"You wouldn't come to this committee and say something you couldn't prove. I know. I know you wouldn't do that.

"But you did."

Devastating.

This stands in *sharp* contrast to their approach on immigration, which has all too frequently ended up with the undocumented under the bus.

Trump’s secret police apparatus — replete with ski masks & officers not identifying themselves as actual law enforcement — is destructive for law enforcement’s credibility & democracy overall.

It has to stop. I’m authoring legislation to stop it, but law enforcement also needs to self-police.

Such an excellent video!

Hey folks. I know there's a lot going on right now, but I'd really appreciate it if you read this piece I wrote on the perils of raising an autistic child during the era of RFK Jr. and his campaign of insane conspiracies and cruel scare tactics geared toward people on the spectrum.

While people are struggling to pay their bills, this Republican spending bill will raise the cost of health care and take away the health care that millions of people count on in order to give massive tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations.

Brianna Wu has lied so much that someone could make a feature-length film about it, and did www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1O6...

It's the story you've been waiting for: Here's what I was able to turn up about "Discreet Care," the bizarre website offering abortion "concierge" services—for a $1,200 fee.

There has long been zero fucking excuse for Senate Dems to cede the power they have to slow or stop that body’s work from proceeding and now there is less than zero

This Jimmy Kimmel monologue is blistering--and the last 10 minutes are not to be missed: every president since Eisenhower talking about our strength as a nation of immigrants. Really stunning. @jimmykimmel.com

“Currently, there is no plan for where everyone is sleeping tonight,” the source said, adding that there was an urgent need to find more portable bathrooms and dumpsters for garbage.

I don’t often endorse posts with F*bombs, but if there ever was a time to let it out, this is it.

r/fednews 2 hr. ago Join ruskiytroll DOGE IS SCARED at The Institute of Museum and Library Services, 955 L'Enfant Plaza. They are about to start taking phones from employees. At this point they'll trace me because I stupidly didn't use a burner account, but DOGE is at IMLS right now trying to figure out why their silent takeover and dismantling didn't work out so silently. At some point they're going to take employee's phones. The new acting director, Keith Sonderling was sworn in this morning in the lobby (even though he's already DepSec of Labor). DOGE is in the offices right now. Employees aren't sure of what's going to happen and why there's security with the DOGE team. PRESS NEEDS TO GET THERE NOW. PROTESTERS NEED TO SHOW UP NOW. DO NOT LET THEM TAKE YOUR LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS AWAY.

Can House Republicans Cut $880 Billion Without Slashing Medicaid? It’s Likely Impossible. - KFF Health News A Republican House resolution, which needs the Senate’s buy-in, directed a committee to propose ways to reduce the deficit by at least $880 billion over a decade. Lawmakers have taken Medicare off the...

Know your GOP lies. One GOP talking point on the budget: “the word ‘Medicaid’ isn’t in the bill.” True—but the bill directs the committee overseeing Medicaid to cut an amount impossible to hit WITHOUT cutting Medicaid. They are lying. Again.
