If Trump actually cared about our military, he could take that $45 million to improve our VA Hospitals and repay the heroes who served our country with honor. Instead, he's using our military as props to celebrate his birthday.

Good synopsis of the GOP's budget plan.

There’s a lot going on with Trump and Republicans' “Big Beautiful Bill,” and it’s all bad. 16 MILLION losing health care. 4.3 MILLION losing food assistance. And 3 TRILLION added to our national debt. All for billionaires and billionaire corporations to get even richer.

Hey TACO… two weeks and one day now? Surely you aren’t chickening out right? SURELY!!!

Barabak: Trump could help feed hungry people. Instead he's throwing a vanity parade

It's official: The White House wants to cut funding for the 988 LGBTQ+ suicide and crisis hotline for kids. Make no mistake: this cruelty could cost young lives. We need to keep fighting back.

Read every word. “But there’s no sidestepping a president deploying the military in an American city based on ludicrous falsehoods about a foreign invasion. Indeed, it’s hard to think of a clearer signpost on the road to dictatorship.”

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

The “states’ rights,” “don’t tread on me,” “fight tyranny” crowd is now cheering on authoritarian power grabs—from a guy who can’t even walk up a flight of stairs. If you care about the Constitution, you should care no matter who is in office.

The world’s richest people have taken over this government, and they’re going after the country’s and world’s poorest children. www.cbsnews.com/news/white-h...

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today. I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children. Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

⬇️⬇️⬇️ Trump in 2020: “We can’t call in the National Guard unless we’re requested by a governor.” Trump in 2025: Sends in the National Guard over a governor’s clear objections. He knows the law—and he’s sidestepping it.

New Jersey voters go to the polls today to select their nominees for governor. It is critical the Democrats win both the New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial races in November. At this point, the New Jersey race is ranked LEAN DEMOCRAT by Cook Political Report. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

The way President Trump is wielding his authority to deploy National Guard troops in Los Angeles is unprecedented and untested.

Reminder: This is what an insurrection looks like.

Wow. "For Kay Voss, the cuts would be catastrophic at her Stratton Country Market in southwest Nebraska. She estimates 40% of sales are paid for with SNAP."

Rep. Gomez: LA County alone is 34% foreign born, 34%. So when he says they're going to liberate us, who is he going to liberate us from? Ourselves?

Donald Trump incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol. Hundreds of dangerous felons who brutally beat police officers with impunity were then pardoned by the President on his first day in office. Don’t ever lecture America about law and order.

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

29,947 people in SW Ohio will lose their healthcare if this budget passes. Hospitals will close. People will die. Kill the bill. Save Ohioans. Save Americans. www.cincinnati.com/story/opinio...

That's the thing about these tech surveillance companies--there's no problem they don't see themselves as a solution to. The problem is, when on you have ones that are court favorites, the money flows to them from every aspect of governance.

America has never needed an effective opposition party as badly as it needs one now; instead we have the most feckless Democratic leaders of the past 100 years. https://trib.al/qGVZwb7

“The moment had finally come, and it was every bit as lowdown, vindictive, personal, petty, operatic, childish, consequential, messy and public as many had always expected it would be. “The clash of the titans was upon us, and the gloves were off.”

While America’s front doors are closing to China, back doors are opening in the form of personal payoffs to Trump that result in alternative routes for America’s advanced technology to reach China. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/while-americas-front-doors-are-closing

A Texas cop used 83,000+ license plate readers to hunt down a woman… for having an abortion. Legal in many states. Still hunted. This isn’t about safety—it’s about control. Welcome to reproductive surveillance in 2025. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky #ObSky #NurseSky

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky
