They are mixing up their false narratives--DEI/green scam/etc. Oh I see, they are just stealing $ from blue states, which already pay more into federal taxes.

As the government shutdown begins, remember that one of the biggest deficit drivers of the past 20 years are Republican tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations. The issue isn't programs that help millions of Americans, it's giveaways to the rich.

I hope in 2026/28, more people can connect the dots that Republicans took away healthcare from Americans and tanked the U.S. economy while lying about trans people and "illegals" to distract them.

Explaining the G.O.P.’s Misleading Talking Point on the Looming Shutdown

Republicans clearly flunked civics in high school.

Undocumented immigrants CAN'T get Medicare, Medicaid, or healthcare tax credits. It’s against the law.

These guys lie because the facts are not on their side.

America's enemies are licking their lips. Nepotism and loyalty over merit will benefit them.

Donald Trump promised lower costs. Instead, his policies are hiking energy prices and squeezing working families.

While billionaires and fossil fuel companies reap the rewards, Trump is dismantling clean energy projects while Americans are left paying more just to keep the lights on.

Sounds like ai

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Trump publicly pushes Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute his political foes Alongside the extraordinary demand, the president also named his former defense attorney late Saturday to replace the head of a key prosecutor’s office he forced out a day earlier.

Again, the biggest crime hot spot in DC is the Trump White House.

I genuinely can't believe that anyone still cares about Ezra Klein's political advice

"It's extremely rare for networks to drop a show in response to political pressure."

That's because govt censorship is illegal.

Trump is using the FCC to censor coverage of him violating Americans' rights and freedoms. Kimmel's critique of Trump is devastatingly accurate. Kirk's a red herring.

Being a native born, U.S. citizen with a U.S. passport and a SS# won't save you from the power of the state against you and the privacy breaches that have already occurred.

A simple thought exercise to share w/ anyone who thinks authoritarianism is too "abstract" or that it's "just" a problem for non-citizens or criminals.

How would you really prove you are who you know you are?

Despite ‘No Tax on Tips,’ Trump’s Bill Is Bad for Tipped Workers. The legislation is especially harmful to working families--cuts to Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) total $900 billion, or 28 times the impact of “no tax on tips." www.americanprogress.org/article/desp...

On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed congressional Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) into law—enacting the largest-ever cuts to basic needs programs in U.S. history in order to fund tax cuts for the ultrawealthy. The law’s provisions have dozens of staggered beginning and ending dates over the next decade. Below is a timeline that details the enactment dates of cuts to health care and food assistance, the cancellation of policies to make American-made energy more affordable, the implementation of tax changes, and the enactment of policies that will raise the costs of higher education.

New from @lucerowx.bsky.social and the team at @americanprogress.bsky.social: a timeline for implementation of the "one big beautiful bill" that will bring so much unnecessary harm to America.

Dr. Coni: One patient had been receiving treatment with eye drops, but then I didn’t see her for months.. I wondered what had happened to her.

When she finally returned, she told me she had lost her Medicaid coverage and couldn’t afford her drops. As a result, she had gone blind in one eye.
