Time to rename the #BBB I heard someone on the @thebulwark.com with @timmiller.bsky.social call it the "the Big Ugly," but if we call it the Big Ugly Rich Person Payday Bill we could also call it the #BURPP. It's gross, awkwardly inappropriate, and nobody really likes it. #BigBeautifulBURPP

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

@60minutes.bsky.social finds no evidence of criminal records in US or any other country for 75% of Venezuelans kidnapped and rendered to El Salvador. Of the rest, 22% had non-violent arrests for things like traffic violations.

Unique to America, our health care system is designed not to make people well, but to make CEOs & wealthy stockholders incredibly rich. The result: We have the highest infant mortality rate of any wealthy country on earth. How cruel, how immoral is that? We need Medicare for All.

FYI - DOGE is using private information to go directly into the accounts of social security beneficiaries to take funds. They marked an 82-year old man as deceased and took his payments. He is not dead. Check on your grandparents. Check the Seattle Times for the info.

I'm leading the charge demanding USDA reverse its cancellation of $1 billion in food purchases for local schools, food banks, & child care centers.
As people struggle with rising grocery prices, these purchases help them keep food on the table – & support the California farmers who feed our nation.
