Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it.
If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why?
Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.

When you watch these heartbreaking videos showing the cruel and thuggish behavior of ICE agents, remember that these people are not being FORCED to commit these acts — they do so willingly. They could quit their jobs at any time. They could say “enough!”

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 489:
You don't need a paper qualification to be a writer. Some courses may give you confidence; or access to other writers; or teach you the nuts and bolts of how to build a novel. But the piece of paper itself doesn't count for anything. Only what you write counts.

Did not wake up expecting to have to hand it to Cory Booker. To those saying he's not doing anything: shut the fuck up. Speaking for 13+ hours straight is not an easy thing to do. It's relieving to know that a congressperson is willing to get personally uncomfortable for something

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

From the Washington Post:
Bill Mefford, executive director of the Festival Center, led a "prayer walk" in the afternoon.
“I think people are rattled,” Mefford said about what he heard from neighbors throughout the day. “I think it’s immoral, especially at an elementary school.”

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

I just read this Variety hit job in which it's clear that Disney is trying to pin the failure of Snow White on Rachel Zegler. I'm confused: Did she make the studio spend $270 million on an unasked-for remake of a 90-year-old piece of IP?

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.
