Shaniqua McClendon: Republicans who vote for this bill are hurting their own...They can only afford to lose 3 votes in the House…Medicaid is a program that we actually can save.

But ultimately history will judge him as the guy who refused to convict Trump after Jan 6th in the Senate and allow him to run for president again.

They hate "DEI" because more diversity reveals mediocrity.

My exact thought

House GOP budget proposal is lower taxes for Elon Musk, less food for poor kids.

The U.S. Left's cynicism and laughter at all of these things occurring in the U.S. government, which will impact everyone else around the globe, are not helpful. None of this is funny. The suffering people are already experiencing and what is to follow is insurmountable. Solutions or just stop.

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

“I told you so” does not help. “Are you ready to do something about it?” does.

Beyonce! Just when I thought 2025 would be the worst year ever.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

Book rec of the day: Hood Feminism by Mikki Kendall.

"White feminists often fail to see how race, class, sexual orientation and disability intersect with gender....How can feminists stand in solidarity as a movement when there is a distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others?"

Lest you assume that by “bipartisanship” he means Republicans should cross the aisle to check Trump, we saw what he means with the significant Democratic support for the disastrous Laken Riley bill. He means surrender. And so he should step aside for a new leader.

Proof that no one should’ve been nice to Trump. He’s shitting on Biden right in front of him

This sucks so bad

I’d feel better about them if they spent their gobs of money on making their party better. They could invest in primaries to stop MAGA from making it to general elections. So much they could do to undermine Trump, especially since many of them helped us march toward this.

Far from Hollywood's wealth, Los Angeles fire survivors feel forgotten Residents say that insurance companies might shortchange less affluent households.

The media has focused on wealthy, White neighborhoods. But the fire in Altadena--a racially and economically diverse suburb--deserves more attention, because insurance may not cover their rebuilding costs, forcing families out and leading the neighborhood to gentrify.

We can instantly become the houseless, migrants, refugees, or whatever displaced people we're told to hate and scapegoat if worsening conditions say so.

‘Pizzagate’ gunman fatally shot by police outside Charlotte in traffic stop Kannapolis police said Edgar Maddison Welch pointed a gun at officers on Saturday, two of whom then fired at him.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.

That is a lie.

The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

Clearly he’s not self conscious or insecure about it. And women haven’t taught men anything, patriarchy has.

There’s an entire history of Black radicalism and anti authoritarianism beginning in southern states. You do not get the abolition of slavery, the civil rights movement, and other movements in between without Black southerners who imagine themselves beyond the confines of the American dream

People are reacting to living in the hellscape greedy corporations have created

Democratic congresswoman Crockett says "we stuck in our old ways of doing things, which is you get there by seniority: if you've been there longer, you get the post."

"I don't think we fully sit there and say, who may be best equipped for this moment?"

‘Probably the worst night of my life’: Saint Vincent Hospital nurses allege two patient deaths related to understaffing - The Boston Globe The assertions come nearly three years after nurses at the Worcester hospital settled a strike with the hospital’s for-profit owner, Tenet Healthcare, a battle waged in part over staffing levels.

Nurses at Saint Vincent Hospital in Worcester allege that cost-saving measures are causing pervasive lapses in care, including two patients dying after failing to receive potentially life-saving dialysis.

Second one is the best one

Beyoncé brings out Tiera Kennedy, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer and Reyna Roberts

Why are football minutes so long?!?! #beyonce please

I can’t believe Beyonce has me watching football on vacation. This is very definition of emotional labor.
