It does not take a rocket scientist to know Bernie doesn’t care about the working class. If he did he wouldn’t be out touring the country denigrating the Democratic Party.

Hey fellow veterans. The asshole has decided that you shouldn’t be able to get retirement benefits you earned through your tenure, and medical disability benefits you get for the service related injuries or illnesses

Not a single Demo or β€œlib” supports that. It’s entirely a project 2025 thing.

Opinion | Emil Bove is a unique threat to the justice system The nominee for a lifetime federal judgeship has demonstrated a total disregard for the high ethical standards to which most federal prosecutors hold themselves.

Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought."

So we’re going to put some more money behind this ad and run in places where lots of @realDonaldTrump supporters can see it. 😈

Just a reminder of who Thom Tillis is:

In 2013, as N.C. House Speaker, he passed a massive voter suppression law that was struck down because it targeted Black voters "with almost surgical precision.”

In the Senate he voted against the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Right Act.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Host: Are you saying the US did not see intelligence that the Supreme Leader had ordered weaponization?

Rubio: That’s irrelevant

Host: No, that's a key point

Rubio: No it’s not… Forget about intelligence

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would:
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

The Trump team thinks Confederate traitors who killed Americans are worth honoring.

But Americans who fought at Normandy in D-Day like Medgar Evers, or served in the Navy like Harvey Milk and Cesar Chavez, or worked as a spy for the US Army like Harriet Tubman, well, they are NOT worth honoring.

BREAKING: Elon Musk is now directly trolling Donald Trump on Twitter.

The Seven Ugliest Provisions in Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' Weakened courts, happy heirs, and work requirements. The House-passed version of Donald Trump's tax plan takes from poor

Trump's Big Bill:

-Expands his power to ignore court rulings
-Gives the ultra-wealthy an even bigger estate tax break
-Disqualifies nearly 2M children from the child tax credit
-Adds unnecessary red tape that would kick millions of people off Medicaid

It's a big, ugly mess.

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals β€” the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc.

It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.
