The GOP pushes America off a fiscal cliff: "For me, the real panic" was when Moody’s said nearly a third of our federal money will go solely to interest payments on the debt by 2035, writes @byheatherlong.bsky.social. Interest amounts to less than 2% in a typical AAA-rated nation. 🎁 wapo.st/4j7PFhb

Another Jewish conspiracy theory...led by Jews? 🙄 😟
In what might be the logical endpoint of American Zionism, the Heritage Foundation has declared that pro-Palestinian activism is not just antisemitic, but is in fact a shadowy global conspiracy … led by Jews. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

New drug plan??What about the reduced drug costs Biden passed and Trump reversed by EO. Remember that $15 insulin grandma had for a few months before Trump took it away? She had to go back to missing doses because it got too expensive again.The lies in this administration are incredible

The “weaponization of the federal government” subcommittee, created by Judiciary chair Jim Jordan in 2023, vanished when Trump took power. Dems should revive it next time they control the House, and call Bondi as first witness. From my latest at @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-unqu...
Trump’s Unquenchable, Unconstitutional Greed Is Deforming America
From Qatari jets to memecoin dinners, a perverse masterclass in profiting from the presidency.

Absolutely agree 💯
Thank you!
Be more like Marc Elias. He exemplifies what it means to be a “fighter.” It’s that attitude of acknowledging the fear, flipping the source of it bird, and then walking toward it, 100% invested in victory. There are only a handful of people in politics right now that inspire me. Marc is #1

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.
Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

Eliminate Habeas Corpus, Due Process, have Cabinet members openly ignore Congress and the Supreme Court and finally...have a president who literally says on national TV that he is not sure he needs to follow the constitution. All in less than 150 days. Will we recognize our country in 2 years??

2020 Census showed US population 18+ was 258.3M. So according to Pam Bondi almost 50% of the ENTIRE adult population has been saved from fentanyl death in the last 100 days. WHAT?!?! They just constantly make sh@@ up and assume people are idiots. @agpambondi.govpeeps.com

The Atlantic interview shows a man reveling in his ability to threaten and bully powerful people. His hubris is truly frightening. He is feeling all powerful...caring less and less for the rule of law or even common humanity. He is showing himself to be an insidious danger to American freedoms.

So State Dept employees are now expected to anonymously report their co-workers if they believe they are displaying anti-Christian bias. 😵💫 I was sure this had to be made up but...I fact ckd and no, it's not. Christian Nationalism anyone? Maybe Gilead?

I know there is so much happening now but we MUST protect our libraries!
ALA is deeply concerned by reports that IMLS is sending notices to libraries claiming to cancel grants that are required by law. This harmful action will disrupt libraries' ability to serve their communities.

That and medicaid...wait till everyday Trump voters figure out what they signed up for.
What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
