You didn’t have to hear anybody’s opinion about literally anything unless they were within slapping distance

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Who is going to do something?

This is Kim Jong-Un shit.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

the amount of mealy-mouthed people crawling out of the woodwork to imply mahmoud khalil doesn’t deserve our full-throated support is evidence of the conditions that allowed him to be disappeared in the first place.

freezing the account for Habitat. these are bad people; they deserve worse things than can be prudently enumerated in a public-facing place.

50 days in, and what does the Trump administration have to show for it? Chaos, corruption, and higher prices.

Epic idea

Republican Medicaid cuts could shutter rural hospitals, maternity care Potential Medicaid cuts could devastate America’s teetering rural health-care system and jeopardize Republicans’ political power among rural voters.

Rural hospitals are a lifeline for millions of Americans, but proposed Medicaid reductions put them at risk. When hospitals struggle, entire communities suffer—maternity care and emergency services shouldn’t be on the chopping block.

Rising fruit & veggie prices are related to "anti-immigrant" policies in states like FL & TX. MAGA would rather let crops rot on the ground rather than admit that immigrants help drive our economy. Support Dems opposing Trump. http://dlvr.it/TJQj14

Trump won’t rule out a recession…

“It takes a little time.”

What’s going to take a little time? We weren’t in a recession under Biden!

Americans were promised lower costs, but so far, all the Trump administration has brought us is chaos, corruption, and tax cuts for billionaires. We need to focus on policies that actually lower costs on everything from child care to housing and healthcare.

NEVER.

Remember the pandemic that Trump mismanaged? Kids in rural areas sat in fast food parking lots to get WiFi to attend school.

Dems passed & Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act for reliable Internet access for everyone. On day one, Trump reversed it. http://dlvr.it/TJRdfV

Throwback Thursday…

Remember that time Biden cornered the entire Republican Party into denying they’d cut Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid for a $1T tax break for billionaires?

That was only a year ago. Now, the biggest earned benefits cut in history is in their budget.

What a photo.

Green must be the start of something, not the end.

Musk and Republican Lawmakers Pressure Judges with Impeachment Threats Democrats say the calls to remove judges who block Trump administration initiatives amount to intimidation. Some senior Republicans are also skeptical of the effort.

Threatening judges with impeachment for rulings you don’t like undermines our democracy. Judges must be free to uphold the Constitution.

What happened in the Oval Office is yet another example of the chaos that has defined the Trump administration. President Zelensky came in good faith, but instead of support, he was met with hostility. America must stand with democracy and the Ukrainian people.
