Educators and public service workers planned their futures around loan forgiveness. Now, sudden rule changes mean higher costs and more uncertainty for over 88,000 borrowers. Donald Trump is moving the goalposts on people who did everything right. www.thestreet.com/personal-fin...

The Maah Daah Hey Trail in North Dakota’s Badlands is one of the most celebrated hiking and biking routes in America. 144 miles of singletrack winding through some of the most remote and stunning landscape in the country. The Trump administration is putting it on the chopping block.
Mass murderers, holocaust-scale mass murderers, except it was a handful of almost teenage tech bros impersonally crossing out budget items.
In total, Lancet researchers found USAID prevented more than 91 million deaths over those two decades—including 30 million children under five.
The effective federal corporate income tax rate:
1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%
Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.
That is how we will pay for it.

You know I knew that Door Dash woman looked familiar
About 3.5 million people are getting ~$1,400 back from the tax deduction for tipped income. Twice as many are losing their entire health insurance coverage through the same bill.
You know what would also help her afford her husband's cancer treatments? UNIVERSAL FUCKING HEALTH CARE JESUS FUCKING CHRIST HOW IS THIS GODDAMN COUNTRY STILL LIKE THIS MAYBE GRANDMA SHOULDN"T HAVE TO DELIVER FOOD LIKE A TEENAGER IF WE HAD A DECENT FUCKING SOCIETY!!!!!!!!!!
The Last Supper.

Today, I received a notification of another death in ICE custody. That’s 47 deaths during Trump’s second term.
We must stand up and demand real accountability — ICE has a duty to provide care to those in their custody.
WE HAVE A CALIFORNIA PRIMARY PROBLEM
Attention California voters and friends. Watch this, share it.
Folks need to understand how our jungle primary can screw us if we’re not paying attention.
There’s no separate Dem vs. Republican primary. It’s one pool, top two advance, period.

If you think Trump depicting himself as Jesus is blasphemous, wait until you hear how he cut food assistance and healthcare to poor children.
Yes, should be noted that when Vance joins Kushner and Witkoff he is not joining a team of negotiators but a pair of war profiteers.
Black text on white background: If corporations allow you to sign up with one click, you should be able to cancel with one click too. Subscription traps, whether from an app or gym membership, are just another way corporations take advantage of working people. We've already put hundreds of companies on notice. This week, we proposed a rule that would make NYC a national leader in cracking down on abusive practices that nickel-and-dime New Yorkers.
I greatly appreciate Zeteo.com following up on the Gestapo ICE / CBP invasion here in Minnesota. They’re a bit quieter (sneakier) now but they haven’t stopped!
Abolish these thug agencies and prosecute their illegal activities to the fullest. No mercy.
(and thanks Zeteo)
The VA lost about 700 social workers and 500 psychologists and psychiatrists over the course of 2025 — a significant change for an agency that was adding mental health staffers nearly every month leading up to Trump’s return to office.
People hear "judge" and they assume judicial independence. But the Trump administration has hacked away at immigration judges independence to the point that they can expect to be fired if they don't do the Trump administration's bidding. And the Supreme Court has blessed this loss of autonomy.
Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that.
Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best.
Welcome home, Integrity crew!
Dr. Dan Edney, Mississippi’s State Health Officer, is no longer a candidate to lead the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
He faced opposition from allies of U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for his strong support for vaccines and medical science.

Deeply weird, deeply offensive, deeply Establishment Clause violation.
We are so far through the looking glass ....
North Korea got nothing on this regime for over-the-top propaganda. Now with Christian Nationalism!
I can't believe I am being taxed to pay for this crap.

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.
“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears.
"She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.”
“'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..."

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.
Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today.
