Hawley gets more credit as a "pro-worker populist" for musing about maybe not gutting Medicaid and Social Security this time around every few years before doing it anyways than every single Democratic senator combined does for actually supporting them.

Shorter Andrew Sullivan: “Once I got what I wanted, they kept going, trying to help other people. How dare they?”

Lol, the senate just straight up bought Murkowski's vote by saying "except in Alaska" to many of the most savage cuts. It's good senatoring on her part but tells you just how bad this bill is going to be.

Vance Boelter is complaining of poor jail conditions, the smell of feces and an inability to sleep. My only concern is that he hasn’t been smeared with said feces www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Fascist racist republicans love calling immigrants lazy yet all I see are ICE-Gestapo are arresting hardworking immigrants at their jobs. Go figure.

Oh no, indeed, Mr. Bill. Oh no, indeed.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson predicts that executive power in the United States will become completely uncontainable that our constitutional republic will cease to exist. I couldn’t agree more with her. Fuck you to everyone who voted for the US version of North Korea.

The American people have the right to know, word for word, what's in Trump's Budget Bill. Dems have forced a full reading on the floor and I'm streaming all of it on YouTube.

This Supreme Court can see Trump’s reckless flouting of the law…and still they’re determined to increase his power. They are a real danger to our democratic society.

Hmm. Where have I seen that in the New York Times before...

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.

The Trump admin in a nutshell; in order to justify their own mistake, they’re going to release a violent felon with five deportations so he can testify against the guy with no criminal record they mistakenly deported. In other words, the story is always more important than the principle.

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

If it wasn't already clear to folks that same-sex marriage is in trouble with this Supreme Court, I hope the past week has driven that point home.

This War Powers vote wasn’t asking Congress if bombing Iran was a good move. And if any member of Congress thinks it’s called for in the future, they can vote to authorize force against Iran then. This vote merely asserted Congress’s Constitutional role. Fetterman et. al. voted against having one.

They point out the showers on the Auschwitz tour too

You can't make this shit up.

Rep. Raskin is 🔥

Federal agents used explosives to enter a U.S. citizen’s home and entered — guns drawn — on a baby, a 6-year-old, and their mother. She believes it’s because her boyfriend attended an ICE protest where he accidentally hit a cop car (and was released by cops). www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/h...

By taking away funding for the 988 Suicide Prevention Hotline for LGBTQ+ Americans, this Administration is making callous, heartless decisions about who may live and who may die.  Because that will be the end result: young people in crisis will lose their lives.

To every LGBTQ+ kid watching the Supreme Court erase your stories from the classroom today: I’m sorry. You deserve to see yourself in the world and in the books you read. This campaign of censorship and cruelty will not win. We’re not backing down.

If we're headed towards outlawing things that undermine Christianity we're gonna have a long road ahead

Good morning from the Supreme Court, where at 10 ET we’ll get the final opinions of the 2024 term about: 1. TX’s online porn ID law 2. LA’s election map 3. FCC’s broadband subsidy/nondelegation 4. ACA preventive care mandates 5. LGBT books in schools 6. Birthright citizenship 🧵

Families in Trump states agonize over GOP’s proposed Medicaid cuts “This is not a luxury. I do not have my daughter enrolled in Medicaid so we can have fancy things. I have my daughter enrolled in Medicaid so we can keep her alive and keep her at home, which I think is the best option for her.”

This. Is. Insane. Read this, please.

A despicable betrayal of American veterans' service, to attack & exile their children.

Despite this campaign in concern for children, they've acknowledged that the "endgame" is banning medical transition for all trans people. “Transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely,” Daily Wire commentator Michael Knowles said in a speech at the 2023 CPAC. https://trib.al/YTGNgW4

Proud of these metro schools for standing up for trans students: www.kansascity.com/news/local/a...

Have they, Andrew? Have they really

Medicaid activists in wheelchairs were arrested by Capitol police on Wednesday for staging a sit in at the Russell Senate Building. Their protest banner was ripped away and they were restrained by the wrists with zip ties.

This administration wants to eliminate gender studies departments while simultaneously constantly reminding us of the need for them

Over a three year period, the Kansas City Police Department paid out more than $1 million in legal settlements for car crashes its officers caused. Officers involved were rarely, if ever, ticketed for the crashes. https://loom.ly/pDRhj9M

Since May: Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time. Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time. A judiciary at war with itself.

The MARGINS

I can't believe he actually conceded tho

"Three years ago this week, the Supreme Court ended the federal right to abortion in Dobbs. In their ruling, the justices in the majority suggested that women who were upset about losing their bodily autonomy could direct their anger toward engagement in the democratic process." - Susan Rinkunas

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

NEW: NSF will be kicked out of their building. Announcement will be made tomorrow by HUD Sec. and Governor of VA. HUD will take over the NSF building over the next two years. NSF staffer: "There is no planning for NSF, no identified future location, appropriation for a new building or a move."

I spent most of today seeking to meet with one of the many victims of ICE raids currently jailed in Downtown LA. While @chrclla.bsky.social focuses its efforts on impact litigation, my team boosts efforts on the ground whenever possible. What I saw speaks to the crisis in LA & beyond.

How did I not see this a month ago
