JD Vance says “the minutiae of the Medicaid policy is immaterial” in Trump’s budget bill.

That’s a lot of fancy words to say “millions of Americans will lose their health care, and I don’t care.”

All to pay for a tax cut for billionaires.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

A nice little respite amongst the madness.
It’s painful to see how far the office of president has fallen. There was a time when a man of class and integrity held the position and was happy to crack jokes at his own expense. Happy Obama Appreciation Day.

I wouldn't be out there if I didn't believe that America can come through this moment, if each of us is prepared to play our role in demanding and delivering a better future.

March saw the third-highest number of layoffs in U.S. history, and 80% of them were caused by DOGE

This was before the tariffs

It's just...unbelievable

Will there be some sort of secret signal when it's time to cash out all investments and bury the money in the back yard? Asking for a friend.

Donald Trump is hard at work at his Doral golf club where Republican members of the House are using taxpayer funds to visit.

Thank you, Disney!
💥 NEW: Disney Board urges shareholders to vote against a proposal to “reconsider its participation in the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index.” Disney has a perfect score.

The same right-wing group brought an anti-DEI proposal to Costco Board and lost shareholder vote yesterday, 98-2%

There's something needs to be said
And it's important
You don't need to be gay to stick up for your gay friends
You don't need to be trans to stick up for your trans friends
You don't need to be Jewish or muslim or Hindu or black or white
You only need to be good people
To stick up for your friends
