Please call your representatives! The Trans people of America are not causing the violence in this country! Punishing a minority to cover up for the Republicans encouraging violence is the opposite of being the Proud & the Brave.

describing struggling people who need help as "playing video games all day"—all while giving $38 billion in gov contracts to elon musk to *literally* play video games all day—is vile on every possible level. failed state behavior
Mike Johnson on Medicaid: "What we've talked about is returning work requirements ... you return the dignity of work to young men who need to be out working instead of playing video games all day. We have a lot of fraud, waste, and abuse in Medicaid."

”Finland can’t solve the US egg crisis”

The US has asked at least Finland, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands for eggs amid the growing bird flu-induced egg shortage in the US. Responses have been rather lukewarm.

The audacity of first imposing tariffs and then asking for help is kinda pathetic

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived.
His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky — who has been fighting Russia and Putin and who should now not trust US and Trump.

Lifting people around the world out of poverty makes America see fewer threats from violent extremism, disease, narcotics & climate change. Foreign Aid isn’t just from the American people. It’s FOR the American people. Stand with USAID and say NO to Musk-Trump!

If you enjoy Rachel Maddow, but don’t have MSNBC, like me, you can catch her daily show on your favorite podcast platform.

She is on daily for Trump’s first 100 days.

Today’s episode is an interview with Gov Walz.

1. Yesterday, Trump's executive order crossed a new line.

No longer are the NYT Op-eds, thin veneers of pseudoscience, and false claims about trans people needed to justify discrimination.

We enter an era where our humanity itself is officially questioned.

The Chilling Line Trump Just Crossed On Transgender People
With the latest trans military executive order, the administration has given up all pretense of "evidence-based care," and has moved to the kind of dehumanization meant to justify atrocity.
