Funding bill may grant Trump, Musk more control over federal spending President Donald Trump and DOGE are set to gain more control over federal funds with the passage of a continuing resolution to avert a shutdown.

Every labor law is written in blood, and every environmental protection is punctuated in tombstones. This CR is a cynical Republican attempt to make you poorer sicker and less safe - while they rob you.

Tell your senator to VOTE NO on this CR!

Homeland Security Admits It Tried to Manufacture Fake Terrorists for Trump A new Homeland Security report details orders to connect protesters arrested in Portland to one another in service of the Trump's imaginary antifa plot.

In the past day, the Trump admin has declared protests against Tesla and news coverage criticizing the president "illegal."

Sharing this story I wrote in 2022 for a look how Trump previously surveilled protesters & sought loopholes to legally treat them like terrorists.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social: "When I was flying combat missions over Iraq in 1991, I didn't think there was some snotty nosed teenager in South Africa that was going to call me a traitor."

I have literally no motivation right now to go out and knock doors for Democratic candidates in New York. What am I supposed to tell people? Is this what the Party represents?

Republicans are burning our democracy to the ground and a handful of Democrats just handed them a full can of gas and box of matches.

We created a form you can use to send emails to your House Rep and Senators.

If they’re Dems who voted for the CR, it’s condemning the choice.

If they’re Dems who voted against the CR, it thanks them.

If they’re GOP, basically: 🖕

Have fun. Please share:

Musk Boosts Claim That Hitler Wasn’t to Blame for Holocaust The MAGA millionaire reposted a tweet saying “public sector workers”—not Hitler—caused atrocities.

(🧵) On Twitter, Elongelicals are insisting this Musk sentiment is right and defending him passionately. What makes this so interesting isn't that it's more antisemitism from Musk—an antisemite—but that he's encouraging historical analogies between 2025 America and N*zi Germany. So let's play it out.

whether they’re retiring or not this should be the last term for each of them

In case anyone finds this information useful.....

NEW: Here are the 10 “democratic” senators that voted to sell out veterans, the American people, and their colleagues in the House.

Cortez Masto
Durbin
Fetterman
Gillibrand
Hassan
King
Peters
Schatz
Schumer
Shaheen

TELL THE TRUTH.

The Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to avert a government shutdown has a bunch of poison pills.

Example:

It zeroes out the Toxic Exposures Fund to care for veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances.

Heartless MONSTERS who HATE our vets.

Indeed.

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

I’m going to wear my favorite t-shirt on @joy.msnbc.com in the Bishop’s honor 😁

They really are.

So, does the “make America great again” part come after all of the embarrassing as fuck, screw the planet, public health is for pussies, billionaire taint licking, government selling, yay racism, yay sexism, yay beat the police, dystopian hellscape stuff?

Just checking.

Speaker Mike Johnson says Trump’s release of thugs who beat up cops and smeared feces in the Capitol is a “redemption” story.
Johnson’s use of religious language to justify fascism is disgusting.

Trump's Day One executive orders were a huge gift to to the Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Oil, and private prison companies who bankrolled his campaign.

The big losers? Ordinary Americans desperate for lower costs.

No. This is not true. And spreading disinformation about privacy preserving tools in our current environment could literally get someone killed, so please stop saying shit like this just cuz you think it scores you “I know more than you” points

Trump is now ordering health agencies to stop warning Americans about bird flu and to halt publication of scientific reports.

This comes as egg prices are expected to skyrocket in the coming days.

To someone not into this it is seriously weird.

But to everyone who is, this is important

And it’s another reason to be very concerned about the influence this guy has - period

We really need to put significant barriers in place to get money out of politics and level the field for everyone
