There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to Medicaid.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's new ride? $50 million in taxpayer dollars. Congress passed this funding to support our Coast Guard – not to pay for a private plane that flies 30,000 feet over them.

This is so true! My daughter was diagnosed with a rare lung disease at 6 months old. The process for getting her Medicaid was shockingly difficult. The social safety-net I always thought was there to help in a crisis.... is riddled with holes and people fall through... it's designed that way.

Omfg it's the worst mindfuck to love a family member who has bought into the cult of 45/7... like I hate every word coming out of their mouth... they're fully unreachable...but I would give them a kidney......probably.

Welcome to the Pro-Death Administration From climate change to nuclear weapons to lethal disease, the Trump administration seems to have decided that preventing mass death isn’t really government’s business anymore.

Welcome to the Pro-Death Administration from @newrepublic.com.... so they think only libs get cancer?

The results last night proved America cannot be bought. Trump and Musk expect us all to lay down while they steamroll over our lives and liberties.

Fuck that, and fuck them.

Trump Warned U.S. Automakers Not to Raise Prices in Response to Tariffs The threat came in a call earlier this month,Β leaving CEOs worried they would face punishment if prices go up.

Remember when the Republican Party was all about NOT having the government interfere in the pricing decisions of private corporations? We do. www.wsj.com/business/aut...

The thing to remember is Hegseth could’ve added Xi and Putin to the chat and put the nuclear codes in there and Fox News and Newsmax and Republicans would still be defending it.

I hope every woman, I hope every Black person, I hope every person from a group that Trump and his guys have called incompetentβ€”are reading these text message stories and realizing these guys have been projecting their incompetence onto you. Racist ideas are normally projections.

All those bozos lied under oath yesterday saying no war plans were shared in that Signal thread. Atlantic first thing this morning: β€œoh yeah? eat shit.” This is like the most hopeful thing that’s happened since this nightmare started.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

BREAKING: A court overturned Ohio's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth.

This is a critical victory for trans rights.

Of the 3,498 service members who have received the Medal of Honor throughout U.S. history, only 88 have been black. The first, pictured here in a black and white photo is Sgt William Carney shown wearing a 3 piece suit and his medal of honor pinned to his left chest pocket area. 
On July 18, 1863, the soldiers of Carney's regiment led the charge on Fort Wagner. During the battle, the unit's color guard was shot. Carney, who was just a few feet away, saw the dying man stumble, and he scrambled to catch the falling flag.

Despite suffering several serious gunshot wounds himself, Carney kept the symbol of the Union held high as he crawled up the hill to the walls of Fort Wagner, urging his fellow troops to follow him. He planted the flag in the sand at the base of the fort and held it upright until his near-lifeless body was rescued.

Even then, though, he didn't give it up. Many witnesses said Carney refused to give the flag to his rescuers, holding onto it tighter until, with assistance, he made it to the Union's temporary barracks. 

Promoted for His Actions
Carney lost a lot of blood and nearly lost his life, but not once did he allow the flag to touch the ground. His heroics inspired other soldiers that day and were crucial to the North securing victory at Fort Wagner. Carney was promoted to the rank of sergeant for his actions.

For his bravery, Carney was awarded the Medal of Honor on May 23, 1900.

The Defense Dept has deleted references to Black, Hispanic & female service members as well as topics such as the Civil War from its website in order to remove all references to diversity, equity, & inclusion.
Sgt William H. Carney, a former slave, is the first black man to get the Medal of Honor.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social was so surprised by Donald Trump's turn as a Tesla salesman, he wrongly assumed some of the photos were faked.
