NEW: It's come to our attention that Apple is restricting our normally free Daily Beans podcast to "subscriber only". We're working to get that fixed. WTH, Tim Apple?
We'll let you know when it's fixed!

Americans want us to focus on real issues like lowering the cost of living and expanding access to healthcare, but what do Republicans have us doing today?
Wasting time on a ridiculous bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico.

That’s the flag raising on Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima. It happened in February 1945. It has nothing to do with victory in Europe.

On April 24, ICE agents broke into a home of a family of US citizens in Oklahoma. The family repeatedly said we are citizens, you have the wrong people. ICE terrorized the family, ripped apart the house.
It's not "other people" that this is happening to. It's us. Open your eyes. Wake the hell up.

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago.
It also received $22M in federal aid.
While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.
70% of these donations went to Republicans.
Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

Pete Buttigieg calls out the GOP’s plan to slash Medicaid and gut the VA: “They don’t have an answer. Their answer is: burn it all down.”
Yes, there are problems. But cutting care for poor people and Veterans isn’t a fix—it’s a failure.
“We can do better than that.”

The “but her emails” crowd are now cheering on drunken rapist idiot Pete Hegseth for sending out classified military intel on Signal Chat not once but twice and not just to a reporter but to his wife and brother. He should be in jail, not running the Pentagon.
