Medicaid is NOT a handout. It’s how 4.8M Texans survive.

Republicans want to cut $715B from it while handing out tax cuts to billionaires.

That’s not “fixing” the budget, it’s disrespect for the people who need it most — and voting for that is un-American, plain and simple.

"If Trump proceeds in open defiance of the courts he will risk turning the huge asset of a politicized rightwing Supreme Court into a liability. More importantly, Trump may call into immediate question the legitimacy of his own authority." @davidrlurie.bsky.social on our grim future. Hold on tight.
Mitch McConnell custom-packed the courts for Trump; but now Trump and Musk want to defy judges. The price for that defiance could be huge for Trumpers, and the nation, as I discuss in PN.
Trump is assaulting his own legitimacy
Defying the courts could bring a steep cost.

Elon Musk dismantled USAID as it was investigating Starlink for shutting down satellites over Ukraine to help Russia.

Elon Musk shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as it was about to regulate big tech financial operations.

Don’t be surprised. This is EXACTLY how oligarchies work.

"Fossil fuels are losing their grip on EU energy. At the start of the European Green Deal in 2019, few thought the EU’s energy transition could be where it is today; wind and solar are pushing coal to the margins and forcing gas into structural decline"

The EU’s electricity transition continued at pace in 2024, as solar overtook coal for the first time and gas declined for the fifth year in a row.

Doug Emhoff reportedly called out Bruce Fischer, the husband of Senator Deb Fischer (R), for refusing to shake hands with Vice President Harris.

When Fischer tried to shake Emhoff’s hand at the inauguration, Emhoff said, “Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?”
