We are being sold like livestock to the highest bidder. Everything is for sale. Every spineless Repub in Congress is responsible for this. They repeated the lies & stoked the anger of people too busy and desperate for relief while PICKING THEIR POCKETS. There is no GOP, it's the Fuck America party.
Russell Vought, acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has canceled plans to introduce new rules designed to limit the ability of US data brokers to sell Americans’ most sensitive data, credit history, and Social Security numbers.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

Trump is one of the worst negotiators in foreign policy history (as his deal with the Houthis shows). When it comes to Putin, he has already given away the farm, so that Putin’s negotiating floor now is higher than the ceiling would have been with Biden. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Maybe the U.S. Secretary of State should focus his attention on weightier matters—the conflict between India & Pakistan, Russia’s war of aggression, or his boss making illegal threats of conquest against allies—rather than protests on U.S. college campuses.

Looks like there won’t be a vote on the budget from hell until June. Sounds like it’s not going well for MAGA Mike.
Turns out gutting healthcare for sick kids, cancer patients & seniors—just to hand tax cuts to billionaires isn’t playing well in red districts.

He doesn't care if the attention is bad. He doesn't care if the attention is "you're demented and worsening every day."
All he cares about is the attention. It's called malignant narcissism, and the media should know better.

When a school shooting happens, Republicans don’t blame the guns — they blame mental health issues.
But now Donald Trump is cutting $1 billion in mental health funding that aimed to stop gun violence in schools.
Make it make sense. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

I know, norms and all that, but the default Dem position should be:
We think this is illegal but if the courts say you can do this then we are going to rip the guts out of the entire conservative movement. No more Heritage, FedSoc, etc. All of them lose their tax exempt status.
