Pulp just dropped another single? *grabby hands* (When technology reaches the point of us being able to program the AI voice for our internal monologue, I’m definitely going with Jarvis’ voice as my default. It makes my brain all fuzzy in the best way.)

If this “budget” bill passes, I am one of the people who will lose access to life-saving medication and medical care. America is dying and the GOP is fueling the flames at record speed. Cruelty is the point. Death is the point. That’s their goals. If you have not called your reps yet… why not?

Bringing this to Bsky bc @steverattner.bsky.social hasn't posted it yet and it's so critical. The entirety of the cuts to Medicaid and food benefits are to pay for tax cuts for people earning more than half a million a year. Call Congress: 202-224-3121

House Republicans passed their bill that’d rip health insurance from millions and take food assistance away from millions including households with kids as young as 7 in the largest Medicaid and SNAP cuts in history - while giving giant tax cuts to the rich. Thread on the next steps of the process.

The GOP Tax Scheme represents the largest wealth transfer from the poor to the rich in American history.

Speaker Pro Tempore: You are to direct your comments to the chair. Jeffries: You know what's interesting? Every time I come on this floor, I can use sharp language, he can use sharp language, you choose to admonish me. I don't work for you sir. I work for the American people.

Republicans don’t cut deficits. They add to them. They complain about “runaway government spending” and stick it to the poor while slipping millions of $$ to their super-rich donors.

The same people who say Adriana Smith should stay hooked up to machines so a fetus can gestate inside her dead body for 7 months because “it’s a sacrifice a mother would make” can’t fathom a mother crossing the border with her children in hopes of providing a better life for them.

First reporter to say “You’re the fucking President” gets a book deal minimum

The Trump HHS approach to transgender youth is not "greater emphasis on psychtherapy." It is "ONLY psychotherapy," with the explicit goal of making trans youth no longer transgender. It IS conversion therapy. Washington post is an absolute right wing rag at this point.

The gift is bad enough on its own, but can we talk about how insane it is to use a foreign-gifted jet as *Air Force One* Air Force One has a lot of capability that a luxury jet simply doesn’t, and that’s before we even consider the obvious spying/bugging/security concerns.

“.. a gift that is to be available for use by President Donald Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation ..” abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

America 2025. Bribery edition.

And this!!!!!!!

To be clear: the Trump administration is trying to send migrants to Libya specifically *because* of their gross human rights record - not in spite of it. They want people to be afraid to come here, so they’re sending them to the worst places they can find.

Welp, I’ll officially be in that database. Wheeeeee 🙃 #fuckyouRFKJr

RFK: we’re gonna make a list Everyone: the fuck? RFK: ok no list Everyone: whew but wtf were you thinking RFK: here’s how we’re making the list

Illinois governor signed an executive order restricting the unauthorized collection, storage, and sharing of autism-related medical data for Illinois residents. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Dr. Carla Hayden is a trailblazer who spent her tenure working to make the Library of Congress accessible to all Americans. It’s no surprise this callous President fired our nation’s librarian. Another attempt to shut our country out from history, progress, and learning.

Dr. Carla Hayden has served as Librarian of Congress with honor and distinction, bringing our prized institution to new heights.   Trump’s outrageous, politically-motivated move to fire her is despicable. The Library of Congress belongs to the American people — NOT to Trump.

I want to see every MSM reporter challenging every Republican they interview to justify this: "The total cost of her wheelchair was close to $6,000, of which nearly $3,500 was for tariffs alone."

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS TIMELINE? And how do I jump to another one?

The disrespect for Congress and the law is glaring - and for our nation a threat to our public safety.

BREAKING: Rand Paul calls out his own party for tripping over themselves to approve the largest debt ceiling hike in U.S. history. $5 TRILLION. The same clowns who call food stamps “socialism” are out here writing blank checks to defense contractors. Every. Damn. Time.

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

It really is this simple. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

In case you wondered . . . Yes, Donald has *always* been a malicious sociopath and creepy looking.

News: RFK Jr is refusing to come to an autism roundtable hosted by @autisticadvocacy.org, @awnnetwork.org, @aapd-disability.bsky.social, @thearcus.bsky.social, @nacdd.bsky.social, and more. You know, disability organizations that actually hire autistic people. www.aapd.com/autism-round...

This Just In 📢 A coalition of the nation’s leading autism and disability organizations have come together to convene an Autism Roundtable on May 12, 2025. Despite his stated interest in autism, Secretary Kennedy has not responded to our invitation to attend. www.aapd.com/autism-round...

We've been tipped off that there's a protest outside of a Huntington Beach Planned Parenthood building today, with people holding Chad Williams' "Protect our Kids From Porn, Vote No on A&B" signs. It appears that they are protesting the Planned Parenthood. We'll update as we can find more info.

History of anti-trans positions! *crowd hisses*

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

This is one of the greatest moments on television EVER and nobody will convince me otherwise. EVER.

“If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they’re likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment,” the Federal Reserve chair said. This is exactly what Trump doesn’t want the American public to hear.

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

4/ Jan Valeskog, Stockholm's Vice Mayor for City Planning and Sports, calls the letter "completely bizarre". He says that "we absolutely do not intend to do that, it is the opposite of everything we stand for. They should withdraw these strange things."

1/ The US government has ordered the Swedish city of Stockholm to end its diversity, inclusivity and equality (DEI) programmes within 10 days. The city authorities say the demand is "bizarre" and they won't be complying. ⬇️

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower responded: “Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”

Huntington Beach City Council voted 7-0 to have city legal counsel file a complaint against nonprofit Friends of the Library, which has raised millions for HBPL. Meanwhile, councilmembers have violated campaign laws at Calvary Chapel of the Harbour (which needs its own nonprofit status stripped).

It entertains me when someone tries to “both sides are wrong” and it takes them more than one reply to go on their tirade… I’m able to just nope them right out of the discussion after their 1/# reply in the thread, by blocking them and walking away from the tragedy that is their nonsense 🤷‍♀️😏

RFK Jr. went on Fox News and lied through his teeth. He said they weren’t cutting critical research. Terminated grants so far have included studies on cancer, Alzheimer’s, HIV, and tuberculosis. Ohio researchers lost funding for kidney disease and TB projects. This guy doesn’t care about health.

Major props to Natalie Moser for chastising Pat Burns for unconstitutionally cutting off speakers if they are speaking against specific councilmembers and the council for manufacturing crises and asks people to beware of false prophets and wolves in sheep’s clothing, clearly referring to Chad. 🙌🙌🙌
