According to the latest estimate, Republicans' megabill could cost 20 million Americans their health insurance, including as many as 900,000 Virginians.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

“I am also a friend and a mom. I get the texts.” I explain what to do if you are concerned about traveling this summer. I get a dozen texts a day from family and friends about the same. @cnn.com

By @alejandrabee.bsky.social The House and Senate both voted to loosen regulations on air pollutants like dioxin and mercury, which are associated with higher cancer risk.

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the check out line. And they're regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies. They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

From Nov 7:

WELKER: Trump promised he was going to improve the economy on day one. What's your message to Americans who want to retire and have just seen their lifetime savings drop significantly? BESSENT: Most Americans who have put away for years in savings accounts don't look at the day to day fluctuations

WELKER: The markets lost more than $6 trillion in value. Was this disruption always part of the plan? BESSENT: We had record volume on Friday and everything is working very smoothly. So the American people can take great comfort in that.

Wow. #HandsOff rally in St. Paul, Minnesota is massive!

Demonstrations took place across the country, uniting a myriad of criticisms of the Trump administration under one message: "Hands off."

Today in Ruby Red Naples, Florida 3k+ #Indivisible #handoff

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL. #HandsOff

The Trump administration has removed environmental protections covering more than half of the land managed by the U.S. Forest Service as part of the president’s aim to significantly bolster the U.S. logging industry.

The Rains of Castemere

By the way whenever we come out of a deep recession like 2008, the rich get richer

Absolutely incredible turn out at MN State Capitol! #HandsOff

Trump officials quietly move to reverse bans on toxic ‘forever chemicals’ EPA bids to change chemical risk evaluations, which could expose public to higher levels of PFAS and other pollutants www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Almost all NOAA Research websites that rely on cloud services - including Amazon, Google and WordPress - are poised to disappear at midnight ET Saturday after a contract was targeted for "early termination." Labs may also feel the effects. Story for @bloomberg.com (free link):

Protest just getting started here in Chicago.

The subreddit r/stocks has pinned a suicide hotline post, after stocks were down trillions this week:

When President Trump fired the head of the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command on Thursday, it was the latest in a series of moves that have torn away at the country’s cyberdefenses just as they are confronting the most sophisticated and sustained attacks in the nation’s history.

I tried typing “imagine if President Biden publicly promoted the idea that he was deliberately crashing the stock market as a “chess move” for the good of the nation” without imploding under the weight of the pointlessness of it

They’re all convincing themselves the US was never a democracy to begin with. It’s wild to see in real time.

Tonight, Democrats forced a vote on a simple amendment. To remove new tariffs that are increasing the cost of groceries, gas and housing. Republicans rejected it.

Tonight, we forced Republicans to take a simple vote: Can we all agree that billionaire corporations like Amazon and Tesla - who take home over $1 billion in sheer profit a year - shouldn't get another tax handout? Republicans said no.

Security News This Week: NSA Chief Ousted Amid Trump Loyalty Firing Spree Plus: Another DOGE operative allegedly has a history in the hacking world, and Donald Trump’s national security adviser apparently had way more Signal chats than previously known.

This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.

WATCH: Senate Republicans just *blocked* Sen. Ossoff’s amendment to reverse cuts to the Social Security Administration ordered by Elon Musk.

Katherine Clark: "What they are doing here is wrecking the infrastructure of Social Security so they can rob the benefit ... it is an outrageous ripoff of the American taxpayer that we are seeing from this administration."

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

Then I’m sure they won’t be asking for government subsidies to compensate for the impacts tariffs have on them.

I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq
