You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Families like this Georgia family are having to pay quadruple the cost just to stay insured on the lowest cost.
Republicans own this.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

Seems funny.. ie continuously ridiculous, that Medicaid is what the administration is cutting access to, and they’re the recipients that will get the pharma discounts

Blaming Democrats for a shutdown when you control the House, Senate, and the White House only proves you can't govern.

If we’re renaming departments and calling the DOD the “Department of War”, we might as well go ahead and make the DOJ the “Department of Revenge”

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Trump has just fired U.S. attorney Michele Beckwith for reminding the Administration follow a court order.

She is the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento and lost her job for telling a Border Patrol chief to follow a judge’s restrictions on immigration raids.

This is the official communication from the FDA to physicians on acetaminophen use in pregnancy.
- They acknowledge the lack of a causal link with autism
- Essentially tell physicians to keep doing what we've been doing anyway
It's very different from the press conference.
Pass it on.

Official communication from FDA to physicians on acetaminophen use in pregnancy acknowledges there is no causal link between its use in pregnancy and autism. Also states clearly that this is the safest over the counter treatment for fever and pain in pregnancy. It is very different from what was communicated at the press conference.

More than anything else, I object to this president stealing our time and attention. We can’t even have a Sunday morning without hearing about some insane thing he said and wondering if that insane thing will become real because he’s insane.

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes.

That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

A man very recently called for “involuntary lethal injection” for the mentally ill and the unhoused.

Literally talking about murdering other humans—and he still kept his job.

How does the Utah gov know it’s political WHEN THEY DON’T HAVE A SUSPECT??

Karen Attiah @karenattiah.bsky.social · 28d

What's crazy is that we don't know who the shooter is, or what the motivation for shooting Kirk was.

But already, rhetorical charges of political terrorism, and blaming the left.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 28d

Here we go. Trump just made it unmistakably clear that it will now be absolutely open season on whoever they decide to label "the left," and that this will be pursued with the full force of the government. This could get very, very bad.

Jamie Carter @jctheresistance.demcast.com · 28d

So another shooting in Utah. I want to make a few things perfectly clear.

1. The Utah GOP made today's shooting possible, allowing for open carry on campus. That law went into effect in March.

2. We frequently deal with armed men with guns that show up to our rally's. It is a way of life here.

My state is led by mice who pretend to be lions. When Trump called and told them to jump...they said "how high, daddy?" I've never seen such pathetic small people but we have the choice to fight back. Check out my latest on the fight to gerrymander Missouri. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

These aren't Missouri values

Governor Mike Kehoe's move for a mid-decade gerrymandering and crushing direct democracy has nothing to do with our values and everything to do with keeping power
