Lately the Neal Diamond song “America” has been playing in a continuous loop in my head. I can’t help but look down in shame and wonder how much longer will people be “… coming to America.” It’s a sad, sad time for the USA.

I will say it again and again and again: RFK Jr is the most dangerous man in this regime. He will go down in history as destroying America's public health and causing the deaths of millions bc of it.

Republicans have a million ideas regarding health care. Except one.
They will never acknowledge that health care is a human right — to be guaranteed to ALL.

Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA."

good work guys you picked a fight in which Dems can stand up out of their permanent defensive crouch and go “our guy is a fucking astronaut and you’re an alcoholic tv host”
Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

Really sad news for Augusta County, where the local medical group had the courage to say that they’re closing three clinics because of the Big, Ugly Bill. They’re among the first, but they won’t be the last – we’re all going to be footing the bill when this disastrous bill goes into full effect.

This administration won’t stop until it undermines all our independent institutions and centralizes power under its far-right cronies.
From the Fed to the CDC, they’re chasing out nonpartisan career professionals that don’t bow to their crazy ideas.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
