trump and republicans want to cut support for solar and wind to support coal. Everything they touch dies. Wind farms are regenerating fisheries and providing storm barriers. They are creating $ millions beyond their energy benefits. Stop the big ugly bill. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

SFDEM showed up in full force for SF Pride this weekend — supporting safety, connection, and love in every form. Happy Pride, San Francisco!

I'm still wondering why he retired when he did? 🧐

The question is, how will Tillis vote?! That's where the rubber meets the road. Please vote no against this bbb. It's so bad!

To say that this ICE mask and ID requirement bill in California is timely, is an understatement!💪🏼💪🏾💪💪🏿🫡

Angus: We have American officials claiming that Canada is some kind of terrorist haven. They’re saying we’re sending massive gangs of El Salvadorans over the border. I’m sorry—have you ever visited Canada? Could you show us where these El Salvadoran gangs supposedly are?

Tillis is coming through with words but will he vote against this bill which will rob his constituents of Medicaid health insurance for the sake of a tax cut?!

Sickening. 🥵🤮🤬😡🤨

Catching a little bit of Wimbledon & Alcaraz won the match after almost 5 hours in the 90° heat. His opponent, Fognini, played a masterful game. They congratulated each other & hugged at the end & I think, 'why can't all people behave in this way,' compete but leave room for appreciation.🧐🌐☮️🇺🇦☯️🇺🇸📜⚖️🙏🏼🫡

Open-ended doesn't always work. Unreliable. There could be a time commitment by the philanthropists that would help supporters who get involved in the project, decide at the outset whether they want 2participate; whether it's worth it or not. Sorry for the students & families who lost their school.

This administration decided to fire competent experts under the guise of DEI. What we’re left with is white mediocrity. Our diversity is our greatness!!

These hollyhocks look so healthy!

😁

My heart breaks for the two teenage girls shot outside Stonewall Inn last night after NYC Pride. One remains in critical condition. While we await further details, I pray for their recoveries.

NEW: A tax on solar and wind projects in the Senate mega-bill could "indefinitely undermine renewables development in America," reports @jael.bsky.social. Full story below, feat. @andrewreagan.bsky.social of @ceforamerica.org and @jessedjenkins.com.

🚨 BREAKING: Thom Tillis will not seek re-election. We will be investing to mobilize Gen Z in North Carolina and elect a champion for our generation. Can you chip in to help us flip this seat? secure.actblue.com/donate/votse...

NEW: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Yesterday I was so PROUD to stand with LGBTQ+ New Yorkers alongside my friend and our Democratic nominee for Mayor, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!

We cannot rely on private philanthropy to address structural and systemic issues over the long run because the changing whims of private donors means investments are piecemeal and seldom sustained for long enough to make a difference. wapo.st/3ZRonor

Just awful: A 75-year-old man just died in ICE custody, ICE has revealed in a notice to Congress. But here's the rub: This man, a Cuban national, was first paroled into the US in 1966—nearly 60 years ago! They were set to deport him anyway. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/1974...

I couldn’t get everyone in the picture, but the York County Democratic Women’s Council ran out of seats at their candidate forum, today. Women drive the Democratic Party forward, especially in South Carolina. Let’s get them elected!

Everything is a “redistribution of wealth” — the only question is which direction it’s heading in. Stop letting them convince you the only valid direction is from the bottom to the top. They’ve been selling that snake oil for decades.

The reverse Robin Hood: take from the poor to give to the rich.

Senate interrupted by someone screaming: You people are awful

Thank you 2every senator & congressman who is standing up for the PEOPLE, arguing & VOTING to PROTECT MEDICAID. For those Republicans, especially Murkowski and Collins, who misguidedly think that wealthy people deserve more tax breaks, they are wrong. AMERICANS WHO NEED MEDICAID, NEED IT! PLEASE!

New Dems are heartbroken by the news of the deadly ambush in Idaho. Our thoughts are with the families and colleagues of the two fallen firefighters. This is yet another reminder that the Administration should be strengthening - not weakening - the ATF and firearm regulations.

What a disgusting person. Crooked and evil. ProPublica finds that Noem hid $80,000 in income she diverted from her own PAC. www.propublica.org/article/kris...

This is the EASIEST way to give Senators a piece of your mind about the #OBBB. Tell them it kills people. It starves children. It bankrupts our nation. All so just a handful of obscenely rich people keep even MORE money. www.pleasegrowaspine.org

This was a great fucking commercial by Zohran Mamdani. 🎯🎯🎯👇

Murray: This bill polls like garbage because it is garbage. That's why it should go nowhere except a trash bin

If there was ever a time to call your Senator, this is it. Voting has begun on the GOP plan to cut off health care for working-class Americans and slash taxes for the wealthiest.

The GOP is LYING through their teeth FOR TAX BREAKS.🤬🤮🥵 They are voting 2REMOVE 16 million Americans, including VETERANS, MOTHERS, CHILDREN, SENIORS, & PEOPLE W/DISABILITIES, off Medicaid insurance, in order 2give wealthy people & corps TAX BREAKS.🚫🇺🇸📜⚖️ THIS IS WRONG! 😡🥵🤬🤮 THE PEOPLE NEED MEDICAID!

This is how you handle ice.

We must work together to benefit Americans with Good Legislation. THE CURRENT BILL being debated IS BAD LEGISLATION & EVERY SENATOR KNOWS IT. It's crushing me that the women senators, MURKOWSKI & COLLINS, are TURNING THEIR BACKS 2STEAL MEDICAID FROM 16M AMERICANS, INCLUDING VETERANS, 4TAX BREAKS.🚫🇺🇸⚖️

Happy Pride! Today NYC showed up in full color to stand with a community that deserves joy, safety, and the freedom to live fully. Pride is always. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

When I awoke early this morning it was still only 78°. I washed up & started my day w/the horrendous bbb bill front & center in my mind. There'll likely be a vote in the Senate today. While we're calling senators to "Vote No" & speaking out, I am 🙏🏼🙏🏿🙏🙏🏽🙏🏻 for senators to open their 💙s for the people.🇺🇸
