Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein files. The GOP is doing everything it can to keep Trump’s Epstein cover-up going.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

Start calling the “Big Beautiful Bill” what it is Billionaire welfare. I’m so sick of the idea it’s fine to give rich businesses & rich people welfare but providing Americans with a safety net is somehow anathema. Stop giving our money to people who don’t need it.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

95 democrats, including @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social voted to "honor" the life of charlie kirk, who called for joe biden to be killed and said black women like justice ketanji brown jackson are unqualified affirmative action hires.

Jeffries endorsed Charlie Kirk but won't endorse Zohran Mamdani.

@repdelbene.bsky.social I am disappointed you voted yes to “Honor the life of Charlie Kirk”. He was a man who sowed division and hate in this country and did not make it a better place. His death, like others who’ve died of gun violence, was a tragedy, but his life does not deserve special acclaim.

Pissed about ABC’s censorship? This article provides ideas for how to fight back in addition to boycotting ABC/Disney/Hulu. File an FCC complaint about the Nexstar merger. #ABC

The Kimmel Cancel Response Blueprint
Jimmy Kimmel Live has been “indefinitely suspended” for saying the Charlie Kirk assassin was "one of them." The FCC threatened ABC's license.

On the courts, I am equally mad at Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, at both the left and liberal wings, of the Democratic Party. Neither of them ever took the judiciary, or court appointments and reform, seriously while GOP & Federalist Society packed the courts with headbangers.

The ICE budget is now set to be approximately what the NIH budget was. We’re shifting money from solving real problems to solving fictitious problems.

Republicans in Congress have structured the most painful benefit cuts in their budget bill to kick in AFTER the 2026 midterms. 

But the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy? Those begin immediately.

Remember this.

Where’s the powerful big pharma & medical lobby that stymied Democrats from reforming health care my whole life now when we need them? Surely messing with vaccines and limiting mRNA research can’t be in their best interests.

@kenmartin.bsky.social It is increasingly hard for me to want to support Democrats. As a third generation Dem this is hard to say. Congressmen should not serve until their dying gasp. There’s no clear succession plan, just a tenacious grip on power. We need young tech savvy options with vigor.

In 1722, Reverend Edmund Massey preached against vaccination, saying "Life itself may not always be a blessing".

In 2025, Senator Joni Ernst justified cuts to Medicaid, saying "We all are going to die".

The opposite of public health has always been public death.

What if he decided to be like some European countries and rollback chickenpox vaccine? Your PTO days will be spent at home caring for a miserable kid. What if he decides that Black people don't need certain vaccines or need a greatly reduced schedule?

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.

So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.

Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.
RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.
