Analysis: Here’s how Trump’s megabill will affect you | CNN Politics Seniors, students, taxpayers, children, parents, low-income Americans and just about everyone else will be affected by the massive tax and spending bill being hashed out in real time on Capitol Hill.

This bill if passed by the House will shorten the lives of millions of Americans and bring the republic to the point of collapse. It’s a gift to oligarchs at home and enemies abroad.

If someone doesn’t ask Karoline Leavitt why she posted on social media that this bill includes no taxes on Social Security when she knows it is a lie and she intentionally lied to the American people, everyone in the room should lose their jobs.

Thank you to Natalie for being a voice for thousands of clinical trial patients who are not receiving the care they were promised. This is powerful.

This quote from Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko really resonates. He said the Ukrainian people know why they have to keep going because "When Ukrainians are fighting against Russia, thousands die.When Ukraine is occupied by Russia, millions die.”

8 days ago millions of people marched against the President and held signs and listened to speakers and AFAIK not a single one of them (nor the people attacking them in RW media) mentioned a war against Iran because it just wasn’t a thing then.

This must be stopped!!

Weingarten: Their attacks on public education are relentless and why? Because they fear knowledge. Why do they fear teachers? They fear us because we teach critical thinking… their brand of greed, power, and privilege cannot survive in a democracy of diverse educated citizens

Pure evil. t went pedal to the metal raiding working families in LA to turn the page on his idiotic fight with his xboyfriend/benefactor

Love it!!!

Defiance vs. Defeatism Why Harvard has to fight. Plus: Week in Review.

Saturday newsletter: The NYT's Defeatism.

It is the despairing voice that says resistance is futile; that capitulation is the only prudent move.

But we need to call bullshit, because this is a fight that demands defiance, not defeatism.

JHC!

I am worried that even as we see the weaponization of government against Trump's political opponents, too few have stepped forward to object. I worry that as a result, we will see an escalation of political retribution that will be met with what MLK called "the appalling silence of the good people."

'We Take Care of Our Own' Trump likes chaos, he craves it - and he doesn’t understand competency.

The Midterm attack ads write themselves.

She was my awful rep when we lived in NC & I had her office on speed dial - after a GWBush State of the Union she was caught on CSPAN running after him yelling: Mr. President! Where's our kiss?

Must Artists Help Turn the Tide? A Saturday Prompt

“We ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism, and let freedom ring," Springsteen said.

I hope it inspires other artists to use their voices in this urgent time.

Not one penny of taxpayer money to pay for the one billion dollar retrofit - 4 7 should have to pay it himself!!! Or do a
gofundme from his broligarchs!!!

He know NOTHING about American History, pathetic dolt.

My statement on the charges against @replamonica.bsky.social.

Rep. McIver was doing her constitutional duty. I stand with her and believe every American should be alarmed.

Yes, the media’s Biden coverage was flawed. But its reporting on Trump was far worse | Margaret Sullivan A new book has fueled controversy over press handling of the ex-president’s decline. But that distracts from a bigger problem

When will this media reckoning come? I’m thinking never. New from me https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/may/17/trump-biden-election-media-coverage?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.
