TODAY: Trump’s budget guy @russvought lies 🤥 that nobody will lose Medicaid after these deep cuts, and claims Trump’s agenda is not Project 2025 — which he wrote. (He also downplays the sickening Ernst “We’re all gonna die” quote and calls her constituents “astroturfed”)

Yes, God help us all.

Symbolically, on this day 29 years ago — 1 June 1996 — Ukraine handed over its last nuclear weapon to russia under the Budapest Memorandum. In return, russia pledged to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and borders. Russia got the nukes. Ukraine got “security guarantees." Remember?

@GottaLaff

Yes, America, things can get worse. It can, and ALWAYS does, get worse with Trump.

So the logical follow-on is that women can't be allowed to travel outside their home state.

At least, not between about 12 and 55.

2027 would be my guess.

Remember, "The Handmaid's Tale" is an instruction manual, not a dystopian warning.

HOLD UP. Are you telling us that the President of the United States is refusing regular briefings about threats to the country so his minions are creating a briefing TV show just for him? WHAT THE HELL?

“Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned🚨KIDNAPPING. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community.

Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware.”

Interestingly both the President of the United States and I have the same amount of authority to fire the head of the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery, and I have decided to rescind this firing.

THIS IS HORRIFIC:

"a sheriff’s office in Texas searched data from more than 83,000 automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras to track down a woman suspected of self-managing an abortion. The officer searched 6,809 different camera networks maintained by surveillance tech company Flock Safety, including states where abortion access is protected by law, such as Washington and Illinois. The search record listed the reason plainly: 'had an abortion, search for female.'"
