With cuts to FEMA, the Trump administration’s denial of climate change this could be a disastrous storm season affecting mostly red states. Many people could die from Trump’s incompetence & insistence to decrease clean energy programs, this is what MAGA voted for. Will they ever wake up.

Please, tell me more about “weaponization of government”: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

Something overlooked is how the voucher scam, erasure of the Dept. Of Education, will affect the children in foster care. Already displaced, and rely on SNAP and MDCD. Children who, through no fault of their own, will be thrown to the wolves. They need mental health care, resources. I can’t…

REPORTER: On the president's dinner tonight, will the White House commit to making a list of the attendees public so people can see who's paying for that kind of access to the president? LEAVITT: The president is attending it in his personal time

🧵 The Atlantic hurricane season begins Jun 1. But that fact didn't dissuade Republicans from abruptly rescinding FEMA's 4-yr strategic objectives. Wired pulled FEMA language from the Wayback Machine, noting the 2022-2026 plan called for "equity" in emergency response. www.wired.com/story/fema-c...

Trump has halted Harvard’s ability to enroll international students. Evil Trump seeks revenge when Harvard or anyone will not agree to his unacceptable agenda. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

OMGLOL 🤣

1/3 I wrote about this 5 days ago. This is their plan. All you have to do to see where they’re going and see what they’re doing in GOP states. They use ALEC to testing out and then they deploy nationwide. Gift article in 3rd tweet. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

This is my friend, @sdschwab.bsky.social, running for Texas #HD44. His Substack makes some great points about MAGA manipulation messaging vs Democratic messaging, especially in rural America. Please give it a read. 👇🏽

Republicans are so desperate for Trump’s approval that they’re plastering his name on everything. Even your kid's piggy bank. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

The Republican budget guts the authority of federal judges to enforce contempt findings against government officials, including those in the Trump administration. Republicans are aiding and abetting Trump’s illegal actions by destroying checks and balances.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

Trump showed a video to President Ramaphosa of South Africa claiming thousands of crosses were burial sites of white farmers. "Contrary to Mr. Trump’s statements, the crosses are not gravesites for farmers and were not permanently placed along the road." They were for a funeral procession in 2020

Trump administration halts Harvard's ability to enroll international students, a major escalation in the administration’s efforts to pressure the university to fall in line with the president’s agenda. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

My hearts breaks for Yaron Lischinsky & Sarah Milgrim. If we looked at each other & saw humans, not flags, not faiths, not borders just beating hearts & shared experience, how different would this world be? Less war, less hate. More mercy. More grace. Maybe even peace.

Yee Haw! We Dead Y'all!

Laguna Beach, California. A racist man harassing Asian people. In the open. Just for existing. It’s incidents like this that makes America not a great country.

Three days ago (!) NYT reported that the Education Department wanted to reopen negotiations with Harvard www.nytimes.com/2025/05/17/u...

The big bill the House passed today *does* include the 10-year ban on state AI regulation, I've confirmed. And it can pass the Senate without Democrats' help. But there is one group that could still stop it: Senate Republicans. My newsletter today: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

"You said there were no cuts to scientists, and then the HHS spox said, 'Actually, there were cuts to scientists and now we're trying to rehire them.' It gives the impression you're not sure about personnel actions in own agency." -- Jon Ossoff just dismantled FDA Commissioner Makary

The stupid. It burns.

Reuters: FEMA announced the departure of 16 senior executives on Wednesday, a significant shakeup of its leadership ranks less than two weeks before the start of what is expected to be a busy hurricane season. Operation Enduring Clusterfuck continues. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Cannot be said loudly or often enough: the bill House Rs are considering passing tomorrow would rip health insurance and food assistance from millions, leaving the poorest households worse off - to partially pay for tax cuts that most help the richest - while increasing the deficit by trillions.

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

MUST WATCH: While Americans bury their children from mass shootings, House Republicans just tried to SNEAK in a provision to end the 100-year registration rule for GUN SILENCERS. Rep. Joe Neguse caught them red-handed. They wanted this quiet. We won’t be.

"Here it is 3:45am and we're just finding all sorts of deeply troubling provisions being rushed through in the middle of the night. A provision that blocks states from regulating artificial intelligence for the next 10 years."

Like, I know it's going to get watered down by all of the news agencies into something that sounds more silly and less egregious. But it's important be very clear about exactly what just happened at the White House today.

The Emperor Has No Clothes. Again. #ABlueView @moderation.bsky.app suppressed this post because of "nudity". I appealed as it has non-sexual*, political content & they removed the shadow ban. Here it is again: bsky.app/profile/abl...#ABlueView * A nude Trump would induce nausea not desire!

Yes, the GOP budget guts Medicaid, SNAP and gives more tax breaks to the mega-rich — but it also: - Lets Big Oil buy public land to drill - 10 year ban on state AI regulations - Tax break on gun silencers - Restricts funding to nonprofits - Defunds women's health organizations

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did. 🚨🚨🚨

The GOP tax plan is a cruel joke. They're cutting $600 billion from programs that support millions of Americans, including Medicaid and food assistance, just to give billionaires another tax break. Who's getting screwed? Working families. #StopTheBillionaireBailout

Who voted for this?

“Trump’s family has deals to build luxury resorts and hotels in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. And their crypto firm will be used by the UAE to make a $2B deal— netting the Trumps hundreds of millions of dollars. His ‘diplomatic trips’ are blatant self-enrichment opportunities.” @rbreich.bsky.social

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨‼️ indeed.

Pentagon announces that it has formally accepted the "palace in the sky" jet from Qatar. Plain and simple violation of the Emoluments Clause without congressional approval. Don't think this is over.

WATCH Jasmine Crockett call out all the lies of the billionaire bailout bill! #StopTheBillionaireBailout

“Look, here's burial sites all over the place. These are all white farmers that are being buried,” Donald Trump said during today’s White House meeting with South Africa’s president. The image he was holding up, however, is of the Democratic Republic of Congo. www.barrons.com/news/trump-d...

Rep McGovern on🔥🔥🔥 "This is not a governing philosophy. it is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash like this." It’s a disgrace! GOP keeps switching the # of people affected but this morning it was 14 million cut from Medicaid+ SNAP cuts, $500B from Medicare. NO #StopTheBillionaireBailout

#StopTheBillionairesBailout Seriously come on Don't ever talk about Joe Biden

The 2024 Data Don't Lie: The only issue voters can clearly associate with the modern D Party is support for gay rights. That's it. Voters are 50/50 on which party is on SS and Medicare. Yes, really. That's why we need to leave pound them on the economy and critical programs like Medicaid.

My suggestion for the headline of this story was "Why Won’t Eric Adams Tell Us Who Picked Up the Tab at the Open Bar for Crypto Ghouls He Held at Gracie Mansion," but this is good too. hellgatenyc.com/eric-adams-c...
