The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" cut $1 TRILLION from Medicaid. This doesn't just hurt hospitals. It guts Home & Community-Based Services. Without this funding, thousands of disabled Americans will lose their independence and be forced into institutions.

You'd think this deserves more outrage. 😡

Apt. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Well, the Venezuelan VP that Trump supposedly had an agreement with and said would stay in power is on TV declaring they won't accept imperialism along with her defense minister calling for war against imperialist regimes. 🤷‍♀️

Don't think this is what Obama meant by "the audacity of hope."

Is he talking about Trump?

Demonstrators clash with security forces in Yasuj, Iran, on Day 7 of the uprising.

Because I circled the giraffe and the humpy horse.

If Donald Trump wanted these records reviewed and released quickly, they would be. Lawyers from other government agencies could be deployed to assist with the review. Nonlawyers could handle many of the administrative tasks. Trump could pressure compliant private law firms to contribute resources.

Trump: “We’re going to run Venezuela until a safe transition takes place.” An invasion.

What just happened in Venezuela is Putin’s existential nightmare. Not that Trump would try it in Russia (?) but it very provocative for him to say this in light of the context given Putin’s paranoid worldview

Members of the corrupt regime we overthrew will be corrupt for us

The Golden Age of Hypocrisy!

The world has changed today.

And there it is!

It’s way past time. Please, one rhino tranq dart. Or an aggressive blood clot. Or an inattentive Secret Service agent.

MTG has opinions. [So does Tom Massie -- he seems to have noted that the indictment doesn't mention fentanyl.]

Marjorie Taylor Greene Rips Trump’s Strike on Venezuela: ‘MAGA Thought They Voted to End’ This — ‘Boy Were We Wrong’

This answers a lot of my questions.

Jeffries did nor tell you not to vote or vote first Trump. You told them to earn your vote so this shit we are in YOU fucking earned. Now, you mad at them nor burning thos country down when NONE, 0 of this had to happen. End of story.

Driving down Main St to a coffee shop and found 3-4 people on front of a Confederate site waving Confederate flags. Half a block down 5-6 people were waving Peace flags, BLM flags, Rainbow flags, etc... And a cop sat in his car across the street drinking coffee. Who says civic engagement is dead?

I think it's the stance of the Trump DOJ that one can have semi-automatic weapons in DC but not machine guns in other countries.

I feel bad for my grandkids. They have no heroes, no reason to be proud of the country they live in unless they are sadists. We have to find ways to give young people hope for tomorrow, even when we don't have any ourselves.

Why Venezuela? Why now? Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. The Epstein files and what those files would show of the rightwing cabal of Epstein “buddies” and Trump sexually abusing young children, believing they were immune from accountability. So Trump wags the dog - “squirrel” - and media says “look here”.

DH is dead right—Trump wags that dog hard. Talk now of Cuba! Puerto Rico! Mexico! Hell, all those distractions from Epstein—The sky’s the limit!

Why are people assuming US troops and not Eric Prince employees will enforce US order in Venezuela?

US Attack on Venezuela Is Rank Imperialism, says @sanders.senate.gov | "This brazen violation of international law gives a green light to any nation on earth that may wish to attack another country to seize their resources or change their governments.​"

Important reality checks by @shayan86.bsky.social

This is a good statement -- bc it gets you where you need to be wrt the OTHER constitutional issues (not least bc THIS SCOTUS would not rule against Trump but Gorsuch IS on recent record that Congress can't hand off its war-declaring power to POTUS.

Yes - two men in Peter Thiel's orbit have slipped and fallen to their deaths in recent years.

Amen.

Wishing him vaya con Dios while grinning at Taiwan?

Spineless fear of the ghost of “objectively pro-Saddam” looms over the Democratic responses to this (a phrase for which the vapid totalitarian soul of Andrew Sullivan, apology or no, should burn in Hell forever). /1

If Trump uses Erik Prince's mercenaries in Venezuela then reporters are duty-bound to finally ask how Prince's close associate Paul Behrends came to died in a fall in DC in the run-up to Jan 6. Behrends was a longtime aide to pro-Russia Congressman Dana Rohrabacher and also close to Peter Thiel.

🤨

US troops won’t enter Venezuela if Maduro’s VP “does what we want,” Trump tells the New York Post.

🤷‍♀️

Behold the babbling idiot who just launched another moronic war.

Thread.

Of course.

👀 keeping in mind this from Wendy Siegelman right now.... bsky.app/profile/wend...

He's been lusting after Venezuela's oil since his first term....

Legal twitter - what would the recourse be if someone's image (or their kid's) was used in this way? @halfmarshall.bsky.social @davidhemond.bsky.social

NEW: A mass propaganda event is about to engulf the US news cycle and what, if anything, survives it will be a lesson for our times. But it’s what the rest of the world does now that’s key. When someone tells you who they are, believe them. broligarchy.substack.com/p/the-threat...

Important read...🧵

Perhaps my mom’s harshest judgment was “he has no sense of consequence.” We also know from psychological studies that malignant narcissists - like Trump or perhaps a historical figure like Napoleon - won’t/can’t stop themselves. They don’t see consequence, but we do. Evoke Mars? What can go wrong?

Most important quote of the day: “God knows what is waiting for Maduro in the US but your news cycle is going to be flooded by this for weeks; held in a chokehold that will block all other sources of heat and light.” open.substack.com/pub/broligar...
