If I could define my disdain for mainstream media in one way it would be this: no one gets smarter or more informed about policy/history/procedures from watching CNN. If you forced someone to watch CNN cover a bill for a month, 99% of viewers wouldn't be able to answer basic questions about the bill
Every single American will pay more across several sectors if Medicare/Medicaid is cut. It won't just be healthcare. It will mean increased taxes, reduced property values and staggering unemployment.

And yet somehow they both will continue to be usurped by the insufferability of Chicago Catholics as a whole. 🤣
A US judge to govt lawyers defending the NIH's grant terminations:
"I understand the administration is against DEI. Respectfully, I just don't know what you mean. This isn't a teasing question. There has to be some working definition.
This is research to advance healthcare for all our citizens."
@kenmartin.bsky.social 🚨 You said we need to “land the right punch.”I am asking you to rally the troops and fight, now. We are losing crucial time.
The EO on policing is even worse than imagined.

We need to take the focus off Trump and start looking at the people around him.
Rubio is more complicit and has been dreaming of what’s happening since 2018. He didn’t sell his soul. He saw an opening and took it.

Scott Walker is the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to WI.
The Wisconsin GOP tonight have already started talking about impeaching and removing Judge Hannah Dugan. Our piece of shit former governor Scott Walker is already asking for a special session of the legislature to take up the matter.

Well if TSA is to believed: Terrorists and gang members. And since she has no ID proving she’s a citizen, when does she find herself on a flight to El Salvador?
When asked if there was dysfunction at the Pentagon, Trump said to “ask the Houthis”
Why? Did Hegseth include them in a Signal chat of classified information too? It would not surprise me at the rate this is going
It seems like Boasberg isn’t convinced he has jurisdiction to rule on the ACLU’s petition.
Currently waiting for the Boasberg hearing to start.
I know you aren't going to want to hear this but the reason the system can deport Mahmoud Khalil and send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador is that for years we've been executing factually innocent people like Marcellus Williams and sending legally innocent people to places like Riker's Island.
The delusion....
I won't say I could have foreseen this. But now that its happening, I'm not actually in full shock over it. It makes sense. He's always had disdain for other countries.
Tariffs on pharmaceuticals does not just mean prescription medication. But it does mean that people who need prescription medication will be in life and death situations. Not all of them will survive.
Rubio has confirmed today that 10 more immigrants were sent to El Salvador last night per the NYT
Timothy Syndrome can cause autism. The mutation on the CAC1NAC gene is the cause for those kids. I know of at least 4 other mutations on other genes....all rare mutations. I'm sure that's not being considered at all
This is absolutely ridiculous
Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.
It is blatantly unconstitutional.
They would be in 2011 with the National Defense Authorization Act.
Everyone is talking about the huge crowds in DC, Boston, NYC ect.
But you know what makes me heart sing….the videos of protests from small towns in really conservative areas.
It’s harder to get people to care in places like that. And to see even 100 people-200 people—500 people is truly magical.
I am in the same boat. I just blocked a long time subscriber on Substack because she told me was this is ok,because Abbott is bad. No. It isn't. Her dismissing people,calling them MAGA is what I am really upset about. If she meant it another way, and didn't think it through I could offer grace.
I think we need to be way more concerned about the “in conjunction with DOGE” part of access to voter registrations. I don’t want DOGE anywhere near voter rolls
I’m more concerned it gives DOGE access to voter registrations.
I liked Jasmine Crockett. I did. I was horrified by the comment she made about Greg Abbott. Even if she did not mean it as a remark on disability, it was a gaffe all the same, and instead of apologizing, she got defensive, and attacked anyone who was offended was a "political rival" It's not ok
Exactly...even if she meant something else by it as she said here. It was a trash thing to say. I'm even more leery of the fact that many people feel the way we do, and she's decided that we are all just MAGA who are "freaking out" for no reason.
They tried to impeach Austin. So this is dead on.
In Tempe waiting for @aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov to take the stage!
