At one point or another, we're all going to need to see a doctor. But our health care system remains unaffordable, inaccessible, and deeply dysfunctional. It is unacceptable. That’s why a strong majority of Americans agree: We need Medicare for All.

Bless @sophiegilbert.bsky.social @theatlantic.com: "The past decade has been a gloomy lesson in how limited a proportion of men actually see women as equal human beings...The fish rots from the head. The pig is in the Oval Office." www.theatlantic.com/culture/2025...

Most Americans want science to govern our public health policy. Not crackpot ideas. This move marks a dire turning point for the CDC that the next Congress and administration must correct ASAP. www.huffpost.com/entry/cdc-up...

Police Chief Brian O’Hara has delivered a blunt message to his department: If an officer witnesses ICE agents using illegal force and fails to step in, they will be fired. 👏 👏 👏

Jack Hopkins is one of my top go-to guys for accurate reporting and rational discourse concerning his former party and its disheartening plummet under the invasive virus that is Trunt and his ilk. Wish he were wrong here, but this is a compelling argument and a must-read for defenders of democracy.

Oddly enough, Donald Barr wrote a 1973 sci-fi novel “Space Relations” about a planet ruled by oligarchs who engage in child sex slavery.

That was part of my morning out the window... Jack, all anyone needs to appreciate about Epstein is that it wasn't about the sexual deviancies of leaders, it was about controlling them. The whole of Epstein is out of the Russian Intelligence playbook. I can trace it all the way back to Yukos Oil.

Redhat ignores homework to preach, then plays Christ on the cross when given an F... "After Samantha Fulnecky, a University of Oklahoma junior, received a failing grade on an essay, she filed a report with her school alleging that she’s being discriminated against because of her religious beliefs."

Finders Keepers

And Number One: Trump, his family, The Current Regime, Repub politicos, & all members of the Gestapo (=ICE USBP) must be made to answer & pay for their crimes Number Two: Do NOT allow Merrick Garland anywhere near the legal proceedings

The CFPB has returned billions to Americans scammed by corporations. But now the Trump administration is canceling lawsuits and taking money out of consumers’ pockets. The government should work for the people, not billionaire CEOs — and I’m demanding answers.

Trump’s donors are profiting from private detention centers holding immigrants who have committed no crimes. @maddow.bsky.social @velshi.com @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social

And man, what good timing. Everyone look over here!

I am taking the next few days off from writing to prepare for a Supreme Court argument. If you want to support Democracy Docket during my pause, here is there link. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years. Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Are we sure he’s still feigning? He genuinely seems pretty fucking ignorant. One can only act dumb for so long before it actually tends to become true. All the more reason for him to be removed.

John Oliver gives a great summary of what a con job Medicare Advantage plans are www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ejoi...

Newsmax asked me about Joe Biden's pen. I told them Ol' Joe used it to sign the inflation Reduction Act. And Donald Trump used his pen to cause inflation. 'Nuff sed.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Baja has a good point. #EndCitizensUnited #CitizensUnitedIsn’tASoccerTeam #CitizensUnitedEqualsCorruption

I don’t get it. If selling a dangerous product that kills people is a justification for military strikes, shouldn’t Trump also be going after American tobacco and alcohol companies? Oh yeah, and gun companies?

Hot damn! This is one of the most useful packs I’ve come across. @pcase2012.bsky.social gets big kudos on this one. An additional tool to hold reps’ feet to the fire, ask questions, and learn more about their policies and processes. Thanks PCfromPA!

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power. It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.

By the way, the real drug traffickers aren’t on the boats. Those are just mules getting paid a few bucks. Trump doesn’t go after the real kingpins, he either leaves them alone or pardons them.

How John Roberts brought back Donald Trump www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I see that some states do. For elderly, handicapped, or homeless.

“I have no idea. It was just an MRI,” Trump said. “It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it. I got a perfect mark, which you would be incapable of doing.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

As an immigrant, hearing the stories about conditions in Trump’s immigration detention centers has been horrifying. Today, I introduced my Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act to end our over-reliance on detention and ensure that immigrants’ civil and human rights are protected.

It’s the #Cats favorite time of the year! 🐈🎄🐈‍⬛🎄 Get ready😂

No masks, no swapped out plates, no badgeless enforcement. ICE and CBP: stop being the Gestapo.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

House Republicans were forced on Wednesday to cancel an upcoming vote on the SCORE Act, a controversial piece of legislation backed by President Donald Trump that would give a sweetheart deal to college sports leagues at the expense of players.

MuskRat is more than welcome to hump his racist, bigoted ass back to S. Africa with his business. Immigrant traitor.
