The Republican Big Beautiful Bill that trump signed made massive health care cuts for American families, and then gave tax benefits primarily to the top 1% and corporations.

That’s simply a fact.

November is coming.

“And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you" (Mt 6:5).

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Imagine the amount of propaganda it took to convince millions of people that healthcare, food assistance, social programs, clean water, clean air, good wages, housing, equal rights, diversity and a healthy planet for all people was somehow a threat to America and to Christianity.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Here is what I believe.

We have been separated by people who profit from our separation.

That is the business model. Keep us apart and sell us the fight.

Here is what that separation does.
People stop talking. They stop talking, so they stop knowing each other. They stop knowing each other, so they fear each other. They fear each other, so they hate each other. You break that chain at the first link, not the last.

I also believe there is one true existential threat to this democracy and his name is Donald Trump.

So I will sit down with anyone who has a platform and sees in Trump what I see.

That is why I sat down with Nick Fuentes. His views on race and women are antithetical to mine. What he has said about the Holocaust and Nazism is indefensible. He is also demonstrably persuasive and he has a bullhorn that no amount of cancellation has taken from him. A million-plus people listen to him. I wanted to hear it myself instead of reading what I am supposed to think about it.

Nick and I agree on almost nothing. We agree on Trump.

Nothing else we argue about matters if Trump is not stopped. And the people who see what he is do not all think like me. If your standard is that everyone who opposes him has to agree with you first, you have already handed him the country.

I will take one piece of common ground over ten more years of shouting across the same street.

Dear @USAmbUN Mike Waltz: You lie.

-US provided zero THAAD missiles to Ukraine.

-US provided far less Patriots to Ukraine than the massive amount used in less than 5 months of the Iran war.

Stop falsely blaming others and take responsibility for the disastrous Iran war.

More than 1 million children lost access to food benefits after Trump bill passed

Analysis finds more than 4 million Americans lost Snap benefits, or food stamps, from July 2025 to March 2026

I am deeply appalled and angry to see “Firework” used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it.

I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for.

My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare.

I'm supposed to believe the First Amendment is celebrated by our free press, and I'm also supposed to ignore that political journalists appear to be too frightened to defend their colleagues slandered in front of their faces by the sitting president at a black tie dinner.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I watched Trump’s speech at the Correspondents’ Dinner last night.
It’s hard to articulate how sad it made me.

Sad and embarrassed and exhausted.

Here is the thing about a man who is a joke. He can’t tell one.

People think humor is a talent. It isn’t. It’s a capacity. To make someone laugh you have to be able to laugh at yourself, and to laugh at yourself you have to step outside of yourself and see what everyone else sees. For one second you have to be just another person in the room.

Most people can do this by the time they are nine years old.

He has never once managed it. Not in fifty years of cameras. Not for a second.

That is not a quirk. It is a symptom. The muscle that lets you tell a joke is the same one that lets you feel what another person feels. A man who cannot survive being laughed at cannot imagine being anyone but himself. He will only ever be generous when it is photographed. He will only ever be kind when it is filmed.

There is a name for it.

So he stood up there and did what he always does. He hit down. He made jokes about people’s weight. He made jokes about their intelligence. He made jokes about how women look. He read out the names of people he doesn’t like, and mocked them. Always mocking. And when no one laughed he blamed his speech writers.

The cruelty dressed as humor has worn so thin.

And for the 30% of you still in the cult who will inevitably call me a crackhead and blame it all on my Dad, all I can say is please, for the love of God, open your eyes. Wake the fuck up. Have some dignity. Have some pride.

Joe Biden wasn’t standing at that podium last night. Donald Trump was.

And at the end of it he put on a red hat that said Trump 2028 and told the room he was running again. No one laughed because everyone knows he has no intention of leaving.

Just another joke at our expense.

[Miles Taylor @MilesTaylorUSA]

I’ve been saying this for months.

This is criminal. The Trump administration is doing it over and over.

People can go to prison for this.

Dear @Kash_Patel: When Russia wines and dines you during your traitorous visit to Russia in October, perhaps you will think of the U.S. Servicemembers wounded or killed with the assistance of Russia.

[Cameron 🇺🇸 🗽🦅 @CameronCorduroy]

reminder that Biden specifically pushed to get infrastructure projects funded in red states as a gesture of goodwill

now Trump cancels projects in blue states out of spite

these people are evil, plain and simple

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

There is a sickness in this administration. Discounting Americans killed in war—to advance Trump’s fabricated narrative about the conflict—is vile and loathsome.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism?

AOC: I mean, no. I think that’s very silly. We can’t even raise the minimum wage. Do they really think communism is going to happen? No. They’re trying to scare people because they don’t want us talking about the fact that we all have a right to health care.

So they want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, they’re going to realize they deserve better and that health care as a right isn’t crazy. They want to call this stuff communist because they don’t want us to realize that the rest of the developed world has guaranteed health care. They want to call it communist because they don’t want you to know that Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada—everybody else—has it better than us, and we spend the most money for the worst care in the developed world.

Native Americans are protesting after ICE detained 4 Oglala Sioux tribal members in Minneapolis.

The original Americans are getting treated like “illegal aliens” by masked federal agents.

“A first-of-its-kind analysis by ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% after Texas’ near-total abortion ban went into effect in September 2021. The analysis also identified at least 120 in-hospital deaths of pregnant or postpartum women in 2022 and 2023 — an increase of dozens of deaths from a comparable period before the COVID-19 pandemic.”

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

If our Christianity causes kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be unwelcome, the needy to be called "parasites," and our planet to be ravaged, all while billionaires get richer, we've misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus' teachings.
