Much like in reconciliation, they're taking from Medicaid to support anti-immigrant cruelty. The connection between dismantling the safety net and mass deportations runs deep.

y’all don’t need me to tell you this but this is plainly unconstitutional under any remotely rational reading of the constitution

genuinely so funny and depressing that everything from the right is fake and bots. stuff like this reinforces that the rights strategy hinges upon paid lying and misinformation networks

Cuba’s government said that the passengers on a boat that opened fire on its soldiers were armed Cubans living in the U.S. who were trying to infiltrate the island and unleash terrorism

History often rhymes with itself.

Trans Kansan's being stripped of their licenses due to having previously - legally - changed their gender marker is absolutely shocking. A person who misses the letter - let's they moved and forgot to have their mail forwarded - could drive to work and be arrested for driving without a license.

Relevant to this soft-glam fascist's comments today, there's a bill in Florida to ban prescribing birth control to minors—or even giving teens information about it—without parental consent. It's called HB 173 The attacks on contraception are, and have been, in motion

Abolish DHS

"In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." Madison

So this will hit a lot of places, but assisted living facilities and nursing homes will be hit particularly hard.

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times (the two emoluments clauses and as the only name impeachable offense besides treason). Exactly for this reason. A US president pocketing funds from foreign govts leads to actions against US interests.

This is actually bonkers.

So not only do we not have a federal privacy law in place to deal with the immense amount of personal information these companies will collect to do age verification, we have also eliminated the one tiny backstop that would at the very least apply to the collection of childrens' data.

The FTC pinky promises not to use COPPA against tech companies that collect the personal information of minors to perform age verification. We have completely and utterly lost the plot folks. www.ftc.gov/news-events/...

historical detail I can't help but bring up: by some accounts, the event that instigated the British soldiers to open fire on Crispus Attacks and the rest of the crowd in the Boston Massacre was a soldier being hit by a snowball

This is crazy behavior, even for a Catholic hospital

Looking into the coverup I did. Will let you know what I find

Kids: Don't give this answer in class when I teach the Impoundment Control Act tomorrow.

I live in Minnesota and I want the federal government to stop trying to kill us. And hurt us. I want them to stop attacking us. It sucks. We’re just trying to live our lives and take care of each other and we don’t deserve all this. I kid around sometimes here but I’m not kidding now.

So the new playbook is just sticking “affordability” into press statements like we’re playing mad libs

you can make walkers and wheelchairs from the bones of politiicans btw

If you were wondering whether MN's most senior GOP lawmaker would betray his own constituents to curry Trump's favor, worry no longer.

Pulling this shit while the president extracts billions for his family and is currently demanding taxpayers give him $10 billion is pretty goddamned rich.

NEW: Several FBI special agents tied to the 2022 search of Trump's Mar A Lago estate have been fired, three sources familiar with the matter tell NBC News. The firings days after FBI Director Kash Patel took heat over his locker room celebration at the Olympics.

it is very honestly and calmly reasonable to put this administration in company with other genocidaires.

love the extremely terrible apples to oranges comparison to McDonalds. Yeah, my town also has more dialysis clinics, urgent care centers, grocery stores, and dentists than McDonalds franchises because it only has one McDonalds and several of each of all of those things. That is NORMAL.

He's communicating badly but he means they're going to stop enrolling DME suppliers, not that they will stop paying for DME. Now that that's out of the way... I just can't imagine why SOUTH FLORIDA would have so much demand for prosthetics, orthotics, home O2, ostomy and continence supplies, ...

Nurul Amin Shah Alam's violent arrest, by police who saw his walking stick as a weapon—and who, like the Border Patrol officers who dumped him, apparently made no attempt to reckon with his disability or his mental state—set off events that ended in his death. www.motherjones.com/mojo-wire/20...

Rubio: “Suffice it to say, it is highly unusual to see shootouts in open sea like that. It’s not something that happens every day." U.S. forces have attacked 42 boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific since September, killing at least 143 people wapo.st/4aOSsto

A white woman who is not a doctor & doesn’t believe in science is currently undergoing Senate confirmation hearings to be the US Surgeon General. Black people, don’t EVER let these people tell you that you are a “diversity hire” or don’t deserve the roles you have so richly prepared for & earned.

it's going to take a little bit of time to poll their messaging and figure out what the best counter messaging is

they're clearly trying to tear down as much of medicaid and medicare as they can

Laughing out loud in public about this

Which, to be clear, means MPD is violating the law

prosecute the fuckers who left him there

Being a Medicaid user in MN is a lot right now, I tell you …

It’s cool how the most openly corrupt mob of scammers and con artists to ever hold power love to go after anyone by claiming to be concerned about “””fraud“””
