In the Big Bonanza for Billionaires Budget Bill the GOP cut $186 Billion from hardworking families struggling to get by. That took vital SNAP benefits away from 107,000 Ohio children, mothers, seniors, and veterans. I offered an amendment to prevent further SNAP cuts—every Republican voted no.

ICE has STOLEN an Indigenous Tribal ELDER from NM, who was on her way to CHEMO. She stopped for gas, ICE then approached her, she showed all of her proper, legal documentation. They still stole her away. They're denying her of life saving CHEMO. When will it be enough. #ShedShed #ViVaHerAlliance

Hard to overstate how angry Canadians are at Trump over these ridiculous tariffs. The United States has emitted the most carbon pollution in world history. It has caused these climate-driven wildfires. Oh and American air pollution routinely drifts into Canada. What utter bullshit.

House Republicans’ latest partisan budget: -$73B for Trump’s war -$10B for voter suppression -$0 to lower costs This is what they’re focused on instead of helping you.

Papa! Papa! The refs are being mean to me!

The administration that thought the best way to defeat COVID was to hide the deaths has now moved on to Iran

Remember when Trump supporters used to insist he definitely wouldn’t be corrupt because, after all, he was already so rich? Good times, good times.

In a free country, failing to comply with law enforcement does not give the state license to murder you

New at The Watch: More on how and why Democrats should make it possible for victims and their families to sue Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, and other political appointees for violence inflicted by immigration agents.

HOMAN: We want the American people to see what the ICE officer sees when he takes action REPORTER: But then why did the Trump administration roll back what the Biden administration was trying do to get body cams on officers? HOMAN: Look, that's a question above me

🎥 NEW: DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin just admitted it: Real ID doesn't prove citizenship and isn't acceptable voter ID. Marc Elias explains the 15-word slip that exposes the goal of Trump's voter ID push and why only two documents — which many Americans don't have — actually prove citizenship👇

There are people in this administration (e.g., Hegseth) who act like clowns because they’re true believers. Rubio absolutely knows better and is acting like a clown because he’s utterly feckless.

Angus: We have these MAGA politicians basically threatening they’re going to come over the border if we don’t fix the climate catastrophe. We’ve always crossed the border to help each other. We’re mourning the loss of a Canadian firefighter who died in Colorado, helping put out an American fire.

The Spanish king and two other heads of state were there. Only Trump did this ... www.tiktok.com/t/ZTAeAEWEk/

We are destroying our ability to command the sciences, and I suspect we will never recover.

is there a pulitzer for photo captions because if so @theguardian.com just won it

Remember why they are in the US in the first place: the Trump administration lobbying on their behalf to free them from Romania.

My pre-write turned out to be 70% a. CDC's comms have been wildly irresponsible; b. If I couldn't prove lettuce is not from Taylor Farms, I wouldn't eat it; c. Taylor Farms gave MAGA Inc. $1M USD less than a week after FDA postponed food traceability rules. www.patreon.com/mattbc/posts...

I feel like the president selling memberships in a market manipulation scheme is unpresidential

Since some people are snarky about Pedro Pascal, please remember he's quite literally a refugee from fascism in the form of the Pinochet regime his parents fled with him when he was a baby. And his strong words about democracy, trans rights, etc.

Take the Produce Safety Rule illustrates. One of the most "expensive" requirements was that farms had to provide their workers with hand washing stations. Seriously. And industry opposed it vehemently.

The Food Safety Modernization Act, enacted in response to outbreaks like this, has been a failure. Industry demanded it, and then pulled out all the stops to undermine its implementation through regulation.

ICE caught routinely evading Court orders, shipping detainees away and even deporting them before habeas hearings. This was routine and secret. Judge is Not Happy. www.wlrn.org/government-p...

The US is adopting a strategy of attacking water storage and desalination plants designed to render the region uninhabitable. If continued, this strategy will make the Gulf littoral uninhabitable in the coming decades. Yet there is no discussion of these tactics and their repercussion in the US.

Trump loves war crimes. He's blockading Cuba right now to instantiate a revolt, maybe a famine too. He loves blowing up dams and roads and hospitals and bridges and power plants and water treatment facilities, because he really is the ugly brute Americans apparently have always wished to be

"It doesn't make me feel good at all to say, 'I told you so,'" said Garcia-Grewal. "I am just angry. I am livid, because I told the contractors this would happen." www.theborderchronicle.com/breaking-new...

When the US burns to the ground, Canada sends firefighters and water tankers. Every time, no questions asked. When Canada is burning, our MAGA politicians respond this way. Every single thing they do and the way they communicate it is all designed to impress braincooked Nazis on X.

🚨BREAKING: A federal appeals court revived USPS’ ability to move forward with Trump’s anti-mail voting rule. The rule would mandate new federal checks before mail ballots are sent to voters

Susan Collins seems unconcerned about giving power to an official who refuses to acknowledge Trump’s 2020 defeat—more than a decade into the Trump era, the GOP is “still treating mortal threats to the republic as a sideshow,” @jonathanbchait.bsky.social argues.

We passed a good bill in the House to sanction Russia and help Ukraine. The bill offered by the late Senator Graham is not that bill, it is a bill that would give Trump new powers to impose additional tariffs of up to 100% on U.S. trading partners without congressional oversight.

The Secret Service is "protecting" Trump's failson by "protecting" him from being served with a subpoena from BBC. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Dems rushing to pass the Lindsey Graham bill are making a major and regrettable mistake. They should take a minute and read fine print in this thing before they give Trump massive new tariff powers that he will certainly abuse

What a graphic. @cnn.com #$NVDA #$TSLA #$AEO

In April, we reported on the MSG surveillance machine–an operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more. You can now read it for free.

I think a reason to understand how data brokers are being used to skirt legality is that because the US has no data protections, little privacy law re such, and legislators up to their eyeballs in tech money, our adversaries can do the exact same stuff to target each one of us for whatever reason.

1/ What's been going on with seed oils? A few months ago, Steak ‘n Shake officially switched to using butter & beef tallow. They called the move: “RFK’ing the fries,” and many restaurants have followed. But does that really make us healthier? What does the science say? Let’s break it down. 🧵

Whoopsie daisy. 🤣😂🤣😂

Trump's big document release tonight, supposedly meant to prove China stole the 2020 election, includes this classified intel graphic making clear that Russia was the only country trying to meddle in American voting systems.

It’s pretty obvious at this point that Trump did not read the documents he was talking about

Trump's declassified election intelligence pretty clearly shows that China *could have,* but didn't, meddle in the 2020 election to help Biden win. But that Russia *did* meddle to help Trump win.

I have a piece in the NYT today arguing that the law should permit victims of ICE abuse to sue not just individual officers, but supervisors and policymakers like Stephen Miller and Gregory Bovino. A Democratic president and Congress could do this in 2029. And they could make it retroactive.
