Good job, America.
Good job, America.
And Jesus said, “Take away their healthcare in the interests of righteousness “ .
Try living next to a coal powered factory… they started out legitimate but were quickly corrupted for the perverse reasons you mentioned
Exciting news for Colorado students & educators! I just signed new laws that boost classroom funding, including $412 more per student with a bipartisan school finance formula—the first major update in 30 years! Let's ensure every student has the resources to thrive!
I think what is particularly infuriating is that Trump has been using stochastic terrorism for nearly a decade now and not only does the media not suggest he’s responsible for the actions he inspires but it outright scolds anyone on the left that even suggests he is.
Russia kidnapped Hanna at 21, held her for years—and now it’s locking her up for a decade. 🧵1/8⬇️
It doesn't get reiterated enough that "human on a bicycle" is not only the most efficient way that a person can move, it's the most efficient form of motion ***ever observed in land animals***.
What exactly did House Republicans just vote for? -14 million Americans to lose their health care -18 million kids to lose their free school meals -5.4 million people to lose food assistance It’s not about waste or fraud or abuse. It’s about a bigger tax cut for the rich.
NEW: "Whether or not HB 1205 survives legal scrutiny, the message for Florida voters is unmistakable. When citizen power becomes too effective, the Republican-led state will try to find a way to shut it down." www.democracydocket.com/analysis/gop...
They view them simply as expenditures, and would gladly kill as many of them as possible, assuming they believe they still have the margins to win elections in those jurisdictions
Vat taxes… tax on vats? Or value-added taxes taxes?
This nails it.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: The Facebook account Trump shared with South Africa's president as "proof" of a genocide against white South Africans belonged to a fringe account that frequently posts racist imagery and pushes flat Earth conspiracies.

He’s not gonna like this.
One reason I don't think it's useful to argue about the correct tactics for Democrats to win elections is winning elections isn't enough. They've won the presidency 5 out of 9 times since 1992 and where are we now. The question is how we create something better than a dead cat bounce party
Just fyi… when the Democrats passed their healthcare bill in the middle of the night it sparked the tea party. GOP is toast for this… IF the Dems can get their crap together
The current budget bill is an atrocity and out-of-touch leaders like Chuck Schumer laid the groundwork by voting for the CR. Appeasement and complicity do not work. When you bend the knee, they’ll break your leg.
When you say something 100% true that people don’t want to hear, because it makes them feel ashamed for the evil things they have done and will continue to do, instead of changing their mind they just get really, really angry at you for saying the truth. This is why everything is so fucked up.
South Africa’s murder rate for white farmers was 54.5 per 100,000 in 2023, lower than the national average of 78 per 100,000. Doesn’t sound like “white genocide” to me.
BREAKING NEWS: Trump has taken possession of his bribe, in contravention of federal criminal statute and the Constitution. He’s hiding behind the USAF and DOJ to intimidate Congress—which must initiate impeachment proceedings. Bribery is one of two enumerated impeachable offenses. Much more here:
Thou shalt not talk about BribeJet or pictures of seashells or criticize his morality or call his mental condition into question or else he will get really really angry and post an ALL CAPS LIE on LieSocial and then sue you and eventually lose. So you know, oh no.
They want a neo-feudalist society.
Q: VIETNAM wants tariffs dropped. So what does Trump get? A: A golf course for his family, and Starlink access: TLDR: The Trump family is looting 🇺🇸 foreign policy. (Hey @NBCNews @Reuters — saying these negotiations are “separate” is deeply unserious) www.nbcnews.com/world/asia/t...
It is robbery, plain and simple
It’s now hour 15 of the Rules Committee hearing and we’ve had enough of Republicans’ “magic math.” So, let me put this plainly — the Republican budget will increase the national deficit by trillions of dollars. Period.
The president of the United States has spent more time attacking Bruce Springsteen than addressing the fact that 771,480 men, women, and children were counted as homeless last year.
No one should hold public office without passing a basic civics test. Period.
The GOP budget bill is 1,116 pages long but it boils down to this one simple fact: Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people. It's Robin Hood in reverse.
we need a Democratic party for the left
the belief that it’s inevitable that as the youth gets older, the more left the country will swing needs to be thrown out. the kids will not “save us” if the kids aren’t welcome in the party that is supposedly on their side! the party needs to completely embrace the populist left

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss
So true!
Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, does not know what Habeas Corpus is. Dwell on this fact.
Brilliant idea! Next they’ll invent seatbelts and call them “freedom straps.”
He'd never do it but Ken would probably be the best president you could dream up. You want rank meritocracy based on test scores, then here you go. The Debate Me guys sure would shut the fuck up right quick.
Why tf has joe not done a “joe rogaine” ad campaign
House Republicans don’t want you to watch their 1:00 AM hearing to kick millions of Americans off their health insurance and rip away food and basic nutrition from millions of kids and seniors. Defy the billionaires and watch anyway:

Fact checking alone isn't enough when these people speak Fact-twist-checking is the new gold standard. Sheesh.
16 Democrats joined Republicans to advance crypto regulation that's been rubber stamped by the industry — as Trump profits off his own memecoin. Why? Crypto corporations have shelled out huge campaign contributions to both parties. Big Money has corrupted the system.
Why the FUCK did SIXTEEN Democratic Senators just vote for Trump’s crypto-coin bill?!?! WHY IS EVERYONE CORRUPT?!?

Republicans are on track to destroy Senate rules so polluters can pollute more. Plain and simple.
It's scary to think of what might have happened if Biden had run again and won. Imagine what it would be like for America to be governed for four years by an elderly man in cognitive decline.
“The press doesn't give a shit.”
Republicans are about to strip 13.7 million Americans of healthcare so does anyone know where I can find some nonstop coverage about the previous president being old??
um…
The truth disgusts them Their reflection in a mirror is like sunlight to a vampire
lol
Kristi Noem incorrectly defined habeas corpus as the president’s right to deport people. Huh? That’s… not even close.
The payouts to Babbitt’s family, the pardons of J6 insurrectionists and war criminals, and the growing push on the right to exonerate Chauvin all show that the GOP will forgive any crime if they see it as defending the set of hierarchies they believe constitutes the real America.
Senator Baldwin (D-WI) asks who is responsible for not funding billions of dollars of grants for lifesaving medical research. RFK Jr. (prick) doesn’t answer multiple times. Baldwin states some facts. RFK Jr.: “This is a fun game we’re playing.” That motherfucker.
This is why Trump said today that Massie should be voted out of office. This kind of honesty is not permitted in Donald Trump’s Republican Party.
Too stupid to form a nucleus of opposition
Literally
Congrats to all Republicans and 16 Democrats for passing the Bribing The President Is Legal Now Act. A cool side effect of this bill is it makes it considerably easier for your kid to buy fentanyl-laced narcotics from a new class of predators on Minecraft, also likely created by this bill.
There needs to be a spreading hands emoji for posts like this. This is so well said.

Graham is pathetic.
Blumenthal to Noem: "Some of the expenditures your department is making- $200m for an ad campaign fawning over Trump's supposed accomplishments...none of these expenditures are in your budget...you're just spending recklessly & it would seem wastefully without authorization. That's against the law."
A Rhode Island hospital is taking away the health care of striking health care workers. Over 800 staffers at Butler Hospital, unionized with SEIU 1199NE, struck after negotiations stalled. Now management is trying to break the strike by cutting workers' insurance. www.wpri.com/news/local-n...
Right now, RFK Jr, Rubio, Zeldin, and Kristi Noem are all testifying before Congress. It is simply impossible to follow so many hearings at the same time and unfortunate that they are all scheduled simultaneously.
They are so dumb. So very, very dumb.
OMFG
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect
They're arresting Members of Congress. Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order. Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.
MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

Thank you, Romanian voters! No Putin puppets!
As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe. But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵
As cringe as having an American pope is, he was certainly one of the more palatable options
I don’t think terminally online atheists/agnostics realize what a vanishing small percent of the global population they actually are, and that for the foreseeable future, it is either Catholicism or Islam that will dominate developing countries; I think our preference should be clear though
He is younger than I expected, he could live for 20 years. But I’m not surprised they didn’t pick a pope native to a developing country where the future of the church is just yet
At least he’s not a Protestant
Fingers crossed this turns out well… or is that blasphemy?

Either way, this is clearly a justice system that is not concerned with a prosperous society full of well functioning individuals; it wants to keep the downtrodden in their place and relishes in dishing out punishment while doing nothing to try and actually improve the society it serves
How many other decent countries still allow indentured servitude as punishment for a crime? As long as that is the case, there are severely perversion incentives in the justice system . Some of these men may have genuinely committed terrible crimes, others of them likely did not.
No words… 😢
That type of person is literally among the biggest fucking crybabies in human history
