šŸ”„ ā€œThere’s something wrong in this country… everything has gone up but wages… how many yachts and houses does one person need? — They want us to stay poor, stay hidden, and die silently.ā€ šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø #FightTheOligarchy H/T @violadavis.bsky.social

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

The legal aid group Lambda Legal has raised $285 million at a time when attacks on the rights of gay, intersex and transgender people have again intensified.

Read? The Gazpacho Police and Peachtree Dish lady?

Republicans can try, but they can’t lie their way out of this one.

Truth.

ā€œmeanspiritedā€ lol have you ever seen a smol bean federal agency before

Apparently Marge didn’t read the bill before she voted for it.

Very Well Said…. Let’s Do This!šŸ˜ŠšŸ’™

I've so much admiration for those who devote their lives to helping people who are homeless. It's draining, poorly paid and sometimes dangerous. In Salem, Ore., a disturbed person stabbed 12 people at a shelter, including two staff. Thanks to all on the front lines. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/u...

LEVY: ā€œ.. This is .. one of those operations of crazy audacity and unparalleled ingenuity that make military history. It will be taught for ages in war schools. .. Putin terrorized the world .. There was an army capable of calling his bluff—and it did.ā€ @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/ukra...

So it’s not ā€œBig & beautifulā€?

Genius resistance.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Rebecca GonzƔlez runs one of ICE's local domestic intelligence offices. She told NPR how her agents are tracking down immigrants in Puerto Rico to deliver on President Trump's mass deportation promise.

This needs to happen in every neighborhood in America

Other countries have agency & domestic politics, too šŸ‡ÆšŸ‡µ

Paramilitaries, you say? šŸ¤”

Yes, Joni, we’re all going to die. The point is not everyone should die faster and poorer because you gutted their healthcare.

I was at this town hall and saw her say this live. My jaw almost hit the floor. I am running against her to get her the hell out of the senate.

At her town hall, when the crowd says people will die due to Medicaid and SNAP cuts, Joni Ernst responds "well we all are going to die." Fun Fact: She is up for re-election and we WILL hold her accountable.

BREAKING: We're going to court to defend pregnant people's right nationwide to get lifesaving abortion care when they're facing a medical emergency.

Buried in the Republicans’ ā€œBig, Beautiful Billā€ is a provision that shields Trump and his Admin from being held in contempt of court. So it doesn’t just cut taxes for billionaires — it also undermines the courts and emboldens an already lawless presidency. We must stop it.

It’s baffling that Trump can justify tariffs against Mexico by citing the cartels while simultaneously cutting a deal with Sinaloa allowing 17 cartel family members safe harbor in the United States.

Democrats seem at a loss for a punchy message that easily conveys how horrible Trump has been. How about "So far, Donald Trump has killed 300,000 people, mostly children, just so billionaires can pay less taxes"?

Conway: A lot of right wing hacks joined the federalist society in these past several years thinking this is the way to get a job in the next trump administration or to get a judgeship. And they made a mistake there. Trump does not like the federalist society

Republicans can only lose 3 Senate votes on Trump's Big Ugly Bill — and these senators are the most vulnerable in 2026: -Collins (ME) -Tillis (NC) -Sullivan (AK) -Husted (OH) -Moody (FL) -Cornyn (TX) -Ernst (IA) If they represent you, tell them to vote NO.Ā  (202) 224-3121

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: ā€œ.. The Trump EOs are an abuse of executive power that isn’t justified under any fair reading of the Constitution. ā€œ.. he would be wise to cut his losses before he goes zero for nine at the Supreme Court.ā€ @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/rich...

WATCH: @repmoskowitz.bsky.social calls out the astounding nearly $1 BILLION (!!) for ICE employees in bonuses alone in the Republican budget. Masked anti-constitutional vigilantism pays well these days. šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

Sure, it's nice to see Elon Musk "exiting Washington." But he's done so much damage and laid the groundwork for it to continue. Plus, I'm not all that convinced he'll stay out of our politics. (1/2) www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/u...

very clear warning...

It is easy to forget that when Paul Weiss and the other law firms that capitulated to Trump cut their deals they thought they would be viewed as savvy dealmakers. Now they look like craven fools and gutless cowards.

Was just talking with a group of scholars about all the primary sources and reports that have been disappearing along with the research and teaching losses associated already -- USAID, USIP, Wilson Center, White House transcripts and older files, speeches, reports ... with much more imperiledšŸ—ƒļø

Trump isn’t taking his losses well tonight. Instead of throwing ketchup, he started pardoning gang members, murderers, and convicted felons. Guess he didn’t want to taco ’bout it.

BIG: Court of International Trade blocks Trump’s tariffs in sweeping ruling. It is well reasoned and should survive appeal. Not sure the SCOTUS wants to rewrite the taxing powers for this POTUS. For the ruling see storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
