Mostly here to listen. Liberal atheist senior who loves dogs. Never thought Orwell and Atwood's dystopias would occur simultaneously. Heartbroken for the country.

Ossoff: Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was going to release the Epstein files?

The official White House rapid response account is just blatant lying. No taxes on Social Security is not in the bill.

Evaluating the impact of two decades of USAID interventions and projecting the effects of defunding on mortality up to 2030: a retrospective impact evaluation and forecasting analysis USAID funding has significantly contributed to the reduction in adult and child mortality across low-income and middle-income countries over the past two decades. Our estimates show that, unless the a...

Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030.

Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.

The CFPB Has Been Gutted The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Hey @cnn.com , as one of the estimated 3.5 MILLION+ protestors today, I want to know why this isn't your top story? If we were pro-Trump, would it be newsworthy? Found one mention at the bottom of your top news page; been watching you on TV for some time with no mention whatsoever. 😑😑😑

@maddow.msnbc.com I know there were huge protests everywhere, but the turnout here in Woodstock, Georgia, was particularly unbelievable. They estimate 1200 people showed up in a town of 30k that voted 70 percent for Trump! The largest protest I've been to here before was generously 40 people. 🌊

The unitary executive theory is really just a way to cloak the morphing of a democratically elected president into a dictator with the appearance of legality. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere

The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.
