John Roberts, my man. He was always going to keep testing you. You laid down a marker, and he passed right on by. Your move.

Trump is desperately looking for a scapegoat to cover for his own failure to lower costs for Americans and firing Lisa Cook is his latest move. It’s an authoritarian power grab that blatantly violates the Federal Reserve Act, and any court that follows the law will overturn it.

I’ll have you know, that I know: The reason we are here, is due to Democrats being cowards and spineless for decades. We cannot get out of this with the same attitudes! You really fucked us politicians…

If “current policy” becomes the norm in reconciliation, one (very) hypothetical example of how Democrats could wield it: Pass a $10 trillion Medicare For All bill for 1 yr at a $1T sticker price & extend it permanently the next year at a $0 cost. All without nuking the filibuster.

The Trump admin in a nutshell; in order to justify their own mistake, they’re going to release a violent felon with five deportations so he can testify against the guy with no criminal record they mistakenly deported. In other words, the story is always more important than the principle.

The Trump admin has freed Jose Hernandez Reyes because he can testify against Abrego Garcia. Hernandez, who has been deported 5 times, has also been arrested for: —DUI w/ a handgun; —cocaine possession; —illegally transporting migrants; and —drunkenly firing a gun. Free link: wapo.st/40i4Ttt

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

cbsnews.comHundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical careHospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.

As self-professed Christian Republicans prepare to steamroll this nation with a budget that gives massive tax cuts to the wealthy while gutting supports for the poor, the sick, and the elderly, we see how selfishness has poisoned Evangelical Christianity. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-lie-of...

The CBO just released a score on Republicans' existing mega-package and found that the GOP budget plan would increase the deficit by $2.3 trillion over a decade. It would boost the incomes of the richest 10% of Americans while lowering the incomes of the lowest 10%.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

When you see how enraged the press is by the prospect of an old man getting older, you get a small sense of what they could do when the most corrupt human alive tries to end democracy in 100 days.

There are many reasons we're here in fascism, but one of the biggest is that nearly all members of the media have spent the last ten years not asking Donald Trump a follow-up question.

This is what ICE does: just like they stalked the family’s car and smashed the windows in to kidnap them. They attack people on the streets grab them and take them to concentration camps. Entire neighborhoods gather to protect little babies & their moms from being separated & kidnapped.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

We're way up shit creek and we just lost our paddle.

RFK Jr. ordered the NIH’s Integrated Research Facility in Frederick to stop all research on serious infectious diseases yesterday at 5:00 PM. They study pathogens like Ebola there. You may be familiar with it from The Hot Zone. www.wired.com/story/hhs-ni...
