Republicans just blocked their own "big, beautiful bill" that would kick millions of Americans off their health care...because it doesn't cut Medicaid enough.

@leahgreenberg.bsky.social Portland Oregon May Day Protest.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

NEW: Pete Hegseth’s Signal chats about pending strikes in Yemen included information from a top general’s secure messages to him, three U.S. officials with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

Every day he stays in his job is another day our troops’ lives are endangered by his singular stupidity. He must resign in disgrace.

Let’s be clear. Mrs. Hegseth has ZERO rights, zero DOD clearance to see this data. Subpoena her now and fire Pete Hegseth 😡 #DataBreach

Because one time wasn’t enough: “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

www.cnn.com/2025/04/20/p... 🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 Ruh Roh Hegseth shared detailed military plans in second Signal chat that included his wife and brother

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: If you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.

There are numerous calls to investigate whether Trump and his cronies engaged in insider trading, pump and dumps, etc. But it won't be DOJ. It won't be the SEC. It won't be Congress. You know who CAN investigate this? NY AG Letitia James - who has jurisdiction over Wall St.

Profiteering at the public’s expense. Trump and his partners in crime chuckle and celebrate as millions of Americans suffer shocking financial losses.

What the fuck

Now listen to this in the context of the SCOTUS’ decision. Yes, you can get a lawyer and file a habeas petition IF you can get a lawyee. But when wheels go up on the flight you are gone. And from what we’re seeing in the Garcia case this Admin will fight like hell to keep you gone.

The House Democrats are doing a Daily Download, by a different rep each day. bsky.app/profile/hous... bsky.app/profile/hous...

You mean like the tradition of segregation that Dodgers legend Jackie Robinson finally broke? The history of completely ignoring the records of the Negro Leagues? The fact that large amounts of current players come from South American countries? Yeah, thank god baseball isn’t political.

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

None of us are safe. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

Mark your calendars for April 19th!

Remember that this is where his discussions with El Salvador began. The migrant detentions there are the dry run. He wants to ship U.S. prisoners to El Salvador.We cannot sleepwalk through this.

One hell of a thread if you want picture after picture of Americans saying "fuck no" to Donald Trump's bullshit.

#handsoff at the far edge of Portland’s protest.

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

The stock market is tanking because of Trump’s tariffs. That’s it. It’s just that simple. You didn’t even have to look at the market when Biden was President. Good times. TRUMP and his Republican sock puppets are THE REASON why you’re losing so much money right now!!!!

Reminder: as the Dow is tanking faster than 2008, and four dead servicemen arrive at Dover, Trump is golfing: with the saudis

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are out of touch with the needs of real people. Now the Trump administration is taking food away from Oregonians who are struggling to afford the high cost of groceries, and they are hurting local farmers and producers by canceling contracts.

Bombshell in North Carolina: the state's GOP-dominated Court of Appeals just sided with the GOP candidate in last year's supreme court race. Their decision would toss roughly 60,000 ballots (!) that have been counted, & likely hand the election to GOP instead of incumbent Dem Justice who won it.

Hey Canada - you might take a look. #elbowsup www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/t...

They told me if I voted for Kamala the market would crash, and then we’d probably have a recession. They were right.

🇪🇺 EU regulators are preparing major penalties against Elon Musk’s social media platform X for breaking a landmark law to combat illicit content and disinformation, - NYT ❗️ The penalties are expected to be announced this summer. The fine could surpass $1 billion.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

My kid has a bleeding disorder and we just received an email from the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation that yesterday "nearly all staff within the CDC’s Division of Blood Disorders and Public Health Genomics" will be fired, so fuck you, RFK Jr, and all the senators who approved his nomination.

If I lived in Michigan, I’d vote for her.

BREAKING: I'm placing a hold on President Trump's nominee for U.S. Attorney in DC. For the past few weeks, Ed Martin has been a one-man wrecking ball. Threatening political opponents, firing public servants, and using his office to chill free speech. His nomination must be blocked.

The government’s statement is a flex, not a confession of error. The important elements of the flex are these: 1. We send enemies to brutal foreign labor camps. 2. We decide who enemies are. 3. We may decide you are an enemy based on a secret informant, or our view of your tattoos. /1

Everyone needs to understand what Elon and DOGE are building, an AI driven panopticon that will know everything about you and will be used to ensure compliance with their fascist agenda. They are creating a unified database of everything the federal government has on every single American. 🧵1/

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.

Sending love to trans people today and every day.

Love will always be more resplendent than the darkness of hate can conquer.
