In 2024 1.5 million people in Kentucky were on Medicaid. Mitch McConnell thinks they'll "get over it" when it's gone. Time to get kicking! Give Mitch a call: www.mcconnell.senate.gov/public/index...

Now more than ever, we need bold and effective leaders on the front lines, holding this administration accountable. Proud to see @robertgarcia.bsky.social take the helm as ranking Democrat on House Oversight. He's the right leader for this moment.

Regime decapitalization, with no plan for what comes next and no guarantee the alternative will be any better. See Afghanistan, Libya, Sudan, Iraq. We can destroy, but we don't rebuild well.

Jack Ciattarelli is so beholden to Trump that he can’t even commit to stand up to the President when he violates the Constitution. I’m for New Jersey, Jack is for Trump.

Juneteenth is a reminder of how far we’ve come, and how far we still have to go. Today, we’re once more committing ourselves to the work of ending systemic oppression of Black people in America. We’re not free until everyone is free.

I know you can’t stand either one of these clowns, but please sit back and enjoy Tucker Carlson steamroll Ted Cruz over his Iran ignorance. It’s like watching two snakes fight and still rooting for the venom. Clearly, Tuckums planned this, and Cancun Cruz walked right into his trap.

Medicaid cuts will lead to hospital closures across the country, especially in rural and underserved areas. By showing up at our local hospitals and speaking out, we can hold our elected officials accountable for putting billionaires ahead of working families, seniors, and people with disabilities.

It’s a frightening time in our history. But in spite of that reality — or rather, in response to that reality — we are organizing and still rising. #NoKings

We need to ensure that the incredible organizing and inspiring courage of yesterday’s #NoKings protests continue to spread. On tomorrow’s mass call, we’ll discuss how we do that with concrete action steps to overcome authoritarianism. Please join us: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

The Seattle Police Dept said that “tens of thousands” of demonstrators had shown up for the No Kings protest and that the crowd spanned more than 1.5 miles of roadway during a march through the city. As the event continued, the department noted that there was“not a single report of property damage.”

NO KINGS! event in Montclair, NJ, in often heavy rain. Somewhere between 4000 and 7000 people. Not too shabby. #NoKings

I despise the orange one, but this is more what his crowd looked like than some of what has been posted. Still many fewer than Philadelphia or many other places, but not the vast wastelands in other pics of DC taken hours before the show. Please be honest on Bluesky! This is not X.

Israel's attack on Iran, clearly intended to scuttle the Trump Administration's negotiations with Tehran, is further evidence of how little respect world powers - including our own allies - have for President Trump.

There isn't one congressional district where cutting Medicaid has more than 15% support. But Trump’s Tax Scam would gut Medicaid for billionaire tax giveaways.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

While Trump has tanks rolling through DC for his authoritarian parade on Saturday, we’re taking to the streets everywhere else for No Kings Day. With nearly 2,000 events planned nationwide, this will be the single largest protest of this Trump administration. Join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Trump is creating chaos to divert attention from the failures, corruption, and anti-democratic agenda of his administration.

submitted 18 days ago • 0 comments

Last week, major media outlets were focused on the threats posed by the reconciliation bill, the threat to the economy posed by Trump's retaliatory tariffs, the crumbling of his DOGE agenda in the face of a judicial tsunami, and the denial of due process to migrants facing deportation.
