Study: Ohio among hardest hit if Congress, Trump cut Medicaid ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/05/09/s...

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

In 90 years of social security, we have never had a check bounce or be late, but they want you to believe the system is broken.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio just sat down for a one-on-one interview with a man who, as @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social has reported, has claimed that "Jewish influence on the West" has led to "white genocide" and once said "Hitler actually had some decent points." www.nbcnews.com/tech/interne...

The Secretary of State holding a public conversation with Mike Benz — legitimizing a former white power YouTuber as an expert in our government — is Loomer-level insanity. Reality is dead and there is no floor. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

This is everything you need to know right here… Not only is the Trump administration not asking for Kilmar Abrego García’s return—they’re paying El Salvador to keep him locked up at CECOT, one of the most notorious in the country. Bottom line: Trump WANTS to keep him there. CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS‼️

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

$INTU

Plenty of money to send celebrities to space, but no money for healthcare.

Back to America... U.S. immigration officials and the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are seeking to use a sensitive Medicare database as part of their crackdown on undocumented immigrants, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.

The Trump admin ain’t paying for shit. Our tax dollars are, though.

Anyone going after any Democrat right now is an op @kenmartin.bsky.social @davidhogg.bsky.social

Also: Merwil was among the 238 Venezuelans deported to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, according to Documented, a newsroom reporting on immigrant communities in New York City. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-a... #MomSky #MamásConPoder

Judge Luttig is incredible.

“My recent performance review was rife with DEI language.” 🤔

“A1” barely made a ripple in this crazy news cycle. But I laughed anyway. 💕

Not just for this administration, but for the next. If you're a Trump supporter or Republican, do you really want the next Democratic administration to defy court orders whenever they feel like it?

There was standing court order preventing his deportation, and he was arrested and deported anyway. Even if you think that court order was unwise, flawed, or based on politically motivated reasoning, it was a legal court order. It was never challenged. It was merely violated.

This battle over Abrego Garcia is simple. It doesn't matter that he was here illegally. It doesn't matter if he's a gang member or if he's a wife beater (both of which are disputed). It doesn't matter if you think he deserves to be deported or to be in prison. / thread

This kinda slaps

I wrote about the White House X account — which is steeped in the sociopathic posting style of far-right extremists — and seems to get more sinister and cruel with its posts each week of the administration. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

New type of wife guy just dropped

It’s been 30 years since Selena Quintanilla was killed. Fans breathed a sigh of relief on Thursday night when the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles denied the parole of the woman convicted of killing the Tejano music icon.

“we’re revoking your visa because of your viewpoint” would have been obviously unconstitutional at any point up to Jan. 20 but who the hell knows now

And this tells me we’re getting to him. He thought he was untouchable after Twitter. He doesn’t give a shit about taking ppl’s jobs, their money, their healthcare. But he does care about Tesla stock. So let’s take it ALL. There are hundreds of Tesla takedown actions this weekend.

Was speaking with a USAID person yesterday explaining how at any other time countless phone lines wld be buzzing, working groups stood up, go-teams and aid being dispatched to after the Myanmar quake. Now ... nothing.

Thread: Musk's dishonesty is an order of magnitude worse than any fraud he claims, and used to hide real cuts. For example, he claimed that the Interior Department spent $1 billion on an internet survey. There did not happen. Completely made up. So what are they cutting?

Professor criticizes various judicial behavior: Gets accused by right-wing judges and commentators of jeopardizing judicial independence and even provoking death threats against specific federal judges. Speaker of the House proposes dismantling federal courts: Crickets.

“There is no reason why they’re being held,” the judge said. “If this was a criminal case. … I’d throw you out of my chambers.” www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Of course, it’s hardly news that anti-voting politicians are driven more by raw partisanship than by high-minded principles. But it’s worth highlighting every time they demonstrate it. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/gop...

Yes, the cowardice of several prominent law firms is horrifying. But it is very important to know that more law firms have bravely rejected tyranny and their efforts have been effective with courts blocking Trump orders against them. Courage matters so much. edition.cnn.com/2025/03/28/p...

I urge anyone impacted by the Social Security website outage to call the appropriate field office of your House of Representatives member. Don't send an email or fill out a form, call and talk to a staffer.

The entire sign in function of the Social Security website is down. No explanation given, no service outage noted.

Even though the GQP will shut everything Dems bring to the table down, they should bring this up as a proposed law. 💯 They should be writing bills to invoke laws every single time he goes on his authoritarian tirade. Document every single atrocity brought on by this treasonous domestic terrorist.

Whether the trigger event is protests, judicial resistance, something he makes up or embellishes, the prospect of crippling all opposition is too enticing for him to pass up. Democrats need to escalate not just their opposition to what he’s doing, but also sound the alarms on what he’s planning. …

Shout to Rep. Jasmine Felicia Crockett for calling the Texas Governor out. He IS Governor Hot Wheels. Period.

After the Atlantic published the texts this morning, Tulsi Gabbard is confronted today on why she lied in her testimony to the Senate yesterday. She says she misremembered.
