They fired the people answering calls for help. Hundreds of them. During the crisis.

3 ‘Prebuttals’ for MAGA’s Coming Health Care Cuts Here’s what Republican leaders don’t want you to know about their Medicaid plans.

I'm biased. But there is not a more essential reporter/writer for the major health care/medicaid debate underway than @citizencohn.bsky.social . Today's newsletter is a must read.

Miranda’s Garden A magical, moon-soaked novel of grief, growth, and the gardens we carry inside us

My fabulous friend and author, Johnnie Mazzocco, has started a Kickstarter to get her novel published. I hope you will help her by pledging to get 'Miranda's Garden" into print. Go check it out. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mir...

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails.

Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

Our expectations for you were low but holy f*ck

Sign of the day…Chicago

Ummmm… genius.

GOP Senators voted to cancel Donold’s tariffs on Canada. I almost forgot that Congress could rebuke him if they really wanted to.

Confirmed cases of measles
in the US.

2020: 13

2021: 49

2022: 121

2023: 59

2024: 285

Total cases: 527 (5-years)

2025: (first 90 days)
628 confirmed cases of measles, and 3 deaths.

The best case scenario is that this is a stock shorting scheme, and in a week, there will be masterful (non-existent) "dealmaking" that removes the tariffs after the billionaires buy the dip causing a massive transfer of wealth.

That's the *best* case scenario.

BREAKING NEWS: America Is Back in the Slave Trade A Trump administration filing in federal court in Maryland may be the most shocking confession any presidential administration has made in generations—as it signals a reinstitution of the slave trade.

This is real. This is happening.

April 6, 2025 (Sunday) After President Donald Trump’s tariff announcements on April 2 wiped $5 trillion dollars from the stock market, the Republican Party is scrambling.

when people say "this isn't what I voted for" they should be forced to list what they DID vote for

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

The Birth of the Trump Doctrine Lies in the 1987 Recruitment of Donald Trump By the KGB During His Trip to Moscow That Year How Trump responded to his recruitment remains unclear. What is clear, however, is that it shaped his entrance into politics and his foreign policy in a way the world now ignores at its peril.

(📣) To apologize for having to push back the PROOF report on the new American slave trade until tomorrow (Sunday), I am making free to the public this recent massive PROOF investigative report.

I hope you will check it out and share it.

BREAKING: This is the crowd to see AOC in Greeley, Colorado where GOP Congressman Gabe Evans refuses to hold a town hall.

A tweet from "Covie" (@covie_93) that reads: "Speaker Mike Johnson from the great state of 'Louisnana' wants to get rid of the Department of Education." Below the tweet is an image of a large blue curtain featuring an emblem with a pelican and the words "SUPREME COURT" and "CONFIDENCE." The word "LOUISNANA" is prominently misspelled instead of "LOUISIANA." The mistake is highlighted with a red circle. In the foreground, three judges in black robes are seated at a table.

Can’t make this up.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right.

The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy.

We must end that international embarrassment.

Yes. We need Medicare for All.

America Chose the Monster We all make mistakes.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Well would you look at that.

We’re learning.
Each and every day.

Judge Reyes BLOCKS Trump's Ban on Transgender Service Members "The cruel irony is that thousands of transgender servicemembers have sacrificed, some risking their lives, to ensure for others the very equal protection rights the Military Ban seeks to deny them."
