The man with the nuclear codes walked into a wall. 😬

New numbers from ITEP on tax cuts in House tax bill: It’s a $79,000 tax cut for the top 1%. This is just not what America needs.

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

Keep up the Target Boycott, people. It's working.

Once a foreign government can openly give the president a half-billion-dollar plane as a personal gift, there’s no red line left between a democracy and a full-blown kleptocracy. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/corruption...

Whoa! New polling shows that a majority of voters in EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT oppose cuts to Medicaid. Members of Congress should take note. ☎️ Flood the Capitol switchboard to voice your opposition to the bill from hell. 202-224-3121. Defend Medicaid! Defeat Cancer!

This is a must-read: The Trump administration's use of anti-semitism to attack immigrants and higher education mirrors plans by a group of Christian nationalists in the Heritage Foundation (which produced Project 2025). 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

I stood on the House floor today to sound the alarm: HB 113 is a quiet coup. It erases legislative intent, silences agency expertise, and hands power to far-right courts. This is Project 2025 in action, right here in Texas. We must not obey in advance. We must stand in opposition. (2/2) #txlege

This is still part of the Constitution, FYI: "[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust... shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

Indiana’s state government refused to accept federal money to provide kids with free meals during the summer.

VICTORY: Today, a US District Court ordered Justice Allison Riggs' victory to the NC Supreme Court be certified.

Is this bad? I'm no international shipping expert, but this sounds bad.

And there you have it.

Senate Republicans voted to kill an EPA rule limiting the seven most hazardous air pollutants emitted by chemical plants and other industrial facilities. Inhaling even small amounts of these pollutants can cause brain damage and cancer. How is this Making America Healthy Again?

I want to go to bed whenever I feel like it and just sleep until I’m not tired anymore. So yes, to answer your question, I am a fan of science fiction.

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

Leaving this here without comment

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

Jalen Hurts is, by all indications, the real deal. - A purposely all-female representation team, led by a Black woman. - Supports Black women business owners. - Speaks out publicly in support of Black women. - And now, refuses to go to the White House to meet Trump. Plus, you know, Super Bowl MVP.

There are SO MANY IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES.
