I’m no great fan of the ACA. I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system. But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.

Idiocy. The federal government won’t do its job, and now it’s forbidding states from caring for their own citizens when the federal government refuses to do so.

Gift link: Massachusetts (Senior) Judge resigning so he can speak out. And no, Trump can't nominate anyone to fill this role because successor is already in place. #momsky www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

WHY THE FUCK ARE REPUBLICAN DUMB-ASSES ARGUING OVER JUST HOW MUCH NAZISM IS AN ACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF NAZISM WITHIN THEIR OWN PARTY? SPOILER ALERT: IT'S BECAUSE REPUBLICANS FUCKING SUCK, THAT'S WHY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY POST. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/4otbkDN

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Jon Stewart doesn't miss ☠️☠️☠️

Here’s how Jimmy Fallon responded to Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off air:

🚨WHOA!!! What a powerful moment. "I'm your host, Stephen Colbert, but tonight we are all Jimmy Kimmel."

"The man who oversees the nation’s military reposted a video about a Christian nationalist church that included various pastors saying women should no longer be allowed to vote.

Wildfires in Colorado have cost taxpayers over $40 million this year alone. This is yet another reminder that Coloradans save $6 for every $1 spent on wildfire prevention. It is critical that we prioritize investments in wildfire prevention — to save taxpayer dollars and to save lives.

We have hit pay dirt, so please stop talking about what we will forever call "the Jeffrey EPSTEIN Hoax" Sadly, his PAST supporters have bought into this "bullshit" hook, line and sinker. We should just be grateful he doesn't want their support anymore & stick together like glue. #EPSTEINS4EVER

Christian Nationalism is a pernicious threat.

This is more like it. These dangerous times call for aggressive responses.

An… um… interesting choice for a state superintendent who favors book bans to remove pornography from schools and libraries, and who tried to use public funds to place Bibles in all schools. nondoc.com/2025/07/25/b...

a thin white woman in head to toe lululemon screaming at these thugs makes me think ICE has jumped the shark

“In Cell 15, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia and 20 other Salvadorans were forced to kneel from approximately 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM, with guards striking anyone who fell from exhaustion. During this time, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was denied bathroom access and soiled himself…”

Important to know that these cuts kick in right after the 2026 midterms. That’s how you know they know it’s bad.

You could be on Medicaid right now, and not even know it — that's because it's called something different in every state. So when House Republicans talk Medicaid cuts, they could be going after YOUR care. Call your representative today. youtube.com/shorts/NzWim...

When history marks the point where we lost the future to China, this will be it.

Socialism for the wealthy helps the fewest number.

What the actual hell?! A close Trump advisor and MAGA figure just posted, “Alligator lives matter. The good news is alligators are guaranteed 65 million meals if we get started now.” This is disgusting, it’s genocidal language. Dehumanizing, dangerous, and unacceptable. How is this even real life?

Absolutely disgusting

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

Both a coward and sell out.

Trump's budget includes the biggest cuts to SNAP in modern history. Republicans will let kids go hungry so the wealthy can get another tax break. Shameful.

Trump and republicans are gambling with people’s lives. Their ‘Big Ugly Bill’ guts Medicaid, stripping health care from millions. The human cost could be deadly.

Which is making America great again: (1) the contracting economy; or (2) the concentration camps?

Contributor: Those cuts to 'overhead' costs in research? They do real damage

Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

For Trump, a military conflict with Iran would distract from:  -Sinking poll numbers -A devastating (and unpopular) budget bill -Harmful trade wars  -Unleashing the military on American soil -Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism We must remain on high alert. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU. Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.

The man who launched an attempted coup on the United States in 2020 and instigated an insurrection at the Capitol that resulted in five deaths now claims that people in Los Angeles are launching an insurrection. They’re not. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

The Trump administration handed over the immigration status of millions of Medicaid enrollees to deportation officials, data that could be used to locate and remove people as part of his sweeping crackdown.

Minnesota was just ranked the 5th best state for child wellbeing — here’s why: ✅ Free school meals ✅ Nation-leading Child Tax Credit ✅ Paid family and medical leave

Cruelty is the point, and chaos is the blueprint.

When LA *is* burning, Trump watches Fox News and threatens to pull emergency funding for existing fires in California. When LA *isn't* burning, Trump goes on Fox News to announce he is spending MILLIONS on people in uniforms to pretend to stop nonexistent fires in California.

What's happening in Los Angeles right now and what happened at the Capitol on Jan 6 share something: They both resulted directly from Donald J. Trump's lies.

Marines activated to deploy to Los Angeles amid ICE protests Approximately 700 Marines have been activated and are expected to deploy to Los Angeles. They will join hundreds of National Guard troops already sent by the Trump administration. www.cbsnews.com/news/marines... @anntelnaes.bsky.social

I haven’t heard from the DMV, but I have gotten a couple of texts from a scammer claiming to be contacting me about overdue toll fees. Always check with the company directly.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
