Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.
Andrew Roth survived the Nazi concentration camp Buchenwald. Jack Moran helped liberate the camp while serving in the U.S. Army. Decades after liberation, the two met and shared their stories. https://n.pr/3ZUKlXC
This bill would kick millions off their health insurance, and thousands will even lose their lives - unless we stop it in its tracks.
Some Republicans are breaking ranks, showing it's not too late. Time to speak up!
This May 22 dinner is a high crime and misdemeanor. A president of the United States can’t use the office to enrich himself in this way, from potentially anonymous donors for whom he might do favors. This is as textbook as corruption gets.
May Day is a day where we celebrate workers.
On this day, we mobilize with unions and grassroots organizations accords the country: We stand with Immigrants, we stand with workers. We stand united.

So, which is it?
If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained.
And if it was classified, then the Trump administration lied to Congress and to the American people.
From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?
Republicans, who control both chambers of Congress and previously railed against executive overreach by Democratic presidents, have sat on the sidelines as Trump carries out controversial — and sometimes legally questionable — executive actions and orders.
What the hell just happened w/ tariffs? Trump put Mexico tariffs on hold after Sheinbaum promised to send 10K troops to crack down on fentanyl; FYI Mexican military has >400K members. Realistically, I think the bully backed down when his target wouldn’t roll over.
Let’s see what happens w/ Canada.
The Musk-rats think all public sector jobs are “low-productivity.”
Tell that to the air traffic controllers who keep a whole industry flying.
Tell that to USDA inspectors who keep our food safe.
Tell that to crime-fighting police and prosecutors.
The creepy billionaires at the inauguration live on data, and Trump’s Musk-rats just got access to huge federal data sets. Watch out for the Great Thievery to go after your data. In a battle between your privacy and their profit, who likely wins?
What this story doesn’t mention is how @marisakabas.bsky.social also organized a huge coalition of Substack users to take our newsletters to new platforms, including me — she’s a respected leader of a whole new crop of truly independent journalists!
NEW: Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.
This is spectacular writing. I've been wondering when someone would do this right. Could also read like a US State Department dispatch about a failing democratic ally.
Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...
NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.
I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x
Musk's cronies tried to to gain access to classified USAID data. USAID Director of Security John Voorhees security said no. The Musk people threatened to call in the US Marshals and take the data at gunpoint. They still said no.

Fear, anger and confusion have overwhelmed government workers as they grapple with a deluge of orders from President Trump that they see as an effort to “scare” them out of their jobs. nbcnews.to/40GQE0q
RFK Jr.'s statements at Wednesday's confirmation hearing bore little resemblance to the years of documented stances he took on vaccines. The dissonance did little to blunt the excitement in the anti-vaccine movement.
RFK Jr., President Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, stumbled multiple times during his first Senate confirmation hearing Wednesday when lawmakers pressed him about potential changes to Medicaid.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
