Hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. and around the world rallied Thursday in May Day protests that united many in anger over President Donald Trump’s agenda from aggressive tariffs that are stoking fears of global economic turmoil to his administration’s immigration crackdowns.
In the United States, organizers framed this year’s International Workers’ Day protests as a pushback against what they see as the administration’s sweeping assault on labor protections, diversity initiatives and federal employees. Protesters lined streets in many cities from New York to Philadelphia to Los Angeles and held a boisterous rally outside the White House in Washington.

Alternet: ‘Cruelty’: Johnson buried for using ‘classist stereotype’ to justify GOP’s Medicaid cuts
US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson sets new low records for ignorance and condescension in his analysis of the top source of Medicaid fraud:
Johnson blamed what he suggested is a large number of male gamers on Medicaid for “draining resources.”
“So if you clean that up and shore it up, you save a lot of money, and you return the dignity of work to young men who need to be out working instead of playing video games all day,” he again declared.
40% of Speaker Johnson’s constituents rely on Medicaid for their health insurances. That’s an awful lot of male gamers draining resources by playing video games all day instead of being out working.
More likely Speaker Johnson, like so many of King Donald’s sycophants, is simply out of touch with reality and needs to move on after his clock is cleaned in the 2026 mid-terms.
