Like tough-love teachers from your school days, Ms. Clinton brings an assignment for the long weekend:

When you gather with friends & family, tell them how the GOP budget hurts kids.

Now we know: she’s been right all along.

In paeans to Springsteen's bravery for standing up to this regime, do not throw The (Dixie) Chicks under the bus as having an easier time or less moral courage. Try being an outspoken woman in this world in this century. The Chicks earned our respect. They still have it. @nicollewallace.bsky.social

On January 6, 2021, President Trump incited a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol—and yet the plaque honoring the officers who defended us sits forgotten in the basement.

If Speaker Johnson won’t display it, then I will.

I’m proud to affix this replica outside my office.

Yesterday, in the context of an emergency (there was none) motion with no argument and limited briefing, the Court overturned almost a century of precedent to just about end independent agencies. This is not how real courts behave.

Jen Kiggans voted for the GOP’s budget bill, which includes massive Medicaid cuts, because she’d rather be in good graces with Trump than protect Virginians’ health care. Despicable. #VA02

22 May 1931 | French Jewish boy, Henri Ventura, was born in Paris.

He was deported to #Auschwitz from #Drancy on 11 February 1943. He was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.

I voted NO on their “big, beautiful” bill because it will strip health care from 14 million Americans—including nearly 130,000 people in my district who rely on Medicaid.

Early this morning, House Republicans passed Trump's "big, beautiful" budget bill to kick millions of Americans off Medicaid and fund tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations - but not before they snuck in even more changes that will make life harder for the most vulnerable Americans.

Breaking:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Judge blocks Trump's executive order to shut down the Education Department.

Several lawmakers, including Sen. Bernie Sanders warned Paramount not to settle, with some saying that such a move could violate laws against bribery.

Colbert went into mock outrage mode.

I'm outraged, too. @60minutes.bsky.social was the last good thing on CBS and now they've ruined that.

The next 100 days will be tougher than the last, they expect you to burn out and accept it, they expect you to stop protesting and sit quietly at home. They expect you to submit yourself to fascism and just let it happen. You are better than that. Make them expect your diligence and consistency. #3E

Trump’s acceptance of the Qatari jet is yet another example of this administration’s rampant corruption… and opens up a whole host of security concerns. Another new low from an administration that can’t stop embarrassing itself.

Rest in Peace, Rep. Connolly.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

You can tell that the One Big Beautiful Bill* is truly beautiful because they’re holding the hearing after midnight

* Yes, that’s actually the name

I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver.

This is a political stunt—point blank.

NORM!

Actor George Wendt, who started at Second City, dies at 76. As Norm on ‘Cheers’ and in real life, no one was a better everyman. George Wendt, the actor and comedian who cut his teeth at Chicago’s improvisational comedy troupe Second City before finding fame as part of the ensemble cast of the beloved 1980s NBC sitcom “Cheer…

Y’all may want to check to see if you are following Jake Tapper @jaketapper.bsky.social here on Bluesky and if you are then unfollow him. He has 291,000 too many followers. Then pass it on.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.

I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

The GOP's budget would make brutal cuts to food assistance and our colleagues won't shield veterans from their cruelty.

Veterans are not waste. They're not fraud. And they're not abuse.

House chamber burst into laughter when Marjorie Taylor Greene called for
"decorum."

BREAKING: Kristi Noem doesn’t know what Habeas Corpus is.

This is highly concerning

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.

How DOGE’s grand plan to remake Social Security is backfiring The agency is abandoning an initiative aimed at preventing fraud, the latest example of a failed effort by Elon Musk’s disruptive cost-cutting team.

Trump Republicanism in action at your social security administration:

"field offices are finding a dire situation: no more paper, no more printers, and no ability to shred documents, or pay phone bills..."
