Rep. McGovern is right … this GOP Tax Scam bill is trash. House Republicans so embarrassed by their own garbage policies that they’re holding a hearing in the dead of night.
McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

We are barreling toward a full blown constitutional crisis.

Trump's announcement that he's ending thousands of aid contracts FUNDED BY CONGRESS is unconstitutional and illegal - and horrible for our security.

Yikes!!!
Thus far DOGE operatives have have full read access to govt payments system at Treasury (yr tax refunds, bank info, etc); full access to all CMS data (anything tied to your Medicare or Medicaid); and now they are seeking full access to everyone's tax returns. Feeling safer?

If you're advocating for racism, you're a racist.

If you're advocating for eugenics, you're a racist.

If you're advocating for racists to get hired or rehired by the government, you're a racist.

Hope that clears things up.

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change.

Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk:

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now.

I do not understand how or why anyone would buy one now.

Many better options, and the CEO is a white supremacist.

I’m pretty sure that if some CEO got fired from his job & on his way out he told a mob of crazies to show up with zip ties, flag poles and tasers and to bash in the windows & smear poop on the walls, that he wouldn’t get hired back a few years later, but what the hell do I know.

Dems are way too fucking nice and obedient.
He should. They should. But they won’t. The Democratic Party and much of the media has already implicitly—even explicitly—capitulated to fascism by refusing to make the hard choice to do everything within their power to oppose it.

It’s cowardice and normopathy and sanewashing up and down the line.
