Well, whadya know: It's worse than we thought. £500 billion of MEDICARE worse. They lied. And even now are denying it. Just yesterday t-Rump said the BBBB was going to be 'great for Medicaid.' The Art of the Steal; the ultimate gaslight. Anyone surprised? youtube.com/shorts/RXpZy...
BREAKING: Republicans’ bill will now cut 500B from MEDICARE! Not just Medicaid cuts, Medicare too.

Call your representatives and senators to protest this!
The Big Bullshit Bill will not only decimate Medicaid (something that *no* congressional district supports by more than 15%), it will also codify the Trump administration's proposed changes to the ACA and allow its federal subsidies to expire. Millions of Americans will lose coverage.

Sounds like apt punishment to fit the crime. Can't help thinking of 2 characters in Charles Kingsley's Victorian moralistic children's tale 'The Water Babies': Mrs Doasyouwouldbedoneby and Mrs. Bedonebyasyoudid who were my first brush, age 8, with the idea of the Law of Karma as a guiding principle
our national traditions demand we send Stephen Miller to eat molar-shattering bread on a leaky sloop "without its being known he was placed there, as a Reward of his Merits"

Sam Adams on state kidnapping, 1747

"If it is true in fact, that there is anyone so lost to all sense of goodness, and so abandon'dly vicious, as to advance such a detestable doctrine, I wish from my soul . . . that he should be obliged to serve" as a kidnapped sailor "aboard the worst Ship of War"

YES.
If the Trump administration truly cared about the real problem of antisemitism (and not just as a ruse to bludgeon universities to curb academic freedom) how about starting by condemning the violence against PA Governor Shapiro and his family on Passover.

To quote from this morning's excellent Letters from an American, ( @hcrichardson.bsky.social ) "Once you give up the idea that we are all equal before the law and have the right to due process, you have given up the whole game."
The darkness is snapping at our heels.
Without the Rule of Law no one is “legally” here. No one.

Maybe it's me but a president having the power to call trade emergencies and fuck up the global economy on a whim seems like it shouldn't be a thing, and we should probably campaign on that not being a thing any longer.

Is this the America we want? Or will we stand up and help, in whatever way, large or small, that we can?

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Hear hear, @finallynoelle.dems.social.

How about the Presidency is trying to usurp the Power of the court, the People, everything other than its monstrous self? Save America, indeed, from this jabbering nightmare.
Unchecked power is what they're after no matter how perverse their actions are. The only reason to get rid of checks and balances is because you're about to do some real evil shit.
