Take action in your community to help save Medicaid. If you’re in a swing district or state, use our simple Neighbor2Neighbor tool to get a list of like-minded neighbors, knock on their doors and talk to them about stopping the monstrous GOP megabill: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/stopth...

“You can comfort yourself with the notion your position is secure as long as you stay in line…with Trump. But is that really what you envisioned when you sought public office—that your legacy would be defined by obedience to a cruel, bigoted and vengeful man?” www.americaamerica.news/p/a-letter-t...

A Texas representative pleads for his family’s safety on the House floor. His community is under attack. His pain is visible. They see what is happening. They just do not care.

With everything else going on, the Senate sent the Big 💩 Bill back to the House, and made some changes. Here’s one:

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

Senator Tammy Duckworth, a military veteran, DESTROYS Pete Hegseth over his misuse of the military. Instead of preparing America to defend itself he’s abusing it to patrol neighborhoods. ‘If you want to be DHS secretary, maybe you can apply for the job after you’re fired for your incompetence!’

Wow, this is some wild fucking bullshit right here. Executives from Palantir, Meta, and OpenAI “recruited” directly into the Army Reserves **at LtCol** to be “advisors”?! Gonna walk ‘em straight into a TS/SCI without all the paperwork, too? What a disgraceful joke of administration.

It's incredibly delicate to post about Israel to US / CA / EU audiences, the indoctrination to be loyal and overlook its decades of criminal actions runs deep amongst the public. All we can say is, do your best to deprogram from "I stand with Israel" and move toward "I stand with international law."

Pure evil.

Justice Clarence Thomas accusing *anyone* of allowing politics to influence their conclusions is rich.

Padilla gave this speech on the floor pretty much as the news of Brad Lander's arrest in New York was breaking. Two Democratic lawmakers tackled and handcuffed by federal law enforcement in the span of a week.

"Resistance and protest can’t bring Hortman back, and the No Kings demonstrations won’t end MAGA political violence. But the fact that so many refuse to bend the knee is a vital rebuke to those who think that they can end our democracy with terror." — @nberlat.bsky.social

Holy shit, yeah. This ain’t marching. It’s more like… straggling in a loose formation. I’ve seen middle school marching bands in better step. So, either they assembled the *literal* worst marchers in history, or it was intentional… making this either the worst or greatest thing I’ve ever seen.

They could’ve held this parade at Four Seasons Total Landscaping... 🤣🤣🤣

I love this. 2017, Billy Earl Dade Middle School in Dallas planned a “Breakfast with Dads” for boys whose fathers couldn’t attend. They asked for 50 volunteers—nearly 600 men showed up. This Father’s Day, let’s remember: You don’t have to be someone’s dad to be their example.

He’s right! (Just not the way he thinks he’s right. 😏)

This post embeds SOME of the best exchanges in Whiskey Pete's horrible congressional appearances this week: Pete Aguilar Jack Reed Seth Moulton Mikie Sherrill Eugene Vindman Salud Carbajal Sara Jacobs www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/15/t...

Let me remind you: we don't have kings in America — and I won't bend the knee to one. Never stop speaking out and showing up, Illinois. This is what democracy in action looks like.

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.
