BOY, THESE CONSERVATIVES ARE REALLY SOMETHING, AREN'T THEY? THEY'RE ALL IN FAVOR OF THE UNBORN. THEY WILL DO ANYTHING FOR THE UNBORN. BUT ONCE YOU'RE BORN, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN. PRO-LIFE CONSERVATIVES ARE OBSESSED WITH THE FETUS FROM CONCEPTION TO NINE MONTHS.
AFTER THAT, THEY DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT YOU. THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. NO NOTHING. NO NEONATAL CARE, NO DAY CARE, NO HEAD START, NO SCHOOL LUNCH, NO FOOD STAMPS, NO WELFARE, NO NOTHING. IF YOU'RE PREBORN, YOU'RE FINE; IF YOURE PRESCHOOL, YOU'RE FUCKED.

How do you make the argument that feeding hungry kids is "a waste?"

And yet, that's exactly the argument that Senate Republicans made tonight.

@aoc.bsky.social We’d like your help organizing a March on Washington to ensure protester safety and secure permits. We’re aiming for a Saturday at least two weeks out to allow for travel planning.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed.

Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly.

Yet another reason he must be rejected.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse.

Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.
