Former Senator Jon Testor says that every hospital in Montana depends on Medicaid & Medicare payments. Nearly every hospital in MT would close. That means that even those with private health insurance WILL HAVE NO PLACE TO GO! This is true in many states with majority rural citizens. Mostly🎈states.

Infrastructure Week from Trump 1.0 is back but now called Trade Deal Week

It is not too late for a negotiated solution to the Russo-Ukrainian War. For instance, Russia could arrest Putin and withdraw all of its forces to 2013 borders.

“Everything he says is insane and dangerous but ya gotta admit he says it a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Fuck off you toadies

"Literacy tests" weren't about determining if an applicant could read at X grade level. They enabled local registrars -- some illiterate themselves -- to turn away any applicant they wanted by pronouncing them ignorant. So ask yourself: Who would a MAGA registrar see as "informed about issues"?

Narrator: he didn’t

Took me a bit to process how big a deal this report actually is--its thus far the only review to look at the entire body of currently available research. It took two years to conduct, stands at 1,000 pages, and completely contradicts the Cass Review and the common arguments for bans on this care.

2/3 Before Flores, children were jailed in horrific conditions—strip-searched, denied medical care, crammed into filthy cells. That history is why Flores exists. Ending it now would drag us back to an era of systemic abuse. Experts warn: children will suffer. youthlaw.org/news/trump-a...

Hey, if the media is interested in a cover-up of a senile president who's not really in control of his White House, there's one going on right now?

Piece on eugenics delayed by necessity to keep working in advance of 1AM vote scheduled by House GOP on bill to kill disabled Americans by cutting Medicaid

the worst one is not on this list: A provision in the proposed spending bill would restrict the authority of federal courts to hold government officials in contempt when they violate court orders. Without the contempt power, judicial orders are meaningless www.justice.gov/archive/tax/...

Anyone who thinks Joe Biden or his health is going to be an issue that moves even a single vote in 2026 or 2028 needs to step away from the Internet for a few minutes and try to access actual reality.

Oh great. I need the plane this summer

Pedro Pascal at Cannes speaks on America's political chaos: "Fear is the way that they win, so keep telling the stories and expressing yourself and fighting. F*ck the people that try to make you scared and fight back. Don't let them win."

A federal jury convicted former Tennessee House speaker Glen Casada and his chief of staff in a scheme to win taxpayer-funded mail business from state lawmakers even after scandals drove the two out of political power. wpln.org/post/jury-co...

This is why they are obsessed with destroying the civil service, the best path for black people to gain access to white collar employment

Raise your hand if you agree with Lawrence O’Donnell. 🖐️ Donald Trump is on a “humiliation tour” of the Middle East, MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell said Tuesday. But the president is “too stupid to know it,” the “Last Word” anchor suggested. tinyurl.com/yttntud7

The political media is obsessively relitigating the issue of Biden being too old and out of touch while the current president babbles incoherently at press conferences and regularly admits he's not the one making decisions on key policy matters.

At some point, Democrats in Congress will have to accept the Trump regime does not accept they’re a legitimate participant in government—and start acting accordingly.

Trump calls the Qatar Royal Family’s luxury jet a “free gift”—but experts warn American taxpayers will be forced to pay over $1 billion to convert Qatar’s “Palace in the Sky” into a secure Air Force One.   This isn’t a deal. It's a disaster. www.defensenews.com/air/2025/05/...

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.

Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi went to a consulate in Istanbul to get a document he needed to get married. Instead, he was murdered and dismembered on the orders of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, now a close pal of Donald Trump.

The House Ag bill released tonight would take away or cut #SNAP food benefits for millions of low-income people struggling to afford groceries—families w/ children, seniors, ppl w/ disabilities, veterans & workers in low-wage jobs.

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

Congestion pricing was designed to finance more than $15 billion in critical transit upgrades in New York City. Those investments will take years. But the parallel changes at street level are already apparent. Here’s what we know so far. nyti.ms/4mbuGg0

When the executive starts talking about suspending habeas corpus and arresting elected opposition legislators, it is time to consider the warning period over and begin making serious plans for how one will respond to authoritarianism in the absence of rule of law.

I’m no longer content to call Andor the best Star Wars I’ve ever seen in any format. It is the finest television show ever made. Period.

“Spending six weeks“ sounds like a field trip. Is this like “an officer-involved shooting“?
