Stand For Something

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announces free universal healthcare for 130 million citizens starting next year.

As a Nurse Practitioner, I've sat with patients during some of the hardest moments of their lives. I've watched people skip medication because they couldn't afford it. I've seen what happens when healthcare is treated as a privilege instead of a right. That ends when Ohio's 10th has a representative who knows what's actually at stake.

@historigins @amidthetumult Spot a pattern?

In 1998, the United States achieved its first federal budget surplus in 29 years, effectively ending a streak of deficits that had lasted since 1969. ⁠ ⁠ This milestone was achieved under President Bill Clinton, following the passage of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, which resulted in a fiscal surplus of approximately $69 billion for that year.⁠ ⁠

George HW Bush paved the way for this by approving a modest tax increase. Because of that, the @GroverNorquist wing of the GOP destroyed him and instead paved the way for the irresponsible debt we have now.

Absolute bombshell. Mayor Mamdani defies the establishment by rolling out a staggering 100,000 universal childcare offers across NYC. He confirms the city is aggressively expanding early education to toddlers. The administration is actively saving families thousands.

@RichardAngwin Superglue-covered anvil.

Memorial Day question: what would you throw to him ??

Almost seven years clean and sober. Not a victory lap. Just a fact. To anyone in the fight right now: it gets quieter. Not easier. Quieter. In the quiet, you find out who you actually are. That’s the part they can’t take from you.

🚨🚨The Trump Crime Family is more corrupt than the totality of All Previous Organized Crime Families Combined in the history of the United States. ——————————————— I spent thirty (30 years investigating Major Organized Crime Families & Gangs and without a doubt, Donald Trump has committed more crimes against the United States of America and its citizens than all Organized Crime Syndicates. TRUMP is directly responsible for the theft of billions of dollars and the systematic destruction of our economy, the rule of law and our democracy. TRUMP must be Impeached and Removed from office by the U.S. Congress this year. Both Democrats & Republicans must join together to save our nation.

Honeybees pollinate roughly $150 billion worth of crops annually. About 1.6 million colonies died across the U.S. between June 2024 and March 2025. The administration's response? Close the lab that diagnosed the cause. This is not efficiency. It is willful abdication of the government's stewardship obligation to American agriculture.

Henceforth, Kegsbreath and tRump should be referred to as *'Baghdad Pete'* & *'Baghdad Don'*. Thank you for your attention to this matter (lol).

Barney Frank was one of a kind. For more than three decades in Congress, he fought tirelessly for the people of Massachusetts, helped make housing more affordable, stood up for the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans, and helped pass one of the most sweeping financial reforms in history designed to protect consumers and prevent another financial crisis. Barney’s passion and wit were second to none, and our thoughts are with his family today.
