I just engaged with a 63-old woman who said she is terrified to open her letter from Aetna. Her current bronze plan costs $568 which she can barely afford. She's worried that the new increase will turn her life upside down. Democrats need to publicize the personal harm to millions of Americans.

"'Someone who says I’m against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life ... Someone who says I’m against abortion but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don’t know if that’s pro-life.'" www.ncregister.com/cna/pope-leo...

THIS is political violence. Why haven’t all of the national political leaders decried it? @governor.ny.gov has said nothing.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Absolutely bonkers that trying to stop white supremacists from doing mass shootings is now a delicate subject!

Most of us here already know that we now have an authoritarian government but when will the rest of us wake up?

The Trump Administration Is Planning to Use AI to Deny Medicare Authorizations truthout.org/articles/the...

This simpleminded clown has obviously been told that the "Golden Dome System," he already announced, can't happen without Canada's cooperation, a country that he has given thousands of reasons to loathe him. Donald is smart that way.

To put a finer point on it. Trump’s contention isn’t just that he can deport people without them appearing before a judge, but that he can render them into a life sentence in a foreign dungeon with no process whatsoever.

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

Republicans are more eager than ever to embrace the Big Lie and have become even bolder in their willingness to engage in mass disenfranchisement to secure and hold power. If federal courts endorse the GOP’s scheme here, it will open the floodgates to similar efforts in the future.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

also worth noting that the moron who did this has the nuclear codes

"The left column show the tariffs others are supposedly charging on US products — and it’s completely crazy. Focus on the European Union. The EU, like the United States, has generally low tariffs; the average tariff it charges on US goods is less than 3 percent."

@karaswisher.bsky.social: "Every accusation is a confession with these people... Elon is exactly what they claim to have hated with George Soros. But he's explicit and right in front of you buying elections."

1/7. In case you haven’t been following, here is a short summary of the misnamed Russian-American "peace process" regarding Ukraine.

7/7. This has not been a peace process. It has not even been appeasement. It has been the US throwing its power on Russia’s side in a war of aggression.

Utterly predictably, Putin rejects the unconditional ceasefire offered by Ukraine, sends Trump off on the errands of making the Russian invasion easier and denying Ukrainian sovereignty, while Trump claims he has accomplished something.

Call your senator NOW, and demand they vote against cloture (and in support of a filibuster) on the CR. www.270towin.com/elected-offi...

My God: they are selling off federal buildings and no longer planning on collecting revenues. Again, none of this is about efficiency. I know the IRS is not popular, but for every dollar invested it generates about $7 in returns. The goal is not to save money but to stop collecting it.

Dude says we have to take care of our law enforcement FUCK YOU!!! YOU ASSHOLE YOU PARDONED OUR ATTACKERS

“No Other Land” won the Oscar for best documentary. The movie, directed by two Israelis and two Palestinians, chronicles the Israeli military’s efforts to demolish Palestinian homes in an area of the southern West Bank known as Masafer Yatta.

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Scoop --> Trump-Musk cuts just resulted in the firing of numerous top researchers at NIH's center for combating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They predict big setbacks to fighting dementias. This cause was once championed by *Republicans.* Details here: newrepublic.com/article/1917...

The official White House account posted this.

New on MSNBC: Pete Hegseth is considering firing a slate of military generals and flag officers as early as this week, according to two defense officials and three congressional officials.

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA. The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett is the best. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
