Powell did a better job pointing out Trumps blatant lying than our media ever has.😵‍💫

It's crazy that medical training now not only focuses on taking care of ppl's health, but also how to be prepared to offer basic legal help to fight against hostile actions by this regime.

But, as the author says, "More than ever, it is up to us to protect each other."

On C-SPAN this morning I made it clear difference between 2 parties: Democratic party is the one that gave Americans Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act and Children's Health Insurance Program. GOP is the party of tax cuts for the wealthy and the Jan. 6 terrorist attack.

A “Striking” Trend: After Texas Banned Abortion, More Women Nearly Bled to Death During Miscarriage A new ProPublica data analysis adds to the mounting evidence that abortion bans have made the common experience of first-trimester miscarriage far more dangerous.

NEW: More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban.

Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.”

Looks like Trump sold a pardon for a million bucks.

His corrupt pardons have mostly been ignored by the legacy media. The 3rd chapter of #RoughBeast covers this extensively & should make anyone with even a scintilla of belief in the rule of law nauseous.

Trump wants 1 million deported, but despite his lies there aren't many murderers and rapists. Instead, they arrest teens for Driving While Brown, or use a ploy to disappear refugees who come to immigration court

In a world of Jake Tappers, be a Scott Pelley We need more Scott Pelleys!

We are currently being treated to a split screen that sums up the stark contrast in the world of journalism between inspirational courage versus spineless greed. The first is veteran journalist Scott Pelley. The other is Jake Tapper. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/in-a-world...

“Conservatives” are going to replace the most established and prestigious journals with government-backed propaganda.

He’s obviously also doing this because these journals won’t publish the crooked science he intends to perform to promote his crazy ideas.

Trump’s Fury at Harvard Gets More Deranged—and Exposes a Big MAGA Scam Trump says he’s attacking foreign students because they’re taking places reserved for American kids. But the House GOP budget bill would hurt countless American students from the working class.

Awful: Trump just blamed foreign students for taking the slots of American kids. But the cuts in the House GOP bill he's pushing could cost hundreds of thousands of working class kids their route to college.

Those two things are connected. 1/

Trump’s really pissed at us. We really should’ve just let him keep the classified documents, the hush money, the fake electors, and not convicted him at trial. The revenge stings, but I tell myself it’s temporary.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

To recap: House Republicans passed a budget in the dead of night by a single vote that will strip health care from millions of Americans, deliver a massive wealth transfer to the richest Americans, and exploded the deficit.

Bringing this to Bsky bc @steverattner.bsky.social hasn't posted it yet and it's so critical. The entirety of the cuts to Medicaid and food benefits are to pay for tax cuts for people earning more than half a million a year.

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes

The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight Justice Riggs is right. We should not have to fight for democracy. But the reality is that we must.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the inevitable defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy.

Republicans want to kick 7.6M people off Medicaid to save $625B over 10 years.

Universal healthcare with Medicare for All would guarantee everyone healthcare and save $650B every year.

Republicans don’t care about healthcare or saving money — they want to harm people.

Exactly! Listen up, Democratic leadership!
