Between deporting needed home health workers, Trump welching on family caregiver tax credit, waitlists for care, and cuts to medicaid- the future of our elders is at stake. Democrats need more than empathy. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @repgaramendi.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov

FCC intimidation to silence criticism - Disney capitulates.

Hoping law firms will help Kimmel’s employees sue- their first amendment rights have been curtailed and their jobs cut.

Florida embraces MAHA, salutes Trump expanding ICE while cutting FEMA and NOAA. Freedom to put more lives at risk. Woohoo!
DeSantis: “I don’t think any state has come even close to what Florida has done…we want to stay ahead of the curve.”
It’s on track if the curve is defined by the flat earthers.

Remember Trump’s
outrage over a tourist killed by an immigrant who had been released by SF? Where is the outrage over Trump removing the sanctions against Israeli settlers who were violent against Palestinians- one of whom allegedly killed an activist that Trump denied US entry to earlier in 2025?

Violence by Israeli settlers against peaceful Palestinians is too common. We must demand accountability.

The head of ICE wants it to “be like FedEx or Amazon but for human beings.”Our tax $ are going to companies to detain productive workers- hiding them like whack-a-mole in rural Louisiana.
It is the equivalent of purifying society by loading undesirables onto trains in occupied Europe during WW2.

In the Senate, Padilla and Schiff are silent on this.

How is this fiscally conservative???!!!
Rep Clark of MA “For a billionaire, $6 million is not even a rounding error. For a hungry kid, it’s enough to eat every day for 34 lifetimes”
$10 a day keeps a kid on medicaid. &6 a day. Tax cuts?$6 million per billionaire.”

BREAKING: the current version of Donald Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ being advanced by Senate Republicans will now cut $930 BILLION from Medicaid. All to fund tax breaks for billionaires
Heartless and cruel doesn’t even begin to describe this level of greed.
