14 MILLION people will lose health care to give billionaires another tax break.

That's Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill."

It’s very discouraging to watch our country slowly re-learn the lessons that led to the end of segregation, among them that people who think they’re racially superior are nearly universally incompetent fools unable to face up to their own deficiencies and putting them in charge is suicide

For 250 years, the United States has supported democracy.

Now, in the middle of a horrific war that Putin started, Trump is turning his back on Ukraine and democracy, all to the benefit of a brutal dictator in Moscow.

he thinks he’s king. he issues executive orders (royal decrees) and the entire society is expected to obey

Unless Congress acts, this administration will get what they want. You can’t just magically rebuild this infrastructure with a change in administrations. It took decades to get to where we are today, providing billions in return on investment nationally and countless lives saved.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

Today, Donald Trump and JD Vance disgraced the United States of America.

My full statement on the disastrous Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy:

I say again: any Republican in congress with an ounce of integrity would switch parties immediately. They are complicit, sadistic cowards. Every single one.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

30,000 tons of food stuck in Houston port after Trump halts foreign aid The food was purchased through a USAID program to feed hungry people overseas is stuck at a warehouse in Houston's port.

“The halt of the aid program presents a likely loss of revenue for farmers in Texas and other rural states who relied on USAID to buy crops including rice, wheat and sorghum.”

I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

State Dept. Halts Global Mine-Clearing Programs Efforts to clear unexploded munitions in places like Iraq and Southeast Asia will stop for at least three months, according to a surprise announcement.

If they were actively trying to start another pandemic, I'm not sure what they'd be doing differently.

Trump administration strips schools, churches of immigration enforcement protections The memo rescinds a Biden administration guideline that created "protected areas" consisting of places where "children gather, disaster or emergency relief sites, and social services establishments."

ICE can now raid disaster shelters including churches. Just the most sinister possible burn in hell kind of shit.

and i am sure this begins when they’re young too. they are told that they deserve every opportunity and that if they do not get it it’s because it was taken from them by someone who was necessarily less qualified

I don't where this all ends up, but I don't think a democracy in which only one of the two major parties is committed to peaceful transition of power is particularly sustainable!

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

Activism without pragmatism is just angry people yelling at clouds.
