This bill is very bad. Wtf is wrong with the 8 Dems who voted for it?

Michael Chong says his trip to Taiwan is intended to show solidarity with Taiwan and to assert Canadian sovereignty

People in Congress and across the country grieve the passing of Barney Frank, who over three decades of service in Congress was an extraordinary champion for the civil rights and civil liberties of all people. May his memory be a blessing to his family and our entire nation.

You'd think that someone this rich wouldn't feel the need to lie for money. But you would be wrong.

Musk and Trump killed USAID—and they've got blood on their hands www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

That second paragraph... It's Renee Good on a national scale. #Cuba #TrumpUnfit

Remember that time when DOGE was supposed to find "govt fraud and abuse"? Were they really just identifying ways for the administration to carry out fraud and abuse? The US looks like it is on its knees, struggling to breathe, with doctors stood around it, unable (or unwilling) to intervene. 💔

Yesterday, a new generation of civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. As states across the country try to make it harder for citizens to be heard, we need to learn the lessons of those who came before us and refuse to take our democracy for granted.

Trump deserves no credit for dropping this lawsuit. He's doing it to set up a $1.7 billion slush fund for right-wing political violence. If Trump follows through, it will be the most brazen theft of taxpayer dollars by any president in history.

Viruses do not recognize visas, passports, or ideology. Ebola in eastern DRC, mpox in Central Africa, H5N1, novel respiratory viruses, our safety has always depended on detecting threats early and controlling them at the source. That requires solidarity, resources, and trust.

The WHO has warned that these losses weaken outbreak surveillance &emergency response capacity globally. You cannot dismantle pieces of the global public health infrastructure, retreat from international cooperation, and then rely on border restrictions as the primary defense vs.emerging pathogens.

Over the last two years the U.S. has dramatically reduced global health engagement by cutting international health funding, stepping back from multilateral partnerships, halting WHO contributions, and ultimately withdrawing from the organization altogether while leaving substantial unpaid dues.

Travel bans do not stop viruses from spreading. Resources, global solidarity and collaboration do. News that an American missionary has tested positive for Ebola is being airlifted out of the DRC while the US rolls out travel bans is eerily reminiscent of the 2014-2016 outbreaks in W Africa.

Trump’s fuel blockade left Cuba with zero diesel, zero crude, zero fuel oil. 22-hour blackouts. 11,000 children waiting for surgery. The UN calls it “energy starvation.” Call Congress and say so: 1-202-224-3121.

It's not a "settlement", it's plain theft because he's a convict, and career conman! He literally has 43 convictions of financial fraud & deceit attached to his judicial record before idiots put him back in the White House to do even more. ..so here we are, zero guard rails & the gloves are off!

This is NOT who we are….please do not forget this

Donald Trump has spent his entire term trying to gut federal funds for SNAP, public schools and utilities relief. Yet he has no problem using your tax dollars to create a slush fund intended to pay out his political allies and insurrectionists who stormed the Capital. I'm angry. You should be too.

NEW: A gallon of gas is climbing again up to $4.53. It was $2.80 before Trump/GOP's Iran war. Diesel is now $5.65-had been $3.50. This Trump/GOP war tax is being paid by all of us for Trump's war of choice. And What is Trump focused on? His ballroom and his new $1.8 billion TERRORIST slush fund!

Ronald Reagan was the beginning of Americas social contract with the government being re-written, and Donald Trump will be the president in which its finalized by the Ruling party, Billionaires and Corporations. This should be on every front page for days, but the same Billionaires own the media.

"No progress on Iran, no progress on trade, no progress on tariffs, but a stern lecture on Taiwan. Behold, the towering dealmaker of our time..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

NEW: The top lawyer at the Treasury Department just resigned. Even though he clerked for Clarence Thomas, perhaps the $1.7B heist was probably too much. Also note the Times (right) and the WSJ (left) refer to it as a settlement. The judge found IT IS NOT A SETTLEMENT. 1/

“This is an incredible opportunity for audiences to see what really goes on when a woman brings a case like this,” says Ivy Meeropol, director of “Ask E. Jean,” a documentary about E. Jean Carroll, the famous advice columnist who successfully sued Trump for sexual abuse and defamation.

I asked the US embassy in Ottawa what their view is on American contractors or political actors helping secessionist movements in Canada This was the US embassy’s response: “US companies must operate in Canada in accordance with Canadian law. Who they work with in Canada is not our responsibility”

MORNING JOE: Some health policy experts have panned TrumpRx because sometimes the prices available on the website are actually higher than elsewhere DR OZ: Tell the critics to check the website today. We're not trying to sell you anything

One of the reasons a lot of people who write and organize prefer Bluesky is because this audience, while smaller, is exponentially more engaged. People here actually click links and read things and stay informed. You do not see that as much on X, it’s 99% viral bait. It’s now designed that way.

JD Vance tells his crowd to "vote against the crazy leadership in Washington, DC.” Hey Vance, thanks for dismissing your own leadership, but we got this. Without your assistance. But thanks anyway.

Remember when Trump said the COVID epidemic could be solved if they simply stopped testing people? And then, upon reelection, he forced the U.S. to withdraw from the WHO. Sure, I feel safe now. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/w...

I am horrified to hear about the deadly shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego. My heart is with the victims, their loved ones, and the entire Muslim community. I fully condemn Islamophobia in all its forms. Everyone should be able to practice their beliefs without fear.

DISTRACTIONS DON’T WORK. COVERUPS WON’T WORK. NOT EVEN WAR. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

We demand that the survivors of Epstein receive reparations for the crimes committed against them! Do your job!

It's actually pretty funny to think Trump gives a single fuck about any of the J6ers and has any intention of having a single dime of the $1.776 billion fund paid out to anyone but him or his family.

You're not the only American saying that I spoke into a lot say and I think what bozo is trying to do is end up calling martial law just like the Ukrainian president did so there's no elections, they use the criteria you don't have elections in war.
