They really cut $1 Trillion from Medicaid then put $50 billion back and think we’re all too dumb to notice

With Republicans like RFK Jr working assiduously to harm American children, it's great there are volunteer efforts like @gparents4vaccines.bsky.social on the beat, promoting factual information about vaccines to counter GOP narratives.

It's pretty clear why Republicans like RFK Jr oppose the HPV vaccine. www.gavi.org/news/media-r...

This is an important exchange. @emmavigeland.bsky.social is right - the government already redistributes wealth from the bottom to the top. Scott Jennings and the billionaires Republicans fight for hope we don’t understand that, and attack any attempt to reverse it as “socialism”

A small number of people whose extreme wealth exerts a political gravitational force that distorts the entire political system is bad, actually. It has been recognized as a threat to free liberal republican government since the first time it emerged in the Gilded Age.

It’s so dumb! I cant believe we have to have this dumb discussion.... Nobody attacked Putin’s house, which you would know if you bothered to ask your intelligence 🤦‍♀️

Why bring up the Epstein Ballroom with a foreign leader? Is it hard for #DementiaDon to keep on topic?

Sometimes it is not clear whether Trump is working more fur Putin or Xi. What is clear is that he is not working for Americans.

Republicans claim they’re better for the economy, but it hasn't been true for a century. Don't fall for it. They're better for the wealthy and that's it.

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator? This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

“Russia wants Ukraine to succeed.” Donald J Trump, December 28, the year of our Lord 2025. Actual real quote from the dumbest man

Gosh, this paradigm sounds a lot like Trump's and the GOP's. Who would have thought?

Along with the racist fake grievance of "apologizing for being white," there's also the fact that a bunch of white folks seem to believe (and/or are willing to suggest) that even acknowledging systemic advantages they get for being white is the equivalent of being "forced to apologize."

When your top priority is protecting pedophiles and the GOP majority is just a couple of seats, it only takes a couple of Republicans with morals (and that's all there apparently are) to derail votes on anything.

The design of the Epstein Ball Room is a big priority for Republicans

Russia is a terrorist state Stand with Ukraine

Also crazy that the Republican party, which was virulently anti-Russia for decades, has decided that is perfectly fine to take orders - and bribes - from Russia's tin-pot dictator.

Republican pols are clearly fine with this. Are they getting some of the grift too?

You can't name one thing America needs from Russia. There's a long list of things America needs from Canada. So why is Trump kissing Putin's ass and picking fights with Canada? This is why he has bankrupted every business he ever started.

“Putin was very generous” Notice how Trump can’t stop praising Putin, even while Russia is bombing Ukraine. Authoritarians recognize each other.

Are any Republicans other than Rep Don Bacon going to speak out about Trump's subservience to Putin?

Every single time Trump has a meeting with Zelensky, Putin calls Trump the day before and Trump’s position in the Zelensky meeting then mirrors the Russian position. The talking points are the same, with all the same lies. It’s a simple playbook for Putin and it works every time.

It’s not “patriotic” to bail out Argentina while Americans are struggling, to build a ballroom while cutting SNAP benefits, or to pad your own pockets while claiming “affordability” is a hoax.

With only a handful of exceptions, GOP lawmakers are either #Traitors supporting Russia or #Cowards afraid to call out Trump, even on a topic like pedophilia.

1/ In a racist rant supported by a misleading graphic, Flynn proposes sending Obama “back to Africa” and suggests we “prosecute” Somalis on welfare.

Rep. Turner, yet another Republican #Coward, refuses to say that his party is ruled by Russia's Putin. demwinsmedia.substack.com/p/breaking-r...

Sad to see Republican #Corruption destroy one of the world's finest legal organizations. www.huffpost.com/entry/state-...

Trump is #Corrupt, using public "service" for private gain.

Glad that Canadians, unlike US Republicans, are willing to thumb their noses at Putin and stand up for Ukraine.

"are a complete lie" is the case whenever Trump speaks.

Republican #Corruption is off the charts.

Good. Presumably Poland has learned the lessons from France's Maginot Line. Clearly it knows that the US would be an unreliable partner for it.

Of course US government health institutions are no longer trustworthy. We Americans need to recognize this too. Good for Min. Michel for saying this out loud.

Putin will tell Trump what to do on this call and Trump will do it, as always. Republicans must be so proud to be working for Russia.

Trump says affordability is a “con job” and a “fake narrative” — but only 26% of Americans approve of how he’s handling the cost of living. Bottom line: Trump doesn’t care if you can’t afford to feed your family or pay your bills. He’s getting rich, and that’s all that matters.

The GOP's effort to weaken the US continues. At a press conference Rubio made "one thing clear — that the Trump administration is bent on letting most of the world be dominated by China and Russia." www.post-gazette.com/opinion/gues...

Our friends, family members, coworkers, and neighbors have so lost the plot of humanity due to some cocktail of misogyny, political tribalism, self-preservation, or simple cruelty that they are siding with sexual criminals rather than their survivors. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-epstei...

*conservatives. I have nothing against museum workers!

The not gentle reminder of the importance of voting to save democracy.

Conservators called Social Security "socialism" in the 1930s. They oppose anything that helps average Americans.

Conservatives yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people. Maybe you've heard the word a few times already today. But this is nothing more than an old scare tactic. A functioning government requires pooling resources for the common good. Let me explain.

Trump is banning fact-checkers--yes, those people who do the research to learn the truth--from entering the USA. When Trump says he supports free speech, what he means is supports his right to lie. Those who tell the truth are therefore his natural enemies.

I am an opinion columnist who's never reported an investigative story or set foot in the CBS newsroom. Here's why I think 60 Minutes reporters are overreacting to Bari Weiss killing their story. 1/37....

On Christmas Eve 1968, in Lunar orbit, the Apollo 8 crew took this photo: “Earthrise." I'll never forget how inspiring the Apollo missions were to my brother and me as kids. They showed us what our country and humanity can accomplish when we work together toward a common goal.

Is Lutnick's idiotic answer due to deceit or incompetence?
