I'm very glad Rep. Kean was able to take time off of work and get treatment for his depression. Rep. Kean also voted for the OBBB, which will kick Americans who need to take a month from work to seek mental health treatment off of Medicaid because they're "able-bodied adults".

The ban is heinous for what it does to transgender athletes. But if you think cisgender girls and young women won’t be caught up in the fallout, too, you are woefully ignorant

One year ago today, a shooter targeting Minnesota Democratic lawmakers assassinated Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman in her home in Brooklyn Park. The assassin also shot and killed her husband, Mark, and the family’s beloved dog, Gilbert.

Adriana Smith did not give birth to a baby.
She was used as an incubator, cut open, and a baby was taken out of her lifeless body.

FOR EVERYONE…who’s trying to create a scandal about when Biden was diagnosed… like it’s one of the biggest betrayals ever perpetrated.
Question: Did you have the same conspiratorial venom when we learned, after the fact, that Reagan had Alzheimer’s?

🧵 A tiny baby. Not breathing. The desperate mom pulls into a shuttered ER. Nurses—off duty, protesting the closure—rush to save her child.
THIS is the future the GOP is pushing: Medicaid gutted so millionaires have tax cuts. Closed hospitals.
Dead children.
And they do. not. care.

🧵I know what the Trump administration is doing to the country because they’ve already done it to rural America.
They stripped public schools of funding. They closed our hospitals. They sold family farms for parts. They let our infrastructure rot. And then they gerrymandered us to keep us quiet.

Dropkick Murphys just had an epic moment at their show:
They made a friendly wager with a fan in a MAGA shirt—“Let’s see where it’s made.”
Then they checked his MAGA shirt tag…
Made in Nicaragua.
They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee.
Legendary.

I’m sorry, but repeating this framing without skepticism is collaborating with your source to mislead your readers. They have been working on humiliating Zelensky and catering to Putin since long before the inauguration. Nothing about this is a response; it’s the plan of an abuser and a charlatan.
🚨The Trump administration is considering ending all ongoing shipments of military aid to Ukraine in response to Zelensky’s remarks in the Oval Office on Friday and his perceived intransigence in the peace process, per senior administration official

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths
