1. Terrifying news for transgender people across the United States. In a late night development, the House Spending Bill was amended to ban transgender coverage for transgender ADULTS on medicaid!A manager's amendment removed the words "for minors."Subscribe to support my journalism.
I am certain that we will not hear about deficits and debt ever again from Republicans who are about to vote for a bill that adds more debt to a country’s balance sheet than any piece of legislation in the history of the human race.
In the days of yore, this would end a political career. A DNI firing intel officials who reported something in contrast to a president trying to abuse emergency powers. We're the frogs and the water is at a rolling boil, folks.
The Statue of Liberty was a gift to the United States, not an individual. That’s why it is now a public monument and not sitting in Grover Cleveland’s presidential library (not sure if he even has one)
Among the victims of the Jabalia massacre were a group of orphaned children.They had gathered to receive financial aid from a charity when they were targeted.All the orphans were martyred, along with the charity’s staff, now raising their complaint of betrayal to their Creator.
Seems to me that if there’s a senile guy doing nothing in particular the usual way and a senile guy setting everything on fire, the fire guy is the one who should be the focus of media inquiry
This can’t be true because Trump already declared victory over the Houthis & said he wiped them out already after a month of missile attacks that cost us 6 Reaper drones and 2 fighter jets, and the handful of remaining Houthis have surrendered because they are afraid of him.
When that second intelligence memo came out that said Tren de Aragua was not a proxy for the Venezuelan government, I was certain someone was going to lose their job. Sure enough.
Let me get this straight. While this Admin is pushing to take $6 a day away from hungry kids on SNAP to root out "wasteful spending” they see no issue spending over a billion of your hard-earned tax dollars to replace Air Force One with a Qatari jet (the President got for free)??
The science is clear, there is no single, physiological or biological marker that allows for the simple categorisation of people as male or female.This means that you can’t use chromosomes alone, you can’t use genitalia, you can’t use testosterone levels to divide people into male or female.
They're going to profile anyone gender nonconforming to push them out of the military. Too feminine as a man? You're out. Too butch as a woman? You're out. This will be a de facto ban on queer people as well.
Among those transgender service members that Hegseth is kicking out is Commander Emily Shilling, who has served in the Navy for almost two decades. A naval aviator with over 60 combat missions under her belt, she is the lead plaintiff suing the administration to overturn the ban. Shilling told Women Rule that it’s her duty not only to follow lawful orders but to challenge those she believes to be unlawful.
She has proved that Transgender people are no different to anyone else that serves and in many cases their service is over the top.
Hegseth a National Guard weekend warrior and Trump the draft dodger are not good enough to lick the boots of the commander. I say this as a retired US army disabled vet. I hope the two of them die in their travels and the world and country would be better off.
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.
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. 🤍🏳️⚧️
You know, many of the grievances against King George III that Thomas Jefferson and others listed in the Declaration of Independence seem to apply to Trump:
–>He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. –>He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. –>He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. –>He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. –>For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world –>For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent –>For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury –>For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences –>For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments.
Art of the deal is raising the tariff to 145% then cutting it almost in half despite the fact that China has made no concessions and has completely ignored you. Xi just sits back at laughs at our orange clown.
You voted for a clown sleep farting through his court case. A convicted felon and lifelong rapist. The swamp incarnate. A narcissist and fraud willing to do anything to enrich himself.
Voting for Harris/Walz was clearly better considering your kids’ student debt and husband’s job situation.
Nancy Mace is such an imbicile. All gender is men and women. Any gender can use the bathroom. I have all gender bathrooms in my house. So does Nancy Mace.
Conservatives are unabashed losers.
Posting a POS by a bathroom door is very meta.
Nancy Mace is trying to make a career out of manipulated outrage and cringe morals.
To be clear, nothing – NOTHING – Joe Biden said 4 years, including his debate meltdown, comes anywhere close to the insanity, unreality, unhingeness, of Trump repeatedly insisting – even when the interviewer is letting his crazy lie pass – that it was a real image of his knuckles
This reporter’s front yard was ripped apart for having a Black Lives Matter sign. Then he started investigating. On this week's More To The Story, NBC News reporter @mikehixenbaugh.com talks to our friends at @revealnews.org about how that incident led him directly to America’s public schools.
every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease
The Attorney General of the United States gushing on camera that the President has saved two-thirds of the entire population of America from dying of a fentanyl overdose was a gut-churning lurch towards the absurd flattery lavished on personality-cult dictators by fawning subordinates.
“'They were shouting at me, threatening to rape me, chanting ‘death to Arabs.’ I thought the police would protect me from the mob, but they did nothing to intervene,' she said."
DOOCY: Would you ever arrest a federal judge or even a Supreme Court justice?LEAVITT: I'd refer you to the DOJ for individuals they are looking at … anyone who is breaking the law or obstructing federal law enforcement officials is putting themselves at risk of being prosecuted, absolutely
In the last few days, the president fell asleep at the pope’s funeral, said he wasn’t making decisions in the White House and fell for an obvious photoshop.Cool. Cool cool cool.
There's not a single crime in the history of the UK that would have been prevented by a bathroom bill. Not oneBathroom bills aren't about safety, they're about trying to exclude LGBT people from public life. That's it
I'm old enough to remember when pro-life GOPers would accuse working class women of having babies just to get government money. Anyone remember that, or am I nuts?
i have somewhat jokingly come around to the idea that the acceptance of transness is a kind of sociological great filter. either society emerges out of it having abolished [the policing of] sex or it just collapses and leaves its people in a state of eternal paranoia and mass panic
His former deputy who was just fired gave an interview this week with Megyn Kelly where he said Hegseth spends 50% of his time obsessing over his press and doing Fox interviews while neglecting his most important work.Hegseth this morning:
💥 BREAKING: The Heritage Foundation withdrew its anti-DEI proposal to IBM for shareholder vote today, originally submitted for vote at IBM's annual meeting. Why Heritage withdrew its anti-DEI proposal is unknown.Earlier today, shareholders at American Express voted to reject an anti-DEI proposal.
Super-PACs can accept unlimited donations from easy to obscure sources.And, rather notably, the funding for Trump’s attack on ActBlue seems to have come from just such a source: a super-PAC bankrolled by Elon Musk.
He is just completely disconnected from the reality of how his policies impact average Americans, and he is surrounded my sycophants 24/7 who tell him that he’s the greatest, everything is perfect, and everyone loves him. He lives in a fantasy world.
Ask yourself: If the President so easily falls for photoshopped pictures he sees on Truth Social, what other complete falsehoods is he relying on when he makes decisions? How else is he being manipulated?That wasn’t funny. It was scary.
None of the official ABC tweets or clips from the Trump interview tonight feature the most important clip of all: a demented Trump repeatedly and falsely claiming, and seeming bizarrely to believe, that Albrego Garcia literally had the letters and numbers MS13 on his knuckles.

LGBTQ+ Americans can be discriminated against because of who they are and who they love.Unacceptable.I’m proud to join in reintroducing the Equality Act. LGBTQ+ Americans must be protected under federal civil rights laws. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
As a party, we are prisoners being held hostage by people who simply refuse to accept that their time has passed and won’t accept that others more capable right now. Stay in the Senate, but step down from leadership. It’s time for a new approach, a new face, & a new voice.
