No Democrat should support military assistance for a government that is starving an entire population. This should not be a close call or some agonizing debate.

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country!

It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

WATCH: @aoc.bsky.social explains how the Republican bill will:

- Gut Medicaid
- Increase premiums for private health insurance
- Force rural hospitals to close

All to give a giant tax handout to billionaires.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

The first thing Trump/Doge/Duffy did about aviation was to fire FAA staffers, including controllers.

The second thing was to see whether a long-standing technology contract could be siphoned to Musk.

The third was to blame DCA disaster on DEI.

Fourth, calling controllers 'unpatriotic'

Next?

Trump fires Librarian of Congress and Baltimorean Carla Hayden President Donald Trump fired Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden on Thursday, according to statements from House Democrats.

Dr. Carla Hayden has served as Librarian of Congress with honor and distinction, bringing our prized institution to new heights.
 
Trump’s outrageous, politically-motivated move to fire her is despicable. The Library of Congress belongs to the American people — NOT to Trump.

Walz: When did government get to tell you how many dolls your child has? Government just big enough to fit in your bedroom, your womb, and apparently now in your toy chest.

Sending love and support to our transgender service members. Thank you for your continued desire to serve and protect this country. I’m so sorry this pathetic draft dodger has any say in who can defend our country and the Constitution since he has no intention of doing either. 🤍🏳️‍⚧️

Canadian PM Mark Carney says he asked Trump today to stop calling Canada the '51st state'.

The masked ICE agents are in DC today, as rumored, whisking people off the street while covering their faces completely.

*me, lying facedown on the bed, yelling into the mattress:

"WHY DO THOSE OF US WHO DIDN'T FUCK AROUND ALSO HAVE TO FIND OUT"

A list of bad-news headlines wrapped up with an Atlantic article headlined “Why are young people everywhere so unhappy?”

I don’t know man, what could it possibly be?

When the topic is women the conflict is that women are failing society. When the topic is men it's that society is failing them.

This from @oliverdarcy.bsky.social is very worrying and also important

This is to the shame of our country

republicans are disappearing people under the guise of fighting antisemitism and can’t even pretend to give a fuck when a jewish governor’s house gets firebombed on passover

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

Just insane stories from the graduate school communities, students getting kicked out of the country - medical and science researchers - because of trivial, decade-old violations, like speeding tickets, long ago, paid in full

Target suffers 10th consecutive week of foot traffic declines, sinking stock prices since caving on DEI Costco, which resisted pressure to ditch DEI, extends foot-traffic gains streak to 15.

The divergence here from two companies with *very* similar customer bases is pretty wild, you do not see this sort of thing happen at scale very often.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he has “100% hatred” toward Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

“How else can you see a person who came here and murdered our people, murdered children?” says Zelenskyy. https://cbsn.ws/3YyaIlp

The Case Zablocki Act literally requires the text of any agreements the executive branch enters into with foreign states to be PUBLISHED ON THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE WEBSITE within 120 days of going into effect (thanks, @bcfinucane.bsky.social for the reference!) www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.

Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

May I recommend a nice lady podcast with swearing?

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.

It is blatantly unconstitutional.

yeah man, please make my 85 year
old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been.

What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.
