#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks I have totally lost my filter and losing my faith in humanity. There is no human kindness in the Trump administration. I keep hearing people say he won’t complete this term, his dementia is advancing, and it shows! When will our government work for the people!

Update:

We go through all this drama, machinations, & posturing with Trump and Vance at the WH with Zelensky to get this big minerals deal done, then as soon as the ink is dry weak dumbass Trump lets the Russians seize Ukraine’s most valuable deposits while withholding Patriot batteries.

This Weekend in Politics, Bulletin 161. All the twists, turns, details and drama over the last 24 hours on the budget package, plus everything else that happened this weekend. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

As the Senate rushes in to vote on the budget bill, the Congressional Budget Office has weighed in. Not only would the cuts directly hurt people, but even the decimation of the safety net and programs to help citizens won’t offset the trillions gifted to the rich. www.crfb.org/blogs/cbo-sc...

I was trying to come up with a Top 5 Most Repulsive Republicans in Congress list but I gave up. It’s impossible to narrow it down to a Top 5 because there are like 30-35 who are all equally horrible.

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.

Rounding people up and shoving them into vans without due process is wrong. Period.

NEW: The death shadow cast by Musk. “When U.S.-supported soup kitchens were forced to close, babies starved quietly, their mothers said, while older siblings died begging for food.” The world’s richest man did this to the world’s poorest children. Don’t ever forget.

Worth noting that Zohran won Hakeem Jeffries district. Hakeem might not endorse him, but Hakeem’s constituents already have!

🚨🚨🚨 Medicaid is under attack! Anyone who votes for the big, ugly bill that came straight out of Project 2025 is voting to cut Medicaid in America.

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

Imagine being so fragile that inclusion feels like a threat, but authoritarianism—just another Sunday.

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

MEDIA: Are you a communist? MAMDANI: I am not ... I call myself a democratic socialist in many ways inspired by the words of Dr. King from decades ago, who said: 'Call it democracy or call it democratic socialism, there has to be a better distribution of wealth for all of God's children'

Notice the pattern? Republicans work to advance their worst bills in the middle of the night—hoping you’re asleep while they attack your healthcare, your rights, and your future. (1/2)

Yes she did!

Joe Biden's a good man.

Hey Elon, guess what? Trump doesn’t need you any more. You helped him win, and now he’s kicking you aside — along with your electric vehicles. When will you saps ever learn? TRUMP ONLY CARES ABOUT HIMSELF.

Between Trump attacking Tillis and Collins being forced to suck up to him, it feels like Democrats just picked up two Senate seats in 2026.

‼️‼️

Thom Tillis is retiring, which means we probably pick up that seat with exceptional organizing (North Carolina has exceptional organizers, among the best in the country), so at least there's a spot of good news.

What's at stake if the Big "Beautiful" Abomination Bill passes. The top 1% don't need their taxes lowered at the expense of the rest of us, who pay more taxes than billionaires. 💰😠

Well, this we can agree on, even Senator Thom Tillis is calling out his own colleagues: “Too many elected officials are motivated by pure raw politics who don’t really give a damn about the people they promised to represent on the campaign trail,” the North Carolina Republican wrote.

Have you guys been checking the live feed on the floor? What happened? Where was everyone? I see @schumer.senate.gov on the right. But where are the Republicans who are actually voting yes on this bill? They should all be there—listening to every last word. Earlier today…

Just a reminder of who Thom Tillis is: In 2013, as N.C. House Speaker, he passed a massive voter suppression law that was struck down because it targeted Black voters "with almost surgical precision.” In the Senate he voted against the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Right Act.

A joy to march in NYC Pride with the people's champ Tish James 🏳️‍🌈

Cool. How about you tell us what Donald Trump said to you that one time that made you wag your finger in his face? kthanksbyeeee

Every major health system in Louisiana is warning Speaker Mike Johnson and the rest of the state's congressional delegation that the Senate GOP's Medicaid cuts "would be historic in their devastation." www.politico.com/live-updates...

He knows. He does not care. His donors will back him because they think money can outvote people, and they want their billionaire tax cuts.

I’m fine with him retiring, because this is a clear chance for a Dem replacement, but politics shouldn’t be a blood sport. A single disagreement with your party shouldn’t lead to threats from the President. It’s insane.

Trump is up to something, he's been barricading the White House and US treasury overnight.

Trump is having a meltdown that Canada is moving on without him, his excuses are lame.

Trump regime media suggests assassinating Netherland's Queen Maxima for making fun of Trump.

Hungary banned pride and anything having to do with homosexuality. In response the country responded with the biggest pride protest in modern history. Orban is cooked. #3E

Yesterday Trump threatens to withhold aid to Israel unless the court reverses their decision to move forward with Netanyahu’s trial. Today Israeli court reverses their decision and postpones it. What a joke.

📌If we make it to the midterms there is going to be some serious bloodletting at the polls in 2026. There will be no such thing as a “safe” seat anywhere, because America is not a safe country. The pol who doesn’t understand that, better be prepared to find some real work. Attn: Hakeem Jeffries

Trump: We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way.  Bartiromo: Who's the buyer. Trump: I'll tell you in about two weeks.
