McGovern: Republicans love to advocate for more work requirements for poor people… Let's have a work requirement for Republicans to show up to congress and do your god damn job.

Imagine that. www.wsj.com/health/pharm...

Until a someone personally experiences the danger the current administration is causing, they won't fully understand the damage being done to our country.

Hmmm... weird.

Nice work if you can get it.....

Yesterday, I asked Americans to tell me what a DOUBLING of health care premiums would mean for their families. Here are just a few of their responses:

Naked children torn from their mothers and tossed into vans. U.S. citizens detained for hours in zip ties. Doors kicked in and belongings stolen or destroyed. This is the reality of Trump’s deportation agenda. It was always about cruelty.

The thing about Trump bailing Argentina out to the tune of 20 billion while shutting down the US government to kick Americans off healthcare… Argentina has universal healthcare. 😑

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

PM of Albania having a good laugh with President of Azerbaijan and Macron about Trump repeatedly claiming that he ended the war between their two countries which were not at war with each other.

And they still haven't lowered grocery prices

I’m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...

As a reminder, a Hopkins doctor is to blame for this.

The 1st Amendment lives.

Portland enacts emergency powers of nudity to check federal overreach.

Trump and his minions are eyeing "wholesale destruction” of environmental science, and they may seek to use the government shutdown as the pretext. From our friends at @thebulletin.org:

So Pete is getting paranoid and even more crazy. Kinda sounds like a drug thing to me. His new security measures have, in part, been driven by Hegseth’s wife, a former Fox News producer, whose requests for protection go “far beyond” what’s been granted to other Trump administration officials.

Congrats to team Europe for winning the Ryder Cup. Historic and well deserved. Our fans were disgraceful. An embarrassment to the US team and the game of golf. No class, dignity or grace…just like their cult leader in the White House.

This is what unity looks like.

Most military personnel serve honorably, but those involved in the Wounded Knee massacre did not. Honoring them and restoring Confederate names on bases suggests crimes against humanity are acceptable. These issues matter.

HAWAIʻI VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK - Scientists say the summit is reinflating, and models indicate that episode 34 is likely to start between September 28 and October 1.

Now that you all know that Congress is in recess until Sept 29. Maybe I should remind everyone that Congress is still paid during a #shutdown. But the entry level single Mom working in our Service Centers wont be. These people make less than 35k a year. #dobetter

10,000 veterans, union members and allies signed a petition demanding Secretary Doug Collins restore union rights for VA workers. But he again turned his back on VA workers and won’t hear their concerns. If Secretary Collins wants to put “veterans first,” he must stand with VA workers.

Crockett on Homan: For instance, when you are talking about solicitation, and it has to do with, say, prostitution, it's not a matter of whether or not the prostitution took place. The solicitation is complete. Once you actually engage in the agreement, that is enough for solicitation.
