Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans.

This is Washington at its worst.

We need to ban Congressional stock trading.

As @cmewing.bsky.social explains, Continetti also gets entirely wrong who is and isn’t to be counted among the constituents. That’s so telling: What Continetti says should be read as primarily an ideological claim about who he thinks *should* count and how the boundaries *should* be drawn.

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency.

The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

“There weren’t any campaigns that had failed after they had achieved 3.5% participation during a peak event,” says Harvard political scientist Erica Chenoweth – a phenomenon she has called the “3.5% rule”.
Numbers + Momentum = Regime Change
#NoKingsDay

Seems relevant.

the mainstream media has been steadily buying into the idea that science and academia are somehow "captured" by left and liberal ideologues, rather than the more obvious explanation that measured analysis leads people away from reactionary thought

NYT on January 7 if things had gone slightly differently: "Democrats Enter Risky Political Terrain as Protests Grip Capitol"

Everyone in the media should read and reflect on @shannimcg.bsky.social on democracy-framed coverage vs. point-counterpoint and strategic game frames osf.io/preprints/so...

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

They are in charge.

This is an important reminder: even the LAPD acknowledged yesterday that everything was peaceful.

Then Trump brought the chaos.

He is responsible.

Them: “LA is a full on insurrection”

Us at the protest:

Lee: Would say it would be “illegal DEI” for a lesson plan on the Tulsa race massacre?

McMahon: I’d have to get back to you

Lee: Do you know what the Tulsa race massacre is?

McMahon: I’d like to look into it more and get back to you on it.

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of. They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Covid19 vaccine is still recommended for children and pregnant people based on the science. No longer can we trust HHS and CDC as authorities on public health.

“Everyone has to make everything in the United States, or else!” he yells… as his family signs deal after deal for golf courses in other countries… and he accepts hundreds of millions in crypto bribes from unidentified foreign actors…

🤷🏼‍♂️

Right? Even if this whole thing was legal or humane, why don’t they send them to their country of origin? Someone’s making $ off this.

Lawyer for Venezuelans deported to El Salvador prison arrested Ruth López held without access to lawyers at secret location accused of ‘embezzlement’ a decade ago

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

Welcome to the RFK Jr public health era.

Make it make sense

NEW: Minnesota’s graduation rate just reached the highest level on record.

Two years ago, we made the single-largest investment in public schools in state history.
 
Today, we’re seeing the results.
