The hilarity continues, let's laugh the bastards out of power.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Republicans have had 15 years to come up with an Obamacare replacement plan. They still haven’t

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

My thoughts when hearing Hegseth live was that there are so many POC and women that serve. Including high ranking Generals and Admirals. How humiliating to sit through that and hear that you aren’t worthy or that you skipped the line because of your skin color. 1/3

Swalwell: There’s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you’re going to be in this room answering questions

Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years. Speaks for itself.

New @urbaninstitute.bsky.social analysis finding 4.8M more uninsured in 2026 if the enhanced ACA premium tax credits are allowed to expire at the end of this year, with the coverage losses concentrated among those with low and moderate incomes: www.urban.org/research/pub...

Big sigh. Watch this. Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting? No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

First Bernie Sanders. Then the CDC directors. Now, more than 1,000 current and former HHS staffers are demanding he step down.

@wyden.senate.gov: The US is in the midst of a healthcare calamity. The largest cuts to American healthcare in the history of our nation.... Families are confused. They're scared about who to trust about their healthcare. Robert Kennedy and Donald Trump have done so much to feed that mistrust

Ossoff on RFK Jr: "Absolutely he should resign. And he never should've been confirmed to begin with... in any normal Senate, he never would've gotten so much as a hearing. This is someone who throughout his public life has embraced just about every piece of quackery & pseudoscience he's come across"

Daskalakis: There is a program called Vaccines for Children. It is the safety-net program that gets vaccines to kids. Over 50% of kids in the U.S. get their vaccines through this. If the ACIP says this vaccine should not be given to six-month-olds through 12-year-olds, the VFC won’t buy it

NEW analysis on the GOP megabill's core policy choice: each millionaire's tax cut is paid for by taking away health insurance from 4 people while reducing health care benefits from many others.

And expected.

Bernie Sanders: Kennedy Must Resign www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me. Dem govs must step up and fill the void. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...

"Their desire to please a political base will result in death and disability of vulnerable children and adults. Their base should be the people they serve, not a political voting bloc." From CDC immunization & respiratory diseases director resignation letter. Tragic. www.facebook.com/jill.lawrenc...

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely: 1. Purge govt of non loyalists 2. Weaponize law against opponents 3. Use military to police opposition strongholds 4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel 5. Change election rules in his favor.

Here is an image of the crowd of people that chased a dozen ICE agents out of Columbia Heights yesterday. I don’t see one “elderly white hippie” there. I do see a wide variety of ages, genders, and races; DC residents united in disgust at what Miller is cheering on.

I just had to take a photo of this picnic table which as an incredible inclusive design that's useable for adults, young children, and folks using wheelchairs. We need to look at redesigning our public spaces and amenities so that they include everyone in little ways and big ways.

Moore: We were able to see historic drops in violent crime, and never once did I activate the National Guard to do municipal policing. This is not about performance — this is performative. They are now using the military as pawns in this process to feed into this military fetish

Whoa, the jobs numbers are really bad. With the new July numbers and revisions to May/June, the avg monthly job growth of the last 3 months is 35,000. As Josh says, if we were entering a recession, this is what it would look like.

@citizencohn.bsky.social does an amazing job explaining how harmful a policy choice it was that the Trump Administration ended continuous coverage for babies and toddlers. A truly terrible decision for America's families. Trump Isn’t Done Cutting Your Health Care www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-isnt...

If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare… Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

Big win for California. A judge just blocked DHS from using racial profiling. ✅ They can’t stop people for speaking Spanish, having an accent, or standing outside a Home Depot ✅ They need reasonable suspicion—not skin color or where you work ✅ Detainees get free, private access to lawyers

Gallup has new polling on immigration. Topline findings: -Americans hate Trump's immigration policy (35% approve, 62% disapprove) -Share who say immigration is a "good thing" for the country just hit an all-time high (79%) news.gallup.com/poll/692522/...

Imagine having all that power…and choosing to make millions of people’s lives worse. Make no mistake: poverty is a policy decision. Our children, families, and future generations deserve better. This will not be the end of our story.

We visited over two dozen House GOP offices today, here's an exchange that illustrates our impact: GOP Staffer: We were wondering if you were coming LL: Oh, you heard we were here? GOP Staffer: _Everyone_ knows you are here.

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

My immediate thoughts on the most monstrous, immoral piece of legislation I’ve ever voted on in the Senate. But I’m not done fighting. I know you aren’t either.

Mayor Karen Bass standing on business🔥 His name is Senator ALEX Padilla.

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

🗣️President Trump’s proposed FY26 budget would roll back WIC's fruit and vegetable benefits to pre-2021 levels, before USDA’s science-based increase. Breastfeeding moms would drop from $54 → $13 Young kids: $27 → $10 These cuts jeopardize early nutrition. Read the full NWA statement:

The effects of Covid in pregnancy are devastating and preventable by vaccination; now we have strong data from Penn Medicine that vaccines protect children and adolescents from long Covid

Thread: Latest House GOP reconciliation bill language again makes the draconian #Medicaid cuts harsher. For example, mandatory work requirements now will take effect 12/31/26 instead of 1/1/29 and states have option to implement them earlier (1/x)

If House Republican Medicaid and ACA cuts pass, and enhanced ACA premium tax credits aren't extended, the state with the biggest increase in the number of people uninsured: Florida. www.kff.org/affordable-c...

I don't want this to get lost: after RFK Jr. finished with his tantrum, he ADMITTED he is blocking BILLIONS in federal child care funding. That needs to change IMMEDIATELY.

New from CBO: the Republican budget reconciliation plan would hurt the poorest Americans while helping the richest Americans

New blog from @joanalker1.bsky.social & me on the latest developments with the draconian #Medicaid cuts in the House GOP reconciliation bill including new CBO estimates and Rules Committee changes making the cuts even harsher: ccf.georgetown.edu/2025/05/20/m...

Our best chance to stop this thing is in the House. Rs are trying to pass it though Budget tonight, through Rules Wednesday, and then through the full chamber on Friday. It would kick millions off Medicaid and take food assistance away from households with kids as young as 7. Please help stop it.
