A reminder that sweet, happy Paola is available for adoption through Pooch Carriage Crew dog rescue in Oklahoma! She's a 2 year old standard poodle or poodle mix. We love fostering her but she deserves her forever family.

Measles and tariffs, what century is this?

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.

I for one will never forgive or forget those who said β€˜it won’t be that bad’.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word β€œterrorism,” then expect to be called a β€œterrorist” soon yourself.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. β€œWhat can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

RFK Jr. Takes a Sledgehammer to Two Major Vaccine Developments Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is already implementing his dangerous anti-vax views at HHS.

NEW:

β€œKennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.”

If you have scripture on your tongue and hate on your agenda, kindly shut up and take a damn seat. You are what is wrong with this country right now.

If they truly believed they were saving America they'd be celebrating in the streets, not canceling town halls and hiding from their constituents.

You don’t have to watch MSNBC.

They are systematically firing their non-white hosts and you have every reason to turn the TV off.

I will not support bootlickers. I will not support those who kiss the ring. I will not support those who bend the knee. Ever.

With these exceedingly unqualified men getting appointed to positions under Musk/Trump, I think we need to accept the obvious conclusion that they slept their way to the top.

Seems only fair that they be painted with the same brush that they try to use on literally every woman who *is* qualified.

They continue to tell this debunked lie πŸ€₯ for a reason: so when they cut social security to pave the way for their tax cuts for the rich you think they had an actual reason to do it.

Congress: Save Medicaid Now Politicians are attempting to pass devastating cuts to Medicaid right now and we must act fast. Send a message telling your member of Congress to fight back now.

The House could vote next week on drastic cuts to Medicaid that would gut critical programs that protect the civil rights and dignity of millions of Americans β€” including people with disabilities.

Contact your member of Congress: No cuts to Medicaid.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Every single attorney who advocates for the defiance of court orders should be DISBARRED. Immediately.

Every. Single. One.

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it.

Strong power move for Team Cancer.
