Caught! Trickery precluded by Senate rule-keeping…There’s no easy way out, Sen Murkowski. You either own this once-in-several generations disaster of a Bill, or you do the right thing and walk away…You cannot have it both ways. None of you may…

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs? VOUGHT: I reject the assertion MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

An American president told a city of 10 million people to evacuate it immediately as he urgently leaves the G7 to fly to DC and then … nothing. But people still treat him as if he isn’t insane and a threat to everyone. Oh, and Biden was old.

I agree; I think Utahns need to stand up and call out the disgusting things Mike Lee has said about the Minnesota assassinations, and we all need to put pressure on our reps to openly and loudly condemn him. Dems need to not let this violent and cruel rhetoric slide, call them out on it every time!

One of the smartest decisions the "No Kings" organizers made was not staging a counter-protest of Trump's parade in DC. He wanted that confrontation.
Instead, millions gathered around the country while Trump's parade fell far short of attendance goals. It made Trump look small.

Newsom on Trump's military parade: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, you see it with Putin, you see it with dictators around the world that are weak ... Weakness masquerading as strength ... that's about as small as it gets ... that's Donald Trump."

Odd, how MS-13 gang members are all ALL OVER California during elections, but conspicuously absent when ICE is rounding up "criminals" in that state. Instead, ICE goes to Home Depot to arrest helpful people looking for home improvement jobs. It's *almost* as if everything Trump tells us is a lie.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Pride Month isn’t about elevating one existence over others; it’s about lifting those who have been told their existence or their love is wrong, that they are less. I’d love to not need a month dedicated to lifting people from persecution, hate, or self-loathing. Till then, I’m here for the lift.

House budget bill would lead bottom income quintile to lose ~4% of their income on average ($800), but top percentile would see their incomes rise 4% (nearly $70,000). If tariffs remain in place, the overall impact on families would be even more regressive. budgetlab.yale.edu/research/dis...
