Bill Cassidy is a pusillanimous cretin who betrayed his oath as a doctor by allowing RFK to hijack our public health system.

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

Senator Mullin just said Dr Monarez’s personality is not correct

Fuck RFK Jr. I’m hopeful this testimony will be the last straw for him as head of HHS

Though the FDA narrowed criteria for the shots, many people still want them, to avoid illness and protect vulnerable family members. Some are turned down at the pharmacy or have to jump through hoops.

This is a paragraph Brett Kavanaugh wrote on his little computer and then sent out into the world:

The invasion of body snatchers is here and Thom Tillis is its first victim

Death RFK is going to go after mifepristone at Senator Lankford’s bidding

RFK points out trust Europe has better healthcare than us 🤔

Is RFK Jr having a heart attack?

Find your friends. Hug your kids. Choose your fight.

I made a "Paul Blart, ICE cop" joke when this all began, but I think we're actually there now.

Found the home base of criminals in D.C.

This is so sad

It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.👇 Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.

The one where Donald Trump tells a lechy story about hiring a 17 year old girl with no experience because she was “SO beautiful.” He closes by equating his addiction to beautiful girls with others’ alcoholism. It’s a compulsion! Whattaya gonna do, right?! 🫤

just read a post saying 75% of twitter activity is bots but this is the remaining 25% lol

As I just said on CNN, my father's parents were Nakba survivors. I don't want Israeli children to live in fear and I don't want Palestinian children to starve to death. There is nothing anyone could do to make me put nationalistic talking points above basic human rights.

I finally made it www.foxnews.com/media/bluesk...

Vaguely recall how much of the MAGA world insisted very loudly in Murthy v. Missouri that the WH should never, ever, in any circumstance, try to pressure a media organization over it editorial policies, and how this was a catastrophic attack on the First Amendment.

I'm not sure what's your point, but yes, when the terrible tragedy happened in Uvalde, I tweeted about the associated GoFundMe with my small, nobody account (had few followers back then). I've also tried to support the families in their pursuit of justice. Doesn't matter to me where someone lives.

Who is this dipshit?

Is this it? Just turned to the last page in his binder

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is still going, holding up this vote. He's giving you time. If you live in a red district, call your reps and get on them not to vote for this.

Maybe all the folks finding new ways to moan about Jeffries should spend that energy and the time Jeffries is buying us to call a Republican House member instead

Binder change!

Hell yeah #magicminute @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

The way he’s talking I seriously think he’s planning on Booker-level filibuster

Yep. “Planning to take my sweet time.”

Pubs getting antsy?

Assuming the search function works, I’m the only person on BlueSky who realizes what Jeffries is doing right now.. lol

Is Jeffries about to filibuster?

Steve Scalise just said that “I-ran” got to “sell their oil on the global markets” under Biden but “that party’s over” Just the dumbest amoeba brained racist nonsense.

The Republicans have a talking point they keep repeating in final debate now that this averts “the biggest tax hike in American history”. That “tax hike” comes from their last “tax cut” bill that they had to make temporary to abide by *their own fucking fiscal rules*

Watching c-span final debate, every single Republican clearly doesn’t believe what they are saying. Every single Democrat believes every word they are saying.

"I’m sorry if I’m not adequately sympathetic to Lisa Murkowski’s plight, but she understands the consequences of her actions. She says the vote was difficult– she voted for it! That’s not difficult. You don’t get credit for doing the hard thing when you don’t actually DO the hard thing."

Bill Cassidy has a press release out. The HELP committee also has a one pager. Neither mention healthcare, Medicaid, nor Medicare. Cassidy has an off hand like about HSAs and that’s it. They think we aren’t paying attention.

Just a reminder of who Thom Tillis is: In 2013, as N.C. House Speaker, he passed a massive voter suppression law that was struck down because it targeted Black voters "with almost surgical precision.” In the Senate he voted against the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Right Act.

Most of Congress is asleep. Most of the Supreme Court is corrupt. It's up to us, but we can do this. It was always going to be up to us anyway.

I can only get through a long, taxing week like this sober. There is no other way for me. I am so grateful knowing that, 15 years ago today, I found this path. And that so many people have been with me — before and since — to help me find that path and stay on it. Here’s to today.

ah, the voice of the common man

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

🤷🏼‍♀️

Every one told me ChatGPT was worthless

i am BEGGING you before you pop off about paywalls to go to your local library's website and scroll through their digital resources. mine gives me access to NYT, WSJ, WaPo and if its linked with PressReader or a similar app, all the news magazines, sports, fashion, hobby etc. FOR FREE.

If people really find this to be such an easy conclusion, then Congressional authority should be easy to get. So why don’t they insist on a vote? They know this isn’t “progressive” resistance. They want to marginalize it as such because on top of this war being ILLEGAL, it’s also deeply unpopular.

Fox News brings on Rebekah Koffler to talk about the military parade, but she seems to be heavily intoxicated so they cut away with quickness
