- A decades-long effort at Cornell University to build a medical device to save the lives of babies with heart conditions was thrown on the trash heap by the Trump regime. There's a death toll attached to the recklessness of Trump and Musk.
- Russia is no friend. “German police detained three men suspected of planning to mail packages laden with explosives in a Russian-sponsored act of sabotage reminiscent of recent attacks on DHL logistics hubs, prosecutors said Wednesday.”

- GOP’s Big Beautiful Bill slashes $880B from Medicaid, kills EV credits, creates MAGA savings accounts for kids, adds $4.9T to the deficit. Big win for the rich, big loss for healthcare and climate. This is outrageous and must be stopped. #NoMedicaidCuts #MomSky fortune.com/2025/05/13/r...
- Katy Tur just asked Chuck Schumer thought Qatar would put a listening device on the plane it plans on gifting to Trump. The fact that this conversation is even taking place on TV, social media, or in kitchens and living rooms across the nation tells you how far this country has fallen.
- Yes, Jared got the first taste with 666fifth ave 11th hour Qatar funding save. What did Qatar get? Blockade lift. Allegedly 😜
- 2017 Trump: “Qatar has been funding terrorism at a very high level.” 2025 Trump: *takes a $400 Million flying palace from them* Looks like they got the memo. 🤷🏼♂️ #SwampForceOne ✈️
- They're not only incredibly ignorant they're smug about it! I guess when you get all your news from right wing propaganda sites your reality is a manipulation of the truth 🤨👇🏼
- It seems the junior Senator from Missouri is employing a Nazi in his office. I called his DC office and they said that it is “against policy” to state whether someone is employed with my taxpayer money to work for my junior Senator. Good to know… www.liberalcurrents.com/missouri-sen...
- I'm increasingly struggling with the fact that right wing members of Congress keep going to a concentration camp run by their favorite dictator, as if it's some kind of amusement park or sex club, and there's almost no backlash.
- Those who spent the last 5 years howling about Hunter Biden being on the board of a Ukrainian company on the grounds that he would not have been granted that position if Ukraine did not want to influence Joe Biden now say they believe the Qataris just want Trump to have nice things for no reason
- [Not loaded yet]
- The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?
- Law enforcement lying like they belong in the IDF.
- This is the bodycam DHS claims shows an ICE officer body slammed to the ground by a member of Congress. If you can see any officer body slammed please give me the time stamp for it, because I cannot. youtu.be/6FxFtrpozqM?...
- The Klan and ICE agents both were masks—and they do so for the same reason. Neither wants to be identified. The difference is ICE is part of the U.S. government. But instead, ICE is acting like Trump’s “secret police.” My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/ice-agents...

View full threadNEW: Utter fury from Rep. Robert Menendez directed at ICE: “They feel no weight of the law & no restraint. That was shown in broad daylight when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress. HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE? TO ANYONE IN THIS COUNTRY.” 🔥
- This is CRUCIAL legal context for the assault by ICE on Members of Congress today. ICE has NO LEGAL AUTHORITY to prevent members of Congress visiting facilities to exercise oversight. There’s isn’t even a requirement to give prior notice of a visit. (H/T Aaron Reichlin-Melnick on X) 👇
- HAPPENING NOW: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was just taken into custody while protesting outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center
- NEW — I’ve obtained audio of new acting FEMA head David Richardson threatening staff in an all hands meeting this morning. As first reported by Reuters, he told those who resisted change in the agency, “Don’t get in my way…I will run right over you.” Listen to the clip here:

- Trump supporters who refused to call Trump a convicted felon after the verdict but before sentencing are fine with calling Abrego Garcia a criminal and he’s never even been to trial.
- NEW: Minnesota’s graduation rate just reached the highest level on record. Two years ago, we made the single-largest investment in public schools in state history. Today, we’re seeing the results.

- Orlando City Commissioner Tony Ortiz just switched from Republican to Democratic. “The Republican Party is not the party I signed up with... The marginalization of Latinos and immigrants—many of whom have helped build this country—is not leadership. It’s fear-based politics.”
- Since cis het men who are natural born US citizens commit the most crimes, I think they should have markers on their IDs, restricted state to state travel, higher insurance and tax rates, separate restrooms, and state sanctioned vasectomies at 14 because they cause 100% of unwanted pregnancies.
- You left out restricted access to firearms, inability to serve in the military, and restricted access to government and government sponsored health and human services. (50 yo, natural born cis het guy, just in case anyone was wondering)
- I ran out of space. Haha

- FOX NEWS: Some Catholics were not so happy about the image of you looking like the Pope TRUMP: You mean they can't take a joke? You don't mean the Catholics, you mean the fake news media. The Catholics loved it. I had nothing to do with it. Maybe it was AI.

- Oh wow. Note: This response (below, which is real) to Trump’s tweet depicting himself as pope is from the New York State Catholic Bishops, who represent the collective bishops of the state. Among them is Cardinal Dolan of NYC, who Trump appointed to his new religious liberty commission this week.
