The GOP passed a budget that will eviscerate health care in rural areas. They delayed much of the impact for after the midterms, hoping the public will think any discussion of the impending collapse is hyperbolic.

Local reporters have a chance to do service journalism that'll make a splash too.

I asked Lina Khan what she wants people to remember about this moment.

Glad I found you here. Winning the internet, one gentle reminder at a time. :)

I'm officially hiring for a role I’ve needed for a long time... and I’m really excited (and a little nervous, ok... a lot nervous 😅) to put this out there.

I’m looking for a Visibility & Outreach Manager. Someone to help me expand my reach as an autistic advocate, author, and speaker.

May 21, 2025 Just after 1:00 this morning, the House Rules Committee began its hearing on what congressional Republicans have officially named The One Big, Beautiful Bill.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

Foxx: We’re interested in delivering… fiscal certainty for our future.

McGovern: You know what gives people fiscal certainty? Food in their refrigerators

A clip from the Fox News Channel's terms of use says the company's services are "for your personal enjoyment and entertainment."

Just a reminder that the "Fox News Channel" is just a name— it does not describe an actual news channel. The FNC's own description of its services is here, from its terms of use:

Thank you! Keep going! Vermonters elected you and we appreciate you, so much!

Oops, sorry for the mispelling, that's Representative Becca Balint @balint.house.gov

Last night we rallied to demand Mohsen Mahdawi be freed and today he is released on bail.

I shared his words and they stand true for every person who is or will be targeted by the cruel Trump administration, despite this country's promise of free speech and opportunity for all.

Mohsen Mahdawi's release shows us what we can do when we come together and fight for justice. Mohsen should have never been detained in the first place. We won’t let the Trump Administration continue to kidnap people off our streets. The fight doesn’t end here.

We have a moral responsibility to make sure kids are fed. Hungry kids struggle in school, have health problems, and are more likely to struggle with psychological and behavioral health issues. SNAP benefits are critical to so many families.

Protect SNAP!

Harvard won't accept the government’s terms as an agreement in principle and is not prepared to agree to demands that go beyond the lawful authority of this or any administration & now its website defends medical research funded by the federal grants Trump is threatening to withhold.
