- Sounds like Gabbard fired them for telling the truth. Not much “intelligence” going on here… www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

- It needs to be drummed out until our ears bleed. Thank you, Chris Murphy.
- Murphy: "There's no guarantee that we are gonna have a free and fair election in 2026. He's trying to rig our democracy, to destroy dissent, to cripple the opposition, so that even if his approval ratings are in the 30s next year, there isn't the ability for his opposition to muster a real campaign"
- If approved, the move would be the first time Guard troops at the national level have been asked to assist in the removal of migrants in the U.S. without legal status.
- Many stores are warning of higher prices very soon because of upcoming tariffs. DOUBLE DOWN ON MADE IN CANADA PRODUCTS AND LOCAL FARMERS MARKETS AND THRIFT STORES AND CONSIGNMENT STORES
- The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.
- Rep. Jason Smith: "And then you can look at Medicaid cuts -- Medicaid reforms, I should say." Oops.

- NEW: Facing a significant increase in the number of SpaceX launches, British officials detailed their concerns about the safety of Turks and Caicos and other Caribbean territories after debris from an earlier failed launch littered beaches and roads. By @heathervogell.bsky.social
- Believe him. And saying this in front of the troops makes this particularly un-American.
- Anyone who has worked on intelligence matters understands the importance of apolitical analysis and speaking truth to power. In firing intel officials who did just that, Gabbard proved once again that she is unfit for her position.
- I’VE OFFICIALLY FINISHED MY FIRST YEAR OF GRAD SCHOOL!!! 🥹 only 4-5 more years until i’m “dr. singh” 🚀🌌

- Duckworth: "He's accepting a bribe, which is unconstitutional and illegal. And he's gonna accept an aircraft that then is gonna cost taxpayers another billion dollars at a time when he wants to cut funding for Medicaid. It's simple unacceptable."
- Meiselas: A lot of marginalized communities see fair-weather supporters—people who are with them when it seems cool, and then abandon them when the seasons change. I think that’s bullshit. I think you’ve got to stand with people and be who you are.
- This dog politely asked for a musician's drumstick in the middle of their performance. Always excited to find a fellow stick lover. 12/10

- This is horrendous. And also purposeful. RFK Jr. wasn't put in charge of HHS to Make America Healthy Again. He was put in it to control our bodies, spread misinformation, and make our health system even worse than it is. The cruelty is the point. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
- I’ve never heard of Cassell’s Dictionary of Slang, some obscure book, until today. I’d bet money that these MAGA folks haven’t either. They will grasp at straws to stay in a perpetual state of outrage. 🙄

- Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.
- Our coalition is all tuned into the Supreme Court hearing, hoping they choose the Constitution! 🙏
- Don’t forget, Chauvin’s state crimes can’t be pardoned - and that’s the longer of the two sentences. Also don’t forget the people who support that murderer.
- Alsobrooks to RFK Jr: "You are the wrong person for this job. And you had in this hearing today the unmitigated gall to say at the beginning of your testimony that China is ahead of the United States in healthcare because China does not have DEI."

- Local radio station KSCS 96.3 A great station I really liked. It keeps playing a Homeland security infomercial. With The puppy killer talking They need to stop
- This morning, the House Energy & Commerce Committee is voting to “defund” Planned Parenthood @ppfa.org — our largest provider of reproductive health care like cancer screenings & STI tests. It won’t save a dime. It will hurt millions of patients and increase the deficit.
- Tim Scott claims RFKJ has brought healthier food to our kids. We would like to know what he is talking about. All we are aware of is the cut to school lunches that helped them buy local healthy food.

- Three of us who oversaw emoluments enforcement for three presidents, Democratic and Republican, agree: Between the Qatari plane and the UAE crypto cash, this is far over the line Here's how to stop it @nytopinion.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/o...
- RIP poet Emily Dickinson, died this day 1886. “Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all.” “If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.”
- Trump is everything the Bible warned against
- I’m so tired of the relentless evils of this death machine we’re trapped in. God help us.
- We need more dem district attorneys like this.
- Not rich, not famous, not even very healthy but I do live in a beautiful place and that's not nothing.

- I’m shocked to hear that the guy who swam in rock creek park in jeans is lying.
- Baldwin to RFK Jr: "You cannot tell us that you want to make America healthy again when you are willfully destroying programs that keep children safe and healthy from lead poisoning ... the entire staff has been fired"
- Corporate media has decided that instead of calling out the threat Trump poses to democracy, his corruption, his using government to punish critics they would talk Joe Biden from 2023 and help corporate media's Jake Tapper sell his book. This is why independent media is the key to our survival!
