You can rationalize it however you want but staying on twitter is a terrible choice. It is not the “town square.” It is the world’s disease-ridden dump. You don’t need to be there to think critically or write relevantly or stay abreast of current events.

@5calls.org makes it easy to find an issue, brings up five reps to call based on your location. Each rep comes with click to dial and a script. Pro tip: If the line is busy, try their local number also in the app. It just means that more people are holding their reps to account.

Speaker Johnson should just take the L on this vote. Most of America doesn’t want this bill to pass anyways. It’s it both the worst and most unpopular piece of legislation in modern history.

More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act.

A line chart titled “Support for Medicaid Work Requirements Rises Sharply Near Age 65”. The chart shows the percent of respondents supporting Medicaid work requirements by single year of age, with lines broken down by party identification: Democrat (blue), Independent (orange), and Republican (red). The y-axis represents percent support (ranging from 30% to 80%), and the x-axis represents age of respondent (from ~20 to ~85). All three lines show a sharp upward inflection around age 65, marked with a vertical dashed line labeled “Medicare Eligibility Age (65).” Support increases most sharply among Independents and Republicans after age 65. The note at the bottom clarifies the question wording: “Require able-bodied adults under 64 years of age who do not have dependents to have a job in order to receive Medicaid.” Data source: 2024 CES Pre-Election Wave, calculations by Adam Bonica.

Support for Medicaid work requirements spikes at 65—right when Medicare kicks in.

At 65, people stop needing Medicaid and suddenly start supporting cuts to it.

Zohran's win has a message for national Dems, if they can hear it. Campaign on an aspirational platform that you actually believe in, wear your true politics on your sleeve, don't equivocate or triangulate or throw people under the bus in the name of attracting 'undecideds'.

Agreed.

Here Is All the Science at Risk in Trump’s Clash With Harvard More than 900 research grants worth $2.6 billion are in jeopardy. So is the 80-year-old model of American science.

Trump wants to punish Harvard by cutting off federal grants but the result is cutting research into cancer, mental health, opioid addiction, sleep deprivation and hundreds of other projects that benefit Americans. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Step 1: Bomb Iran

Step 2: Ask - *checks notes* - China not to let them retaliate?

Trump Administration Knew Vast Majority of Venezuelans Sent to Salvadoran Prison Had Not Been Convicted of U.S. Crimes Homeland Security records reveal that officials knew that more than half of the 238 deportees were labeled as having no criminal record in the U.S. and had only violated immigration laws.

We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol.

Those lists include some 1,400 names. None of the names of the 238 Venezuelan deportees matched those on the lists.

Wut

If You Think We Can’t Beat Trump, Remember The 3.5% Rule History shows autocrats are vulnerable to massive nonviolent resistance

This past Saturday, Donald Trump's self-aggrandizing birthday parade was held in stark contrast to thousands of protests across the country. But what does this non-violent resistance against Trump add up to in terms of creating real change? Looking to history can help.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I can see how Hitler happened. The last decade or so in the U.S. makes it easy to imagine. Not just Hitler; the Tulsa race massacre, Rosewood, lynching, slavery, the Rwanda & Rohingya genocides & more. There is a wolf pack evil that lurks in the human heart and it’s easily activated by a demagogue.

"King Trump: This Week Reveals MAGA's End Game"

Trump & Stephen Miller's end game is a right-wing autocracy in which the military will be used to attack critics. This week is a sneak preview of the future of America.

Trump Calls Up the Marines. Democracy Is in Danger. The president is creating fake emergencies and then implementing real military interventions.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the president of the United States is goading the residents of LA into a violent confrontation, creating the sort of chaos that would justify a massacre, writes @sashaabramsky.bsky.social. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Bravo, Glendale. Bravo.

More, please.

And it's time for Democrats to loudly say, "Abolish ICE." Someone please stand up and have a spine.

All protestors need to do in California is wear MAGA hats and shirts and hold Trump posters and flags. Promote some conspiracy theories and also a Confederate flag. National Guard and police won't touch them.

“A peaceful protest, and this is what we’re greeted with. Where’s our right to protest?”

As Governor Newsom says, they want violence and a spectacle.

Imagine the reaction if Biden sent thousands of National Guardsmen and Blackhawks to Tennessee against Gov Lee’s wishes.

Here it is. It has happened.

We have the perfect social media post.

Seriously wtf though

Nick Offerman Rips MAGA 'Dumb F**k' Who Edited 'Parks & Rec' Clip To Trash Pride Month Thank you, Nick!

Thank you, Nick, for standing up for the LGBTQ+ community.

Please listen to the UN General Secretary.

The fact that a Trump voter wants me to know that they did not vote for mass deportations is not interesting to me. What is interesting to me is what they plan to do about mass deportations, and I hope the answer isn't "I plan to ask you to assure me that I'm a good person."

It’s odd to me that “we need to restore Christian values to Europe” is not coded as anti-Semitic even though it is, quite literally, anti-semitism’s original form.

Go, Elon, and Never Darken Our Doors Again The worst ultra-billionaire on Earth says he’s leaving government. Let’s hope he actually does it.
