The Big Ugly Bill passed by Republicans will gut Medicare starting January 1. Hospitals close, seniors lose coverage, billionaires keep their tax breaks. The cure: a blue wave that sweeps Republicans out of Congress. #RepublicanMedicareCuts
There is no better reason in the world to vote every Republican out of office than this. 👇

Republican lawmakers in Congress have subpoenaed the independent news outlet BreakThrough News, demanding its internal communications and financial records.
"They specifically mention our coverage of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and of the ICE kidnappings and killings across the country that have sparked massive uprisings," says @BTnewsroom journalist @RaniaKhalek.
"This is a flagrant attack on our First Amendment rights as an independent media outlet, and everybody should be alarmed."
I’m in LA this weekend for the California @WorkingFamilies Party Convention, where I was thrilled to meet Randy Villegas @Villegas_CA22. Randy is: (a) the Democratic candidate for Congress in CA-22, a “red-to-blue” swing seat currently represented by a Republican that we must win to take back the House, (b) an inspiring person, first in his family to go to college, then got a PhD and became a teacher, and (c) a bold progressive fighter for working families.
Please join me today in helping him win: https://t.co/PZ4c63H1Yz

John C. Reilly: “Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights? They’re human too. Elon Musk says don’t be fooled by the empathy trap. Empathy is not a trap, empathy is a superpower. It’s what makes human beings exceptional, our ability to look outside ourself”
Gov. Walz and Tom Homan met this morning. Walz’s office says he “reiterated Minnesota’s priorities: impartial investigations into the Minneapolis shootings involving federal agents, a swift, significant reduction in the number of federal forces in Minnesota, and an end to the campaign of retribution against Minnesota.
The Governor and Homan agreed on the need for an ongoing dialogue and will continue working toward those goals, which the President also agreed to yesterday. The Governor tasked the Minnesota Department of Public Safety as the primary liaison to Homan to ensure these goals are met.”
But let’s examine that. True, good & evil should be choices. But if they are not, society needs to be protected from individuals who choose evil or indeed are “determined” to commit evil. That’s the fallacy in Anthony Burgess’s highly conservative reasoning.
“All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights.”
