Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

I'll say directly what all media outlets should be screaming: The president of the United States posted a video showing himself dumping poop on Americans.

But the wildly successful "No Kings" protests proved he's not shit.

My column on our disgraceful president:

Some news outlets played coy, calling it “brown liquid” or “sewage.” But let’s call it like it is, because it matters that the holder of an office that once required a bit of dignity thinks dropping shit on the heads of the people he’s supposed to represent is funny.

Now I wake up at 4 am too, but it’s not because of Jake brakes or train whistles. It’s the authoritarianism that wakes me so early — the constant hum of fascism creeping in. The loud sound of oligarchy.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

💯! But this time I don’t see China coming back to buy US soybeans and JD and his cadre of billionaire bros are salivating to scoop up that land. Biden sold $12.6B to China last year, 0 this year. FAFO as they say
FAFO as the say
0 this year w/🍊💩.

He already got $300M in his big ugly bill for all his golf excursions. MAGAts are just fine with that. President Biden spent $22M on vacations during his entire 4 year term. But

Anytime you ask “why did the Times cover it this way?” or whatever corporate media it is, remember that influential moderates are the tool of the wealth class and are there to normalize whatever the wealthy want and create doubt regarding reform and change.

Watch how the media reports yesterday’s march.

Outlets that don’t report it, or dramatically downplay it are showing you precisely who they are.

When it matters.
