Yes, she did. That’s the true sign of Murkowski’s ultimate weakness.

If the bill passes, it will make ICE the nation’s largest jailer, with more funding for prison camps than the entire federal Bureau of Prisons. It would give ICE enough money to have more officers than the entire FBI.

Today, a chamber that once filled me with wonderment made me feel disgust.

Idaho is radical militia territory This is domestic terrorism

Tillis is an "evil sumbitch" (my mother's words, not mine), but I do kind of respect his endless supply of pettiness. Wish it were being used for our side, but oh well.

Have you ever wondered what it would have looked like if Hitler's SS had social media?

The billionaire/oligarch upper class complex has a vision for your homes, your cities, your states, your country, America but Unfortunately They don’t see a world with you in it… If its any consolation, they do appreciate you voting for trump so they could get their project2025 kkklan ball rolling…

Let this sink in.

Josh Hawley acted like he was going to fight the Medicaid cuts that will hurt many thousands in his state - most his voters in rural areas. Then he ran away.

Only truly grotesque Americans would flock to Venice to lavish in obscene wealth at the very moment Medicaid is stripped from millions of vulnerable people. Never forget who went to that wedding.

Again, All Red States…

Everybody who has studied right wing extremism knows this place, this is troubling.

Senator Murkowski cut a backroom deal to exempt Alaska from Medicaid cuts, but the Senate parliamentarian shut it down. Protecting your own state while harming millions elsewhere is selfishness and disgusting.

weird how we see these guys find their spines when they aren’t running again — proving they’ve always been more concerned with keeping their jobs than DOING their jobs

Trump's budget includes massive cuts to vital programs in exchange for tax cuts skewed to the rich. It's so unpopular that the House GOP voted on it in the wee hours of the morning last month. Now, the Senate GOP is ramming it through over the weekend. They want to hide it.

Run For Something has had their biggest week ever since the NY mayoral primary. Over 5000 millenials and genz have raised their hands and said they want to run for office. Check out runforwhat.net. They have been around since 2017 and help new candidates every step of the way. Change is coming.

🔥 North Carolina Republican Tillis is now on the senate floor spitting truth bombs about #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer kicking millions off of health coverage — unleashed after announcing his retirement in the wake of Trump attacking him for opposing it.

Can GOP get any worse? G.O.P. Bill Adds Surprise Tax That Could Cripple Wind and Solar Power Wind & solar companies were already bracing for Congress to end federal subsidies. But Senate bill goes even further and penalizes those industries (Free gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/c...

This bill is a big disaster and huge risk to our democracy.

When all you can eke out in a Fox poll is 38%?

Demonstrators with the "No Space for Bezos" group marched through the streets of Venice on the final day of the extravagant wedding celebrations

It is obscene to give tax breaks to the top 1% by throwing more than 16 million people off health care, cutting nutrition for hungry kids and making it harder for working class young people to go to college. That is exactly what Trump's budget reconciliation bill does.

The concern here extends beyond the ruling itself. SCOTUS picks the cases it wants to hear. It's had numerous opportunities to address the constitutionality of nationwide injunctions. So why this case? What does it foreshadow? open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

It’s a scam. The budget bill is a shell game we will lose.

The big ugly bill will give the billionaires plenty of money to spend on their pet projects hint it's not building libraries or helping food banks or any other humanities.

Someone tell this dumbfuck you either embrace naked power in the service of fascism and shrug off the criticism, OR you get to whine about "harsh words" targeting judges. You don't get to do both, dipshit, and you made your choice. apnews.com/article/supr...

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Tuberville, who represents a state that famously leeches off the taxpayers of other states and who took millions in taxpayer money to coach college football at public universities, is not just stupid and racist, he's a vile and hypocritical piece of shit. www.al.com/politics/202...

Your energy bill is high. If the Big Ugly Bill passes – it's going to get even higher. More money for big oil – a less affordable life for you.

Here we work until we no longer can… then die of preventable illness.

It’s important to respect the traditions of the filibuster. Unless you want to extend taxes cuts for the wealthy. Then anything goes.

This isn’t over—we can still stop the GOP bill. I’m staying in the fight for every baby who shouldn’t go hungry. Every senior who shouldn’t get kicked out of a nursing home. Every American who shouldn’t lose their health care. Now is the time to call your senators.

Bernie Sanders Calls For Every Republican Who Votes For BBB To Lose Their Seat https://twp.ai/4intHq

Total jackass, sure, but he’s also correct.

Republicans, before you vote to close 1 of 4 nursing homes, can you update us on where those people will go? Maybe call a few seniors in your state and go over plans for where they go next? Or call the son whose dad has dementia and tell him how he can be a full-time caregiver?

Supreme Court is Neither Supreme Nor a Court It's a paid for political tool of the oligarchy. It needs to be disbanded and replaced.

From my FB Newsfeed. #bigbadhorriblebill

It is just INSANE that the GOP is going to tax new solar and wind capacity, as well as a whole bunch of other terrible energy policies in the BBB, when electricity prices have risen 20% since start of 2022, and the grid is ever more fragile. Prepare for a lot of rolling blackouts.
