"You are either going to lose your health care, or you are going to pay a whole lot more for it." – Senator Chris Murphy on Trump's budget bill Watch more Pod Save America on YouTube.

We’re all a little confused, disheartened, and yet… focused. So I recorded a message for all of us: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/a-message-...

An Earth Day message from the late Pope Francis: “‘God always forgives; we humans sometimes forgive, and sometimes not; the earth never forgives.’ The earth does not forgive: if we have despoiled the earth, its response will be very ugly.”

Rep. Goldman: What Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trying to do is very sneaky. They are not going to say they're cutting Social Security benefits. Instead, they're making it impossible for the Social Security Administration to process the benefits. #HandsOff @repdangoldman.bsky.social

Attorney General Bondi should immediately appoint a special counsel to investigate Pete Hegseth’s multiple security breaches.

Boy, talk about grasping at straws: ‘newness’ and ‘Democrats on the board’ are his evidence of “waste, fraud and abuse”? Pathetic. No wonder judges found “no evidence.” (BTW, what’s “new” is an association of longstanding, respected entities who joined together to better implement the program.)

The responsibility for this insurance crisis and these skyrocketing costs lies squarely at the feet of elected officials who deny climate change and blockade climate action (while heavily funded by fossil fuel interests, of course).

Mountains of shame on Shari Redstone and everyone else involved here trying to settle such a ridiculous and baseless legal action. They’re so poor, all they have is money and they will eventually pay the price for their grotesque behavior.

Resistance is NOT futile

Sullivan: This has been an unadulterated disaster. And it’s because it’s not just about the policy—it’s that President Trump and his team have gone at the core American advantages in the world and systematically tried to dismantle them.

The simultaneous crash of the stock market and the bond market is super ominous. But also a totally foreseeable consequence of this insane tariff policy. So is it incompetence or part of a plan to crash the economy? An increasingly important question.

In theory this nightmare could end today:

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.
