"Today, Republicans jammed through a partisan megabill that slashes Medicaid, nutrition assistance, and other critical programs that Americans rely on in order to pay for massive tax breaks to the very rich. It’s clear that the Trump Administration and congressional Republicans are only interested in helping the wealthiest—even if it means ripping off working- and middle-class people, killing jobs, and hurting our economy. Americans deserve better than this. We are committed to doing everything we can to ensure all Virginians have the support they need in the wake of this disastrous legislation."

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social after we voted NO on the dangerous Republican megabill:

Yes rambling incoherently again, but apparently it’s an ode to William Leavitt, the racist postwar developer of suburbs who boasted about his use of racially restrictive deed covenants & continued to try to enforce them after SCOTUS ruled them unenforceable in 1948.

Everyone’s got to have heroes.

Correct. What comes for Harvard will come to others. There is not enough space nor $ to absorb students, postdocs, faculty, & labs. What happens when the administration attacks its next target? Protecting the project of American science & its benefits requires individual and collective action - now.

We’re so sorry, world.

This is a man that abuses his workers, and supports Dictator Don. Fuck Bezos.

I finally found my tweet from the last time this ridiculous bullshit popped up.🤣

Trump's Disappearing Of Mahmoud Khalil Should Be A Warning For Us All If Trump has his way, Kahlil will be just the first of many

The detention and threatened deportation of lawful permanent U.S. resident Mahmoud Khalil represents a disturbing escalation in Trump's anti-constitutional crusade.

Trump Suggests No Laws Are Broken if He’s ‘Saving His Country’ President Trump shared a quotation on social media, making it clear it was one he wanted people to absorb: “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”

President Trump posted on Saturday that a president "who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” as he tests legal and constitutional boundaries in the process of upending the federal government. It's not the first time he has suggested he has divine backing to enforce his will.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Colin Kaepernick taking a knee.

This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

Ron Howard FTW 🎯

I’ve been telling people the same. Hitler clinched ultimate power by destroying the Democratic institutions.

Visit me in the camps

Whole Foods, which is owned by notorious union-buster Amazon, is arguing that Trump's dismantling of the NLRB means the company doesn't have to recognize a newly unionized store in Philadelphia.

Looks like Jeff Bezos's investment in Trump is paying off.

Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, said extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich is "the most important economic issue of the day."

When asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25 an hour, he said, "No, sir."

They stand only for whatever Trump says.

I’m not as hopeful. He already showed us who he was and spent last year reinforcing it. And no one cared.

I love this!

Still guilty.

YouTube video by Robert Reich A Preview Of President Musk? | The Coffee Klatch with Robert Reich

If it wasn't clear before, it's crystal clear now: Elon Musk is the 47th President of the United States. And his presidency is going to be a government of, by, and for the wealthy and big corporations.

We break it all down on this week's Coffee Klatch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=spD9...

Now is THIS the face of a person who'd support cutting funds of research for kids with cancer?

Yes.
Yes it is.

A horrible person. So of course Trump loves him.

They make profits by denying healthcare to people. They kill people to make a buck.

This is absurd.
