Can you imagine how many people approved it before publishing? Shameful.

Kamala & Dems needed to learn a lesson🎶 So glad she lost, life is so much better, people in Gaza are so glad Trump won, USAID is no longer saving lives...my bashing helped everybody🎶 This is Revolution, when AOC is president she'll press the magic buttons Dems refuse to & we get free healthcare🎶

Imagine being a US pilot in Iran after Pete Hagueseth declared “no quarter” (take no prisoners alive — a war crime).

“They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science…And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees”

2/ I wish we lived in a perfect world without GOP Obstruction. And then I vote to make that world. But in the meantime, I support the people who do all the good they can, until they can do more. Because that is the definition of progress. Bernie's Status Quo is not. It's just Project 2025 in blue.

1/ H.Clinton wanted to pass the best Universal Health Care she realistically could over 30 years ago. Sanders tanked it because it wasn't "perfect." H. Clinton wanted to raise the Fed Min Wage to $12 a decade ago. Bernie trashed it because it wasn't "perfect." That's nearly 100K lost per worker.

“The last night I was a pediatric resident, a child came in with Hib and promptly died by the next day. I didn’t work for 50 years to have everything destroyed by one man.” -Dr. Kathryn Edwards, Vanderbilt University This is what RFK Jr. and the anti-vaxxers have wrought.

Kamala Harris bought cookware while she was in Paris partly for the Paris Peace Forum keynote & THAT was a story for a fucking week. The sitting Vice President who still has no consistently, clearly reported assignments is campaigning for an authoritarian in a foreign election & it’s just a blurb?

That Tiger Woods can just call Trump on the phone in the middle of the afternoon on a Friday and immediately get him on the line

there are so many things i hate about the fascist project, but administration officials making up increasingly absurd lies about the amazing mind of Donald Trump is way up there

Trump just said the quiet part out loud – he’s more focused on fighting foreign wars than he is making the lives of Americans better. He wants another $200 billion for his war in Iran, money that could go to lowering costs, supporting working families, and providing health care for all Americans.

We have professional codes of conduct for a reason. Contractors aren't allowed to build your house of straw. Therapists aren't allowed to use harmful methods. That's not abuse of free speech. It's upholding professionalism. Insane ruling.

Man, Fuck this guy. And his little friends too.

It's not fashionable to say this, but basically Schumer, Jeffries and the Democratic Caucuses forced Trump, Johnson and Thune to tap out. They didn't give an inch and now Republicans are going to have to go through the meat grinder that is a SECOND reconciliation bill.

Boom. Democrats won and made Republicans look incompetent.

the system they ACTUALLY want tho...

Let's keep this in mind.

Many in the media did just this in 2023 when the Roberts Court 1) overturned affirmative action and 2) upheld decades of precedent that the Voting Rights Act—the kind of law that the 15th Amendment explicitly empowers Congress to enact—is constitutional

This. The court may even pair the release of the ruling in favor of birthright citizenship with the one gutting the Voting Rights Act, and the usual suspects will proclaim it’s a sign of moderation

➡️ REPUBLICANS ⬅️ in congress refused to extend the credits, so that they could give tax breaks to billionaires and raise your healthcare costs. Elect Dems to get your healthcare premiums back under control, and so they can have the votes we need to enhance and improve the ACA!

by far the worst tendency on this platform is its tendency to interpret a description of something that happened or is happening as an endorsement of that thing I have been reading Mark on conversion therapy cases for years and he has always been very clear about how awful it is

Once again, this site has a significant problem with people who cannot distinguish between "here is what the law is"/"here is what happened" and "I endorse that law/what happened."

In 1979, at the tender age of 14… I had never, to my knowledge, met a trans person. I had some preconceptions common to that time. My best friend was a 19 year old named Gretchen. A fellow nerd. Gretchen wore short hair. Dressed in masculine clothes. I bet you see where this is going. 🧵

*Conservatives* did all of this.

Four-byline alert: 🚨 “.. A broker for Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defence companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter.” www.ft.com/content/744e...

The real war aim all along was to look big and strong on TV and by god they will change their stated war aims from second to second to allow them to keep declaring victory on that goddamn TV, even as the conflict stretches on and its costs accumulate.

Republicans being Republicans: GOP leaders in Congress are working on a plan to slash healthcare funding even more in order to pay for Trump's war in Iran. Early estimates are that hundreds of thousands of Americans will lose health care while others will see premiums rise even more.

The Times' 6:00am story about Trump's determination "to end the war in Iran through negotiations" is followed 26 minutes later by Trump's threat to blow up and completely obliterate "all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells, and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!)."

"Pentagon insiders describe the atmosphere as chilling. An anonymous Department of Defense source characterized the environment as "terrifying," noting that personnel working under Hegseth fear being punished or fired for failing to embrace his Christian nationalist worldview."

The distinction between “being a literal Nazi” and “having the mindset of a 14 year old 4chan shitposter who thinks Nazis are edgy and cool because they make normie uncomfortable” is irrelevant when we’re talking about someone’s fitness to be elected to the US Senate.

Slogans are not policy.

As long as y’all follow up the protests with action (voting drives).

This is an enemy of the Constitution bragging about its destruction

lol "has chosen his own path on this matter"

Of course the American Electorate is not gonna learn anything from this and still trust the GOP on "National Security" because everything is gender.

You got him that time Kirbs🙌 #GOMS

Love you, Julio 🙅🏾‍♂️

The rise in the price of gasoline we have seen thus far is based on a combination of uncertainty and profiteering. The gas Americans are buying now was refined from $60 oil. Over the next few weeks, gas refined from $100 oil will start showing up at service stations even as oil prices keep climbing.

It is difficult not to notice that these are the people Ezra keeps spending more & more time with, both on his own platforms & in other public venues. He spends an incredible share of his time granting the premise of & legitimizing these people's views. One really cannot help but draw conclusions.

One reason he lies so constantly about “Susan Collins Voted To Send Me To War” despite enlisting and volunteering to go after the war started is his whole “Anti-War Veteran Who Learned War Was Bad” schtick was something his DC consultants thought up first and then found a candidate second

🧵

🇫🇷 Sen. Claude Malhuret: "I compared the Trump presidency to Nero's court. I was wrong. It's a court of miracles. An anti-vax ex heroin addict as Health Sec; a climate skeptic as Econ Sec; an alcoholic TV host as Def Sec; an ex Qatari agent as Attorney Gen; a Putin groupie as Homeland Security Sec."

No new money for ICE and Border Patrol without reform. This isn't complicated & Democrats could not have been clearer. The Senate unanimously approved funding for TSA, our Coast Guard, and disaster relief—the House needs to pass this bill TODAY. It's time to end Trump's chaos.

Men prey on girls & women in many different ways, & they don't need to "pretend" or "dress as women" to gain access to women's spaces to ensure predation. These Republicans know this. They are using the power of the government to weaponize their bigotry against vulnerable people, & it's disgusting.

Not a single prominent Republican will respond to the most basic gutter racism coming from the leader of their party.

I find it baffling people are claiming Chuck Schumer and Senate Dems caved for nothing even though they basically got everything they wanted out of a TSA funding deal with the added bonus of now making Mike Johnson and House Republicans shoot themselves in the dicks

This has really bad and dark ramifications.

Do I trust the lady who stood up for trans kids at a moment when almost no one would, or the guy with the Nazi tat who wore his blackwater hat just to “squick the normies”? Hmmmmm, lemme think

Let me get this straight: Republicans want to blow up the DHS deal (passed unanimously in the Senate) that would fund TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard, etc... so they can pump MORE money into ICE. ICE is funded through the Big Ugly Bill! They're getting paid! A 60-day CR is a non-starter. They know it.

This is really great. I hope it makes its way to at least a few congressmen who can ask the right questions about what we’re doing and how. Accountability is necessary for these errors but hard to achieve.
