Here’s a thought: instead of bargaining for ACA tax credits, Dems should demand that the GOP trade in tax relief for billionaires for Medicare for All!

Why would they do this??? Makes no sense.

This is how it’s done.

This is a corrupt grift by the Trump regime. Companies and hospitals (many of which rely on H1-B visas to staff hospitals) need to push back NOW!

If only people had listened to the women - and voted for a woman - we’d all be better off.

Ben Bradlee and Katharine Graham are rolling over in their graves.

This is a bad political and economic choice.

If you pitched this level of hypocrisy and willful incompetence for a Hollywood movie they’d say no one would buy it.

There will be food shortages before end of summer.

The Texas Flash Flood Is a Preview of the Chaos to Come Climate change is making disasters more common, more deadly and far more costly, even as the federal government is running away from the policies that might begin to protect the nation.

NEW: The number of extreme weather disasters has jumped fivefold worldwide over the past 50 years, and the number of deaths has nearly tripled.

The recent disaster in Texas is a grim omen of the climate chaos still to come.

It’s Not Just a Constitutional Crisis in the Trump Era. It’s Constitutional Failure | Washington Monthly While Trump defies constitutional norms, Congress remains conspicuously silent and the Supreme Court has abdicated its responsibility.

Imagine if the founding fathers deported anyone who disagreed with them…

ICE needs to be stopped.

The Trump administration is literally stealing or destroying taxpayer-paid public assets.

This is a sad day in America when our highest court in the land says Trump can deport people to dangerous countries with which they have no connection and with no hearing. Utterly lawless and inhumane.

Why or why would wewant more cancer-causing asbestos? This BS needs to stop.

Judge rules EPA termination of environmental justice grants was unlawful EPA cannot "thumb its nose at Congress" by refusing to spend appropriated funds, the judge wrote.

Another big EPA ruling: A federal judge ruled that the EPA had broken the law in refusing to spend $600 million in environmental justice grants from the Biden administration,

This story line is the “Do Not Look Up” of chemical policy - so outrageous you’d think it was an SNL skit, but no. Trump’s EPA is poisoning people in more ways than one.

Maybe throwing a Senator to the ground and handcuffing him for asking a question was designed to keep people from hearing about this???

Authoritarian on Parade Deploying soldiers against American cities while parading tanks through D.C.? This is the dictator playbook, page by page.

Tanks in DC Troops in LA. A military parade on his birthday.

Trump is done pretending. This is what authoritarianism looks like in America.

My latest on why we must speak out now — before silence becomes complicity.

The corporate media is failing to stand up to fascism.

This is insane.

This was a real and important commencement speech. The one we heard at my son’s graduation was some vanilla ice cream about teams. How can higher ed send graduates into a world where truth, democracy, diversity, humanity, education and free speech are under attack and fail to acknowledge it?

It’s more than in conflict with human trafficking. It is human trafficking and it makes human trafficking by non-government criminal actors easier.

You can’t improve children’s health while eliminating clean air and clean water laws and gutting EPA. More toxic chemicals and pollution = sicker people.

The chemical industry has a long list of "asks" from the new administration. These requests will leave people exposed to more toxic chemicals and pollutants in the air, water, homes, and workplaces. Read the list. What do you think?
