Cruelty is the point! "A rule change pushed by White House officials would slash benefits or end support for as many as 400,000 Supplemental Security Income recipients with Down syndrome, dementia & other disabilities whose parents or relatives receive SNAP..." www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Warnock on SCOTUS: No one elected this Court—to decide what kind of remedies we need in this moment. It’s really not up to the Supreme Court to say, “Well, we have reached the threshold where this issue around race and inclusion is no longer necessary.” That is not the job of the Court.

Since 2009, inflation has risen by 56% (more than half) while the minimum wage has stayed exactly the same ($7.25). It’s time to #RaiseTheWage for working Oklahomans. That’s why I’m voting YES on SQ 832 this June 16. I hope you’ll join me.

Some would say he is too smart for his own good. I'd say that is a compliment gone too far. Closing the strait will exacerbate global pain, increase instability among nations, and damage our nation which has heretofore prided itself on being governed by "We the People". www.cnn.com/2026/04/29/p...

60 years later and the racist authoritarians are undoing it as fast as they can.

"The result, at least so far, has cost many lives and billions of dollars, damaged the world economy, strained already fragile alliances, and cratered the president’s standing with the public. But those around him cast his new focus as a liberation." www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Republicans miscalculated their hand — badly. Leader Hakeem Jeffries just now: “We are not going to let the extremists successfully rig the midterm election…Democrats haven’t lost the gerrymandering battle; we’re winning it.”

"The majority opinion ... allow lawmakers to ... engage in racial discrimination in drawing political districts as long as they say they are doing so for a partisan purpose rather than a racist one—as if the results would not be identical." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸

King Charles made the most memorable of speeches yesterday. He spoke with the venerated voice of a "George Washington" to Congress but, actually, to a president who acts more like Charles' 5-times great-grandfather, King George, who, in the end, admired Washington for walking away from power.

Because it is time. If you support Trump…go fuck yourself. There are NOT “two-sides.”

BREAKING: Over 100,000 students are preparing to strike from school on Friday for May Day. Over a dozen schools have cancelled classes because so many students and teachers are expected to miss class. We're demand an economy and government that works for everyday people, not just the 1%.

What a bunch of crap. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

According to Dan Pickering, chief investment officer at Pickering Energy Partners, when summer driving season begins, gas prices will deliver a shock that “hits people in the face.” “It will be painful because I can tell you that the stock market’s ignoring this.” www.rawstory.com/trump-oil-pr...

What a joke they are. How many millions have been wasted on nonsense court cases.

MAGA insists that guns don't kill people, people kill people, but that "liberal rhetoric" does kill. No. Verbal criticisms, #NoKings rhetoric, calling the prez a pedo, and other political speech, doesn't kill people, people kill people. And abundantly available guns are their weapons of choice.

The story here is that Congress rejected Trump’s proposal to slash funding for the National Science Foundation, but Trump is gutting the agency anyway. The by-now classic Russ Vought play of treating Congress as an irrelevancy. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

I guess a bunch of U.S. airlines are boo-hoo'ing about fuel costs and are requesting a government bailout. Well, where's my bailout for all the expensive grocery bills and higher power costs? Pony up.

Donald Trump is a pedophile. Donald Trump is a rapist. Donald Trump is a traitor. Pass it on.

Thou shalt not use tax payer dollars to fund the Epstein ballroom. It should never be built at all. It is an abomination.

Hypocrisy remains an essential part of the brand.

Every parent should make this weekend’s event at the Washington Hilton a teachable moment for their child. When you habitually lie to people they stop believing anything you say. Your credibility is gone forever.

A single golf trip can run into the millions of dollars when factoring in travel, security, and expenses. Independent analyses extrapolated from earlier Government Accountability Office (GAO) data suggest $7 million per round, $75+ million in 2025, $300+ million by 2028. For the Pedophile Dictator

A Texas judge ordered Hayam El Gamal and her five children released Thursday. Two days later, their lawyers say, ICE re-arrested and tried to deport them. n.pr/4eJAxaX

Whatever's up, or whatever's down, with the White House Correspondent's Dinner, one thing is unchanged from a minute before the shooting, to a minute after the shooting: Trump is a clear and present danger to America. #NoKings

If eight children are murdered and nobody notices, they're still dead. ICYMI @citizencohn.bsky.social on the mass shooting that was barely covered:

🧵 Thread on #AIDynamicPricing

Maryland just banned it. The Protection from Predatory Pricing Act makes it the first state to outlaw dynamic pricing in grocery stores. Technology should serve us. We should not serve technology.

The store's AI takes all of that and figures out YOUR price. Not the market price. Not a fair price. YOUR price, based on what you're willing to pay. This is terrifying. This manipulation is pure greed.
