanted to say hi to everyone here.
