Don't buy into more GOP lies! They want the American people to believe they're cleaning up the system to make sure people who receive benefits actually *need* them. That's BS! In reality, they're robbing the needy while "trying to finance tax cuts for people who are inheriting $22 million houses!"

Russia is already waging a hybrid war against Europe, against NATO. It is probing and testing, looking for weaknesses and averted eyes. Russia is fully prepared to go further. ▪️ French intelligence claims that Russia is helping Iran develop missiles that could potentially reach France.

GD Culture Group-led by CEO Xiaojian Wang plans to buy $300 million of Trump’s meme coin. The company, w/8 employees, reported a $14 million net loss & is facing Nasdaq compliance issues. Now, it’s using secret offshore funding to pour millions into a coin that directly enriches trump #MomSky

"Young able-bodied men w/out dependents" are the new "welfare queens"...who used to be depicted as black women with a dozen kids. Even their offensive stereotypes are now restricted to dudebros.

Me on hour 14 of dragging Republican Medicaid cuts for filth and giving them no end in sight

It’s 2 am and we’re still marking up massive cuts to Medicaid. While their constituents are asleep, Republicans are trying to take away health care from 13.7 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. They want you to tune out. Don’t ⬇️ x.com/i/broadcasts...

When we say we want Democrats in the fight—this is it. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social hit the Senate floor blasting Trump for selling out U.S. security for billion-dollar bribes and a private jet. Then he took to the airwaves, not to sell a book, but to sound the alarm and call us to action.

After an ICE raid in Waltham, MA, on May 4, a 12-year-old boy was left alone after agents arrested the adult with him. A Neighborhood Watch volunteer told the child his rights & walked him home. Agents refused to ID themselves, and one drove his car at City Councilor Colleen Bradley-MacArthur.

Judge Swain's opinion and order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Do not call them ICE. Do not call them law enforcement. Call them what they are: Trump's Gestapo. These are masked thugs/secret police. They have no uniforms or identification. They don't have warrants--they just arrest anyone they see that doesn't have lily white skin! Immigrants: I'm #OnYourSide!

Sing it from the rooftops: congestion pricing in NYC is an unambiguous triumph. It is succeeding beyond its backers wildest aspirations & none of the second-order effects people worried about have come to pass. It's a pure win. Celebrate it! Talk about it! For once, let's own the f'ing narrative.

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to hear that Nigel Farage’s Reform UK ‘manifesto’ has been branded “unserious” and “unhinged” leftfootforward.org/2025/05/nige...

Someday Trump and MAGA will be gone, but we will always have footage of these people humiliating themselves every day to win his favor. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zgp0...

Read the whole thing. You won’t be surprised, but you should be outraged.

I was eager to see the Republican reactions to Trump's Qatar luxury jet corruption, and Rick Scott's take stood out: "'Gosh, let me give you a plane.' I mean, that seems pretty nice, but they support Hamas, so I don't know." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Bernie Sanders' office has put out a report this morning on Trump's NIH cuts: "Trump officials effectively cut $2.7 billion in [NIH] funding in the first three months of 2025 – including a 31 percent cut to cancer research through March, compared to the same timeframe last year."

Colorado Democrats just enacted a state-level Voting Rights Act. The new law restores and expands upon the protections in the federal VRA that the U.S. Supreme Court’s conservatives have dismantled

Oh look, more corruption: “The nation’s railroad agency, has brought in the Boring Company, the tunneling firm founded by Elon Musk, to see if it could help with a multibillion-dollar Amtrak project.”

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

I first saw this site weeks ago. It's important to flag that at this point, there is no direct evidence that this private website is directly connected to the Trump effort to resettle Afrikaners. That said, it's been built out a bunch since I last looked at it, making it look more official.

Make America Great Again.

Jamie Raskin is right as usual

Rand Paul on Fox Biz: "I do think the jet probably sends the wrong signal, and I don't like the look or appearance of it, so I would hope he would reject it. The Constitution specifically says you can't take gifts from foreign leaders."

I want to know who thinks this is ok? Republicans, you think abandoning a minor, he’s not even a teenager yet, is ok? The Worcester 50501 group is fighting back. They are organizing and protested hours after this happened. Get fired up! We are #OnYourSide #MomSky www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

wow, wonder who was president when no one was flying during covid?

The Republicans have gutted IRA in their budget. So now can we end the discourse that it's "environmentalists" who want to prevent the building of clean energy in America?

GEO Group donated $1 million to Trump’s Super PAC. Trump is now giving this private prison grp $1 billion of our tax $$ for 15 yrs to detain immigrants there w/o due process. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested in front of the grp’s new immigration detention center in Newark.

Hey ICE, this researcher fled Russia for a reason.

A sitting president accepting a $400 million luxury jumbo jet from a foreign nation isn’t diplomacy — it’s absurdly corrupt and a significant national security risk.

Qatar wants: - U.S. weapons - Military protection - U.S. foreign policy influence in the Middle East - Favorable trade terms and investment opportunities Trump wants: - bribes So Qatar gave him a $400 million plane and a $5.5 billion golf course deal. This isn’t complicated.

@vanessawilliamson.bsky.social‬ and Ellis Chen explore the efforts by the Trump administration to erode IRS's independent and nonpartisan civil service and politicize the agency, including the firing of probationary workers and DOGE's attempt to access sensitive IRS data.

Q: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied refugee status. So why such an exception for the Afrikaners? TRUMP ADMIN OFFICIAL: One of the criteria is making sure they can be assimilated easily into our country

Moments before an immigration court hearing in Mahmoud Khalil's case, our lawyers were abruptly banned from using laptops in the courtroom — but the government's lawyers weren't. No one should be denied the basic tools they need to defend themselves in court.

Courage in action👇

Powerful piece from Alondra Nelson. I understand people’s desire to stay in positions where they’ve made a difference, and to try to find ways to do so. But I respect people like Dr. Nelson who refuse to be part of—and implicitly endorse—a regime working against the missions of its own agencies.

Trump saluting Saudi officials at the Royal Court in Riyadh

Trump memecoin makes Page One: @nytimes.com @ericlipton.nytimes.com

Apparently “Donate” and “bribe” are interchangeable with these folks. What’s missing from every statement we’ve seen so far is the why. Why is Qatar “donating” a $400 million jet in Trump’s name?

A really excellent outburst of late night righteous indignation from @timmiller.bsky.social, on Trump's "depraved" treatment of Afghan refugees fleeing the Taliban and Venezuelans who've fled communism, compared to their unctuous welcome of white Afrikaners. www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-sic...

Democrats have been saying it for months And here it is-in black and white for all to see Republicans want to cut $715 billion from Medicaid Ripping away insurance from 13.7 million Americans Just to give billionaires like Elon Musk another tax break Don't Mess With Medicaid

Tomorrow, the 11th Circuit has a chance to tell a group that tries to keep eligible citizens from voting “no!” There’s a link in this piece so you can listen to the argument and decide for yourself whether the problem is voter fraud or voter suppression. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

We strongly advise the public not to do this, it’s unsafe. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted photos of himself and his grandkids swimming in Rock Creek, a Washington waterway so contaminated with sewage runoff that swimming has been banned citywide for over 50 years.
