@alsobrooks.senate.gov to RFK JR: “You have been unable to answer specific questions. You are the wrong person for this job… and you just had the unmitigated gall to say China is ahead of 🇺🇸 in health care because they don’t have DEI.”

Am I the last to know? The Qatar jet offered to Trump turns out to be an item unsuccessfully for sale since 2020. The "gift" is not only a Trump grift, but also an attempted scam on the US taxpayer, who will assume costs the owners no longer wish to pay.

Qatari Royal Family Selling Boeing 747-8 Private Jet
The Qatari royal family is selling a Boeing 747-8 business jet. Here's what we know about the sale of this epic plane.
McGovern: You guys make Marie Antoinette look down to earth. Trump’s cabinet is like an episode of the lifestyles of the rich and famous. These people are totally clueless. They don’t shop for their own groceries. They don’t buy their own food.
Raising the debt limit $4 Trillion to give rich people tax cuts as they slash Medicaid and research to help babies with heart defects.

This is not a drill. We need to fight back.

WATCH:
@aoc.bsky.social explains how the Republican bill will:
- Gut Medicaid
- Increase premiums for private health insurance
- Force rural hospitals to close
All to give a giant tax handout to billionaires.
"It's arson, and Republicans are the arsonists." No one can talk about the threats to her Medicaid benefits better than Carla.
Republicans refuse to let her speak. Thank you, Rep. Marc Veasey, for giving her a voice.

Since NYT Headline Discourse is a top 3 BlueSky activity, we should note this is a good headline.
It’s pretty fucked up that Trump knows he can lie and take bribes because he knows the press won’t use the words “lie” or “bribes.”

The Qatari PLANE is PLAIN corruption.
I get that he is bound by judicial ethics here, but it’s hard to take the civics argument seriously from the author of Trump v. United States.

@davidhogg.bsky.social calls out the obviously corrupt incentive structure of private prisons making huge profits off detaining migrants as they fund (Republican) politicians… which @repmikelawler impotently tries to defend.

Martin Diaz came to the U.S. as a toddler, fleeing cartel violence with his family. They had proof of the danger—a letter from a Michoacán official. He married a U.S. citizen & was advancing his visa.
Then ICE showed up at his home in Spokane: no warrant, no ID

Trump’s latest budget proposal includes nearly $500 million in cuts to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which is the main federal agency tasked with safeguarding U.S. elections from hacking.

We are not under invasion.
There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights.
Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.
Stephen Miller: "The writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion. So I would say that's an option we're actively looking at."
If you have to wear a mask to “uphold the law” you are on the wrong side.
While there are legitimate reasons for law enforcement to hide their identities-this isn’t it.
In cases where they refuse to identify people are likely to call it kidnapping and react as such.
If you’re not alarmed yet you’re not paying attention
Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

The rot of corruption is eroding our democracy before our eyes.
Powell: "If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they are likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment."
Ben Meiselas at Milken Institute: They want to hear: Why are you bullying a marginalized community? Why are you punching down at human beings? We are the United States of America—why are you treating people like this?

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: "The President of the United States really does seem hellbent on intentionally destroying the U.S. economy. And even after everything we have seen, there are still some folks—in fact some very powerful, wealthy people—who have not really come to terms with this."
BREAKING NEWS: Every Republican Senator just signed off on the DOGE destruction of Social Security!
Frank Bisignano has spent the last few months helping Donald Trump and Elon Musk take a chainsaw to Social Security.
Shame on these Senators for being complicit in the attacks on Social Security.
Reporter: I was watching your face during the meeting.. what was going through your mind when the President talked about erasing the border..
Carney: I’m glad that you couldn’t tell what was going through my mind

Sending love and support to our transgender service members. Thank you for your continued desire to serve and protect this country. I’m so sorry this pathetic draft dodger has any say in who can defend our country and the Constitution since he has no intention of doing either. 🤍🏳️⚧️
I am not often quoted in
@nytimes.com DealBook, but I hope the business community is listening.
Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented.
His argument fails even on its own terms.
Louder for the voters in the back!
The media can’t agree on whether Trump’s first 100 days were “f**king sick” or “F**KING SICK! 🤘”
Y’all watching
@60minutes.bsky.social? The whole Trump law firm extortion scheme is being explored as well as the split among law firms - those fighting and those who “made a deal.”
@marcelias.bsky.social is laying it out.
Trump's new Meet the Press interview was just the latest illustration that dude's brain is gone
Trump's brain is gone
It really should be a bigger story.
This is how you beat Trump! You tell him, and everyone that sucks up to him, NO!
No one ever tells him NO! He doesn't know how to handle it! If everyone starts saying NO it will freak him out and he will melt down, in public! He has NO power! His EO'S are illegal! Strip his power!
When famously squaring off with President Donald Trump over education funding, Mills said she would see Trump in court. She did just that, and on Friday she won a settlement for her state, for the kids and for people everywhere who needed to see a certain asshole bully get punched right in the eye.
Janet Mills beats Trump and lets him hear about it
Remember the Governor of Maine.
Trump just said "I don't know" when he was asked on Meet the Press if he's required to uphold the Constitution.
He’s delusional. Yes he’s misinformed. Yes, he’s not displaying signs of high intelligence. But on top of that, this is delusional thinking. Magical thinking.
Q: "Are you considering tariff relief for small businesses?"
Trump: "Why do you always mention, you know, a couple of little businesses. What about the car business?"
Remember when Maine’s Governor Janet Mills told Trump she’d “see him in court”?
Well, she did.
