Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

People around the world are starving now because of Musk’s cuts. They are dying of disease because of Musk’s cuts. They are being born with diseases they will carry with them for the rest of their lives because of Musk’s cuts.

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value.
There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.

Sadly I did not know this for the first 55 years of my life. They do not teach you this. This is absolutely true. And we should honor all of them this Memorial Day and always

I think of my good friend Robbie on Memorial Day, as I do of others who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. He was one of the kindest and thoughtful young men I've ever met. I wanted to share some thoughts about my friend — and what we owe each other as Americans.

I spotted this lovely lady while driving along a mountain meadow last evening. Her mate wasn't so amiable, and flitted off to a distant tree to wait while she posed a little and closely inspected the paparazzi.

You look at the Tories, Reform and the rightwing press after the Brexit reset and you see just how mad they are. Genuinely frothingly insane.
Desperate to insist that their Brexit moronathon is a win. Spitting with rage at their own failure.
This sums them up…

There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.

Nick Clegg has a bloody cheek piping up at all.
It was the austerity he enabled that is most responsible for Brexit & the continued unravelling of our social fabric.
Then he swanned off to piss around at meta. Twat.
