Big news out of Indiana today as Republican legislators surprise everyone by saying no to Donald Trump.

The Trump-Vance Administration getting rid of biodefense personnel is, to state the blindingly obvious, a very bad choice.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

A different way of practicing politics is possible - where we vigorously fight for what’s right while inviting people into our coalition, rather than pushing them away.

Krasnov & his ilk are so monumentally stupid.

K: It looks like it’s about $3.1 billion

Powell *shakes head*: I’m not aware of that

K: It just came out

P: You added in a third building

K: It’s a building that’s being built

P: It was built five years ago.

MY LOVE 4 JEROME POWELL IS SO GREAT.

Another thing Trump is actively making more expensive: our health insurance premiums.
Cost of Obamacare expected to soar as subsidies expire and insurers hike premiums
People who get their health insurance through the Affordable Care Act could see increases of more than 75% each month, one expert said.

I just got an email from social security telling me that 90% of seniors won’t have to pay tax on SS anymore. It’s propaganda. It says “most” people will get some deductions … blah blah blah
At the bottom it said “this email was produced and disseminated at taxpayer expense “

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social wants us to remember that: "This is still a democracy—there's no king in this country, which means we, The People, will have the last word."

We will ensure that they feel the pain of what they've done to the American people.

Please, pass it on.

You just know that every woman at this man's law firm gasped and then started laughing maniacally at this because he instinctively tried to diminish an appellate judge by speaking to her the way he does to them day in and day out

Social Security is the greatest promise that Americans have made to one another.

A promise that you can live a dignified life after you retire, become disabled, or lose a family breadwinner.

“So they take the biggest cuts to Medicaid in American history,” @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social said. "They take massive cuts to Obamacare. And then, add on top of that, the impact of all their policies mean a result of the biggest cuts to Medicare in American history on top of all of it.”

CBO says

Some $500 billion in cuts to Medicare could be triggered by reconciliation package’s impact on federal debt

Trump and GOP’s tax bill would force cuts to Medicare, CBO says
Some $500 billion in cuts to Medicare could be avoided if Congress instructs the White House budget office to disregard the reconciliation package’s debt impact.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

over past years, there were so many "Fact Checks" from media outlets dismissing Democratic claims that Republicans wanted to cut Social Security

Like PBS, 8/20/24 "We rated Harris’ claim that Trump intends to cut Social Security Mostly False"

This was always the GOP plan and now they're doing it
1. EXCLUSIVE

An internal Social Security Administration memo, dated March 13 and obtained by Popular Information, lays out a plan to sabotage the agency.

The memo itself predicts "service disruption," "operational strain," and "budget shortfalls" will result.

Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before.

But the greed of the oligarchs never stops. 

Now, in order to get huge tax breaks, they want to cut back on Social Security, Medicaid and veterans programs.

Together we can stop them. We must stop them.
