Take all the time you need with this because you’ve got 3½ more years to ponder: If you sat out the 2024 election, you voted against your own interests too— by way of abstention.

Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing. it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary. Grow some balls

"You said there were no cuts to scientists, and then the HHS spox said, 'Actually, there were cuts to scientists and now we're trying to rehire them.' It gives the impression you're not sure about personnel actions in own agency." -- Jon Ossoff just dismantled FDA Commissioner Makary

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that will cut billions of dollars from Medicaid. Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of people across the country, including more than 15 million people with disabilities. The Senate must reject this dangerous bill.

He’s not gonna like this.

artists support each other when systems will not. there's little safety net. it is resilience. artists are not your competitors. artists are your peers, mentors, and the ones who will defend the ability to create sustainably. to those who struggle to continue drawing, you are an artist.

When 49.8% of voters elected a would-be dictator, we knew there would be bad days ahead. This is one of them. He’s determined to destroy Harvard if he can’t control it. And bribery is the main course at tonight’s dinner for his crypto pals. Stay strong, folks. This country is worth fighting for.

“What the heck’s the commissioner of Social Security?" That's a real question from Frank Bisignano...the commissioner of Social Security. Millions of Americans depend on Social Security. They should be able to trust that the head of the agency even knows what the job is.

This is so depressing www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

This nails it.

The irony and hypocrisy is astounding 👇 #ResistTrump

#GVerse #Attention: The #OrangeBuffoon has just blocked Harvard University from admitting and enrolling international students, terminating Harvard’s student visa program. This has to be simply illegal, no sitting President can dictate a Private University on who can enroll at their school!?!?

Very courageous for the Chair of the House Freedom Caucus Andy Harris to vote “present” on the budget. He took a strong and principled stand to do nothing, and refused to waiver from his firm commitment to do nothing.

You're seeing America kamikaze itself into a brick wall. It didn't have to be this way. But greed and racism, our two sins, will be our downfall. Too many people still with their hands in the sand.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: "Reality is that hospitals are gonna close, nursing homes are gonna shut down, people are going to die if these Medicaid cuts and their efforts to detonate parts of the ACA are successfully enacted into law."

That was fast. @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

By @alejandrabee.bsky.social The House and Senate both voted to loosen regulations on air pollutants like dioxin and mercury, which are associated with higher cancer risk.

Massachusetts decided to tax the rich, and collected $2.6 billion over the last 10 months. That’s $2.6 billion more to spend on transportation and education.

We need more of this energy:

McGovern: We live in the richest country on Earth and not a single kid in this country should go to bed hungry, not a single damn one and especially when Republicans are giving millionaires and billionaires a big fat tax break.

Wannabe dictator acting like a dictator.

Republicans have made US politics into a tacky, tawdry, degrading spectacle, like a cutrate reality tv show. Obviously the aesthetics are not as important as the substance, but still, it's embarrassing to be American these days.

That lamp isn’t made of what I think it’s made of, is it?

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

The GOP held a hearing on their unfinished thousand-page bill at 1:00 AM. Now they’re getting ready to hold the final vote on the largest destruction of health care in American history in the dead of night.

Boyle: We just verified with the congressional budget office and of 13.7 million Americans who will lose their health care because of their bill, exactly zero are undocumented immigrants

The bill is still a mess but this is a win. Thank you, America. They heard you. House Republicans have dropped the provision that would’ve sold off 500,000 acres of public land in Utah and Nevada.

WTF??? Is THIS what you voted for? #NOKINGS #IMPEACH #ARREST #JAIL #GOPFASCISTS #FIGHTFASCISM #SaveOurDemocracy

Young people are the hope and future of our democracy, but they can’t learn on empty stomachs. I’m voting NO on the GOP Tax Scheme which slashes food assistance and nutrition for 4 million American kids.

🇪🇺⛔️ A group of MEPs is calling for the full suspension of EU funding to Hungary, reports LRT. They argue it's unacceptable to support PM Orbán’s “corrupt, pro-Russian regime” that openly undermines EU values — urging an immediate halt to all payments using all available legal tools.

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

MUST WATCH: They didn’t just burn Tulsa — they burned proof. Black wealth. Black futures. Gone. And now they’re banning books so you never learn it happened. 📚 ERASED tells the truth they’re scared of. Read it before they erase that too: stan.store/gxldsociety/...
