Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson is blocking a vote on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies, which means the subsidies will lapse. Millions of Americans will pay much higher fees or will drop their health insurance altogether. Republicans did this while making sure rich people got a tax cut.

Absolutely shameful behavior. From a man and a party that have no shame.

We were married on this day in 1978... soulmates ever since. ❣️ #ForeverGrateful 🙏

A colleague confided in me the other day that his college age son had stopped speaking to him over his support for Donald Trump. And I’m struck by the hypocrisy that this man supports family separation policies is upset when his own family chooses to separate from him.

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported? Noem: We have not deported military veterans. Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

Drug runners are camouflaging their boats so they don’t get blown up.

A simple question

Ramirez to Noem: "You lied on the record and you lied to members of this committee. You violated court orders by not turning around deportation flights bound for El Salvador where we know that hundreds of people under your leadership reported they were raped, beaten, and nearly died."

Who would like some formal sex?

The Republican Kleptocracy is now stealing oil tankers from other nations. We can expect Trump will start a war soon.

I lost a dear friend last week; suffered for years in his gradually-degrading shell. He was a scientist & humanist and loved using a bit of calm bluntness to cut through my sentimentality... so this was a perfect reminder to find in our old emails. by @humanistengineer.bsky.social 😔 Rest now, Guy.

Big shout out to MAGA for helping young Americans see how Christianity is used to manipulate the gullible. #Atheism #Skepticism #MAGA #Politics

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism - there is extensive research showing this. Resurrecting old, discredited, fraudulent work is shameful. Vaccine-preventable illnesses are serious - this is going to cause real harms. This is dangerous & disappointing.

How do you make a waterbed bouncier? Fill it with spring water.

Trump ran on a message that there’s an elite, corrupt, greedy elite who are shafting the average America. He’s right. It’s him.

Today in double standards: if this was any democrat, they would have been impeached yesterday. But keep telling me the democrats are the problem.

In the latest example of rampant Trump corruption: he just pardoned the lawyers involved in his failed attempt to topple democracy after losing the 2020 election. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

Embarrassing that @todayshow.com is running a segment on yet another “discovery” of Noah’s Ark this morning. This happens every couple years. Rich Christians pretend they’re archeologists and “find” the Arc they want to find. #PseudoScience #archeology #media en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Searche...

Let's do one better. Skip the insurance companies AND the people. Send the money straight to doctors. Employ them as government workers. Have them heal all citiznes without charge!!

Mamdani is going to implement Shoria law. All sailors must have shore leave permission prior do disembarking the ship. Drunkenness and soliciting prostitutes shall be grounds for court martial.

Mamdani is going to implement SSHaria law. Communications will be end to end encrypted.

Sleepy Don. Rapey Don. Stealey Don? Killer Don. Dementia Don.

MAGA folks are claiming that Trump can’t fund SNAP even if he wants to because it’s against the law. First, no it’s not. Second, he’s a 34 time convicted felon. He was found liable for sexual assault. He’s been murdering people in the Caribbean. Don’t pretend he cares about the law.

With Trump’s massive tax cuts for the wealthy currently exploding the deficit, and now this, Trump and his oligarch cronies want to make us debt slaves from birth to death while truly owning nothing, while they buy bigger yachts and more mansions.

Republicans have been on vacation for 50 days. For 50 days, Republicans have chosen to stay home instead of working to reopen the government.

Argentina President Javier Milei doing the “Trump dance” at Mar-a-Lago after getting an $40 billion bailout. Meanwhile, Trump won’t renew subsides for American healthcare.

Today is the 102nd anniversary of the Beer Hall Putsch. In 1923, Nazi Germans led by Adolph Hitler stormed the government and claimed it was overturned. They were tried and convicted for their crimes. After serving his time, Hitler rose to power on a platform of grievance politics and populism.

In Canada: – First woman Prime Minister? 1993 – First Muslim mayor? 2010 (Calgary, no less) – First socialist in office? Before disco died New Yorkers, electing Zorhan Mamdani isn't progress, okay? It's catch-up. Y'all slow.
