Schumer and the Dems are about to teach Trump the lesson that they’ll cave whenever he abuses power to sufficiently hurt people.

@nytopinion.nytimes.com if you were trying to enter the “rage clickbait” media game, you succeeded. This is a shockingly offensive headline and an example of why I felt compelled to cancel my formerly-beloved NYT subscription. Really disappointing.

Devastating for everyone. Holding my fellow cancer community members in my heart especially.
My great-grandfather led a team of doctors that invented chemotherapy. He’s part of the legacy of breakthroughs in medical science that saved so many lives. And now we’re going to throw away years of groundbreaking research because we put a manifestly unqualified person in charge of public health.
"The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today announced the beginning of a coordinated wind-down of its mRNA vaccine development activities...."

I repeat. Let women lead.
What’s really going on in Texas? I give you Rep. Jolanda Jones in two parts speaking from temporary exile while they deny a quorum to state Republicans. She lays out every bit of it out - chapter and verse. These Texas Dems are the real deal. @texasdemocrats.bsky.social

I love to see women in leadership.
Hochul: "I will put saving democracy as my top priority at any cost. Bc it's under siege. Just like those who put on uniforms to fight battles across the ages. For centuries we stood up & fought. Blood has been shed. This is our moment in to stand up for all we hold dear & not let it be destroyed."

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the republican party is a death cult.

“Congress” didn’t pass this murder budget.

Republicans did it.

Republicans did it without a single Democratic vote in the House, without a single Democratic vote in the Senate.

Be precise and give, uh, credit where credit is due

This isn't about protecting children. It's about policing a gender system that puts everyone in a pink box or a blue one, that gives people higher social value if they're pinker or bluer than their box-mates, and that puts the whole pink box below the blue.
🚨By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court UPHOLDS Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors, concluding that it does NOT discriminate on the basis of sex, is not subject to heightened scrutiny, and survives rational basis review. All three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

This shit chills me to the bone.
"Imagine being handed the ultimate weapon to win a future war and throwing that weapon away. That’s a fair description of what Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did last week." @citizencohn.bsky.social on RFK Jr.'s awful new vaccine decisions: www.thebulwark.com/p/rkf-jr-ken...
RFK Jr. May Have Just Ruined Our Best Weapon Against Bird Flu
He just made two bad decisions on vaccines, and he made them in the worst way possible.

This tracks and is so shameful.
just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful
Bessent says that little girls who are sad about having fewer dolls should just have it explained to them that they will have a better life for it

This is the tone every Democrat should be taking in every hearing. Outrage is the only appropriate reaction.
Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Seems like the thing we’re being liberated from is the ability to afford food, clothes, gas, or basically anything else we might want or need. Not the freedom I had in mind.

Thank you @booker.senate.gov ! Keep up the fight. We appreciate you. Hope your colleagues will step up and fight, too.
Sen. Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and announced he’s holding it until he’s no longer physically able as a protest against Trump. It’s probably the best idea any Senate Democrat has had in months. Love it.

Anti-“DEI” is nothing but fear that anyone who isn’t a white man might be better at something than a white man. I will die on this hill.
Can you IMAGINE if Kamala Harris did something like this. Don't EVER say a WORD about DEI. So far we see a bunch of white male clowns making a mistake so egregious as likely to warrant a criminal investigation in a normal world. Imagine a lowly military grunt doing this.

Talk of firing or resigning is one thing. But if they were regular employees, they would face investigation & prosecution. No reason their principals, people who hold security clearances, shouldn’t. Or is the legacy of the “but her emails” guy going to be nat’l security no longer matters?
