Trump's Big Ugly Bill is a regressive nightmare, raising incomes for the top 10 percent of earners and slashing them for the poorest people in the country. It's also opposed by a majority of Americans. Remember this as Trump constantly tries to shift the public's focus.

A Democratic politician was murdered three days ago by a Trump supporter & their response is to violently arrest NYC Comptroller and Democratic Mayoral candidate, Brad Lander. MAGA is leaning into the bad stuff. Trump LIVES for the tough guy act. So do the cowards who vote GOP.

Yesterday, millions of us reasserted the “We” in "We the people." We gained strength from our solidarity. We celebrated our numbers and our power. We will be steadfast. We will not cower to a dictator. We will win.

A listless speech from a draft-dodger who has denigrated the army for nearly 80 years and degraded it since he became commander-in-chief produces virtually no reaction from the crowd. And then they sing happy birthday as if there would be a firing squad if they did not.

IMPORTANT: Before the fascist attack on Senator Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem said that her gestapo in California were staying to "liberate the city socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country." Don't let that slide by.

Are we really fucking doing this. Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.

Agree on both points. 1) States control most criminal prosecutions. Calif state charges for physical assault OF A US SENATOR in state's biggest city. 2) Dems in US Senate need to stand up on this one. This didn't happen even in days Faubus/Wallace/Maddox/Bull Conner resisted fed authority in 60s

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.

Let me remind you: The senate passed bipartisan immigration reform in 2024. Trump panicked and ordered Mike Johnson not to bring it to the House floor. He feared its passage would help Biden win. Johnson complied. Then, Trump made immigration a major campaign issue and won. And here we are.
