This is David Valadao (R-CA). If he votes for this bill, 65,140 of his constituents would lose access to their healthcare. 60,580 of his constituents could lose access to their food assistance. 3,612 energy jobs in his district could be lost.

In a future where everyone has access to the same A.I. assistants, “it’s possible that the ability to write original and interesting sentences will become only more important,” Hua Hsu writes.

These are vile, soulless people. I hope hell is real so they can rot in it for all eternity.

Laughing. In front of a cage, under a tent, in the middle of a swamp, surrounded by alligators-where they plan to hold HUMAN BEINGS whose only crime was crossing a border in search of a better life for their family.
These are the darkest of days.
If you look at this picture and feel joy, may God have mercy on your soul.

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.

With the passage of Trump’s big bullshit bill, it’s time to post this again. Never seen a better, more accurate description of this guy.

It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if we took everything that was bad about America, scraped it up off the floor, wrapped it all up in an old hot dog skin, and then taught it to make noises with its face.

That’s right. The billionaire bailout bill forces your tax dollars to pay for concentration camps and masked thugs to disappear your neighbors without due process. 16M people will be thrown off healthcare to pay for that, along with tax breaks for the rich.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

washingtonpost.com

Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.

They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

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.

What?!?! The EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants. The agency claims these plants “do not contribute significantly” to dangerous pollution or climate change, arguing their emissions are a small and declining share of global totals.
