Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill" in a nutshell: 14 MILLION people losing their health insurance just so Jeff Bezos can buy another $500 MILLION yacht.

Is ripping health care away from 13 million Americans not exciting enough to stay awake, Rep. Norman?

Cutting Medicaid would hurt people in every state—and Republicans know it. Their budget kicks millions off their coverage and will cause medical debt to skyrocket.   So much suffering to fund tax cuts that billionaires don't need.

Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!? Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.

We are living through the consequences of having an uninformed and ill-informed citizenry. Our founding fathers warned us about this danger.

Yes!

Make no mistake: Republicans are coming after Social Security that YOU pay into your entire life. They want to pay for tax cuts for billionaires by making it harder for YOU to get access to YOUR money. It’s wrong on so many levels.

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss: 1. 1929 (the Great Depression) 2. 1987 (Black Monday) 3. 2008 (the Great Recession) 4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

Katherine Clark: "What they are doing here is wrecking the infrastructure of Social Security so they can rob the benefit ... it is an outrageous ripoff of the American taxpayer that we are seeing from this administration."

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Democracy dies in dumb

Ditto!

Go Cory Booker! Hour 24 and counting. Recounting good trouble and the late great John Lewis #corybooker

Our senator from the great state of Oregon!

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

This Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first. Any lawyers at that firm—partners or associates—who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.

Donald Trump’s billionaire Commerce Secretary has financial advice for Americans: 1. Please buy Tesla stock to help poor Elon Musk. 2. Shut up and don’t complain when you don’t get your Social Security check.

Medicaid provides health care for 1 in 5 rural Minnesotans and half of all nursing home residents. I met with seniors at Watkins Manor Senior Living Center in Winona to discuss the importance of protecting access to care. They asked some great questions!

I'm glad it's in their sphere of understanding. 🙄

Your voice ALWAYS matters. It’s why I’ll never shut up about Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, ACA, Veterans, CHIP, my chronic illness & Lupus communities, my disability community & my LGBTQ+ community. Say it LOUD, say it PROUD. We’ll NOT let them bully US. There are MORE of US than them.

Me to myself: This is annoying. This conversation is annoying, this person is annoying. I hope I’m hiding it well. My face:

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE CANADA. Canceling $100M Starlink contract is a big FU to Elon Musk. BRAVO! betakit.com/its-done-its...

Perfectly said, Vivian.

At 9pmET/6pmPT you can watch an honorable Senator from Congress tell you the truth about what is going on in America, or you can watch State Of The Union propaganda. You choose. I'll be watching Oregon Senator Ron Wyden. (You do NOT have to be a Facebook subscriber.) www.facebook.com/events/18807...

Well... the State of the DisUnion will begin, shortly. I'm gonna be in attendance 😳😏. DO NOT WATCH!

Agreed!

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

What kendrick did to drake, I need bill burr to do to ben shapiro comedically and professionally

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
