Boston Mayor Michelle Wu at the House hearing on sanctuary cities:

"If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms. Stop cutting Medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our cities safe."

Mic drop!

I cannot quit laughing. I do want to cry too, because this is pure fascism, but OMG. 😂😂😂😂

MAGA, they are coming for your guns! You didn’t want Kamala or Joe because they will take your precious guns.

NOPE, but Trump sure will & without due process.

Attention working-class Americans:

Republicans’ new budget does NOT include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, or no tax on Social Security.

Instead it protects tax handouts for billionaires and makes way for the largest Medicaid cut in history.

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland.

Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk.

Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️

First things Trumpsters did at DOJ? Close anti-kleptocracy office (hello, Russian oligarchs); decapitate environmental office (hello, polluters).

When you see the seemingly random mad destruction of government taking place, look behind the curtain. Look for corruption.

Tom Homan basically threatened Eric Adams on live TV this morning: "If he doesn’t come through … I’ll be in his office, up his butt, saying, Where the hell is the agreement we came to."

This is a serious problem—Adams is compromised and desperate. He needs to go.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted.
Yet somehow Musk isn't.

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

My voice is not loud. I’m lucky if 100 people see my posts. But this is the most important message I have posted to Bluesky.

To service members, US marshals, fed agents:

You will be pressured to obey unlawful orders. Don’t.

I beg you: Uphold your oath. Stand with the people and the Constitution.

The numbers of people in *every* state who will be affected by Medicaid cuts at the $2T scale in the House budget is truly devastating.

This will mean:
*Nearly complete loss of rural health care
*Inability to pay for elder care in nursing homes
*Death sentences for those with chronic disease
