This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Zelensky: Russian strikes are becoming more and more audacious and large-scale every night. 900 strike drones against Ukraine in three days, plus missiles - this makes no military sense, but it is a clear political choice - Putin's choice - the choice to continue fighting and destroying lives.

A vote like this feeds cynicism about the Democratic Party not being real and not being about what they purportedly stand for. Itโ€™s pathetic that some of our senators are still not operating as a unified opposition to all aspects of this authoritarian regime.

Last night, 16 Senate Democrats voted with Republicans to advance a crypto-friendly bill that will enable Trumpโ€™s corruption. Instead of standing up to Trump, these 16 Democrats decided theyโ€™d rather do a big favor for the crypto industry and legitimize an avenue for Trump to collect bribes.

Let me break it down: Who: Congressional Republicans What: Cutting Medicaid โ€จ Why: To pay for tax breaks for the rich When: Weโ€™re voting this week Whatโ€™s at stake: 150,000 Minnesotans and nearly 14 million Americans would lose health care if it passes

Tuberville doesn't know the three branches of the U.S. government in which he serves, but he knows that Putin wants Odessa, Crimea, and limits to NATO. And Tuberville can't blame Putin for those demands. Huh.

Tuberville: "Putin is to the point where he's making so much progress ... he's gonna want a lot from the Ukrainians. He's gonna want a lot in terms of land, possibly even Odessa, he's gonna want Crimea, but he's gonna want NATO to stay away from his borders, and I can't blame him for that."

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

But last night - late at night - they passed it after promising more cuts to the hard line.

On Friday, we got an important reminder about how we can still fight back. The GOP majorities in Congress are thin โ€” if we keep applying pressure and just 4 Republicans defect, we have a chance to stop these tax breaks for billionaires paid for with cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.

We know exactly why House Republicans will meet in the dead of night on Wednesday to prepare Trumpโ€™s budget for the floorโ€”because theyโ€™re cowards who want to hide away while they gut health care and food assistance. They think we wonโ€™t notice. They better think again.

Imagine being so bad at running the country that you waste time banning the 0.2% of troops who are trans instead of fixing the economy like you promised on day one. The eggs are still HIGH, Donnie. We are headed straight for a recession. If folks want to serve, LET THEM.

The Supreme Court said the Trump administration can begin immediately enforcing a ban on transgender service members in the military. Read more: cnn.it/4m9fdx6

I join millions in mourning the passing of Pope Francis. He was a moral and compassionate leader who stood with the marginalized and worked to make the Church a more inclusive place. His kindness and faith touched so many lives around the world. May he rest in peace, and may his legacy live on.

Your wallet is being cleaned out by expert pickpockets. This is criminal. Literally criminal. I call for an IMMEDIATE investigation into who knew what, when, and what they did with the info. You can bet the Admin and many here in DC are considerably richer tonight than they were this morning.

Yep, it's rough watching everyone from late night hosts to lightweight tech YouTubers explain the still dangerous effects & likely intents of this erratic policy both more honestly & accessibly than news outlets. Since Colbert explains how 125% tariffs on China are a systematic risk, CNN should too.

Dave Vetter@davidrvetter.bsky.social

Absolutely excruciating to see the BBC, CNN and everyone else dressing up Trump's industrial-scale stock market fraud as "relief", "making nice" or a "climb down". Wittingly or unwittingly, our media are once again accomplices.

BREAKING โ€” DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me. FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trumpโ€™s manipulation of markets this week.

This past week, the Chinese learned 1) exactly where Trump's pain points are; 2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches; and 3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president. Highly useful information.

Yesterday, we sent a historically big message to Trump, Musk, and the GOP โ€” and we also sent a signal to all those who agree with us but have spent the last few months feeling shaken, hopeless, and afraid. #handsoff
