He #MAGA , why weren't you outraged when your orange cult leader refused to call the National Guard during the Jan 6th attack on the U.S. capital?? Thousands of radical domestic terrorists trying to overthrow the government, not a peep out of you. #hypocrisy at it's best

Republicans snuck a line into their "big beautiful billā€ that could CLOSE nearly 200 Planned Parenthood locations. And guess what? 90% of those centers would be in states where abortion is LEGAL. It’s one step closer to banning abortion nationwide.

Big news this week out of #FL! Change is coming with @davidjolly.bsky.social #FLGov

The Trump administration’s disturbing pattern of arresting and detaining American citizens for exercising their right to free speech and protest is not only sickening—it’s a blatant abuse of power and a stain on our democracy. David HuertaĀ should be released immediately.

"Trump adviser Peter Navarro had said he wanted to secure '90 deals in 90 days.' But nearly 60 days later, Trump has secured only one — a vaguely phrased framework with Britain that still hasn’t been made public..." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

Let's get back to the facts about this "Big Beautiful Bill." Here's an image for MAGA to understand without having to read.

An immigration judge on Thursday granted bond to a Massachusetts high school student who was arrested on his way to volleyball practice last weekend.

The analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office also found that the version of the bill passed by the House last month would lead to nearly 11 million people going uninsured.

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

Last night, 24-year-old Keishan Scott defeated his Republican opponent by 41 points in South Carolina’s 50th State House district—a massive overperformance. He’s now set to become one of the youngest Democratic state legislators in the country.

Calls to ā€œFree Marceloā€ are echoing beyond the high school campus of a Massachusetts town where a standout student was arrested by ICE over the weekend.

Rubio is a jellyfish with no spine and absolutely NO bravery. He shouldn’t even be allowed to speak the names of people who actually stood up to bullies and an authoritarian regime.

The Boulder attack suspect's wife and five children were taken into ICE custody, according to reports.

Trump's Big Bill: -Expands his power to ignore court rulings -Gives the ultra-wealthy an even bigger estate tax break -Disqualifies nearly 2M children from the child tax credit -Adds unnecessary red tape that would kick millions of people off Medicaid It's a big, ugly mess.

Peyton Manning is the latest athlete to join the world of women's soccer, announcing that he's bought a stake in Denver's expansion team.

Trump and Republicans want to talk fraud? Fine. The fraud we actually see in healthcare doesn't come from working families, it comes from the top Case in point: Trump just pardoned a nursing home executive who skimmed $10M from the paychecks of his employees.

The GOP Tax Scam is a disgusting abomination. Truer words have never been spoken.

Steve Witkoff must testify before Congress Is there a secret side-deal that will allow Iran to continue enriching uranium and empowers Iran's nefarious activity or not? Any deal between the U.S. and Iran must be one that Congress can fully evaluate

The Republican plan is quite simple: Sell out working and middle class Americans to line the pockets of the rich. Democrats will fight this bill in Committee, on the Senate floor, and in the court of public opinion, every step of the way.

Trump’s birthday parade is a $62M joke, $46M for the show, $16M in street damage. Meanwhile, he’s profiting off Bitcoin, sneakers, MAGA merch, and even asking Qatar for a $400M jet. This isn’t patriotism, it’s profiteering.

Billions in foreign real estate deals. $320M in crypto trading fees — and a private dinner with top buyers of his meme coin. $28M from Amazon for a Melania documentary. The list goes on... We're so numb to Trump profiting off the presidency that hardly anyone notices. Hello?

Louis DeJoy may be gone, but the Post Office is still under attack by corporate interests and privatizers. Millions of Americans rely daily on USPS's affordable rates and universal service. We must protect our public Postal Service.

NEW: Republicans face new pressure to extend expiring Obamacare tax credits Money to limit premiums expires end of 2025. If so, ~5M lose coverage. Dems pushing to extend; Rs not inclined. Big coalition is launching 7-figure ad blitz to ramp up pressure. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

President Trump pledged to bring business back to the U.S. His own company has been doing more business overseas than ever before. See where.

Jerry Nadler and handcuffed a staffer. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The cost to repair Washington, D.C., streets after the upcoming military parade celebrating the Army’s 250th anniversary could cost as much as $16 million, according to U.S. military officials.

Trump’s dystopian plan is already underway: collecting data on every American, potentially to wield surveillance powers over us. And the administration has been very quiet about these efforts. https://trib.al/IYmRKt2
