Wild — they got Senator @lisamurkowski (R) to sell out the rest of 🇺🇸 by exempting Alaska from some harmful aspects of the bill and essentially buying her off with tax incentives for Alaska whalers and clinicians and a higher Medicaid share. More: prospect.org/politics/202...

Coming back from time off, seeing this in full and astounded by the level of gaslighting here. Shame on Karoline Leavitt. @natashabertrand.bsky.social doesn’t need my support but is a great reporter. Karoline is lying a lot here. Discussing this on my show Monday.

Republican lawmakers know their rich donors will remember in the midterms that they give them a huge tax cut. They're counting on their non-rich voters to forget that they got screwed.

With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending

Trump is singling out a woman reporter on social media less than two weeks after one of his supporters killed Melissa Hortman and her husband and her dog. This insanity needs to stop.

One accurate way of thinking about the Trump bill is that is is a massive wealth transfer from the poorest to the richest. That wealth transfer is built on administrative burdens: the savings depend on making it harder for eligible claimants to receive benefits. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/u...

Republican senators have been racing to pass their bill before people learn about these numbers. But at some point Americans are going to notice anyway. Including the ~half of Medicaid recipients who voted for Trump.

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/...

Jake Tapper should be best understood now as someone who works in service of helping to launder GOP talking points. "those who truly need it & deserve it" is designed to be not just a softball to Katie Britt but a verbatim repeating of the GOPs lie of what their cuts will do & who they will effect.

The media’s fawning over Bezos’ wedding while protesters flood Venice & Congress strips health care at home to hand him another tax break. He made a fortune by ruthlessly exploiting workers and dodging taxes. That’s the story. Not who designed a dress.

Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you.

We fought the good fight from emoluments to impeachment to criminal prosecution but Congress failed us and the Supreme Court has been fully complicit. We must keep invoking the lower courts’ fidelity to law but will need massive political mobilization. washingtonmonthly.com/2025/06/27/i...

Tax cuts for billionaires. Higher electricity prices for consumers and more extreme climate change. The GOP budget bill has something for everyone.

Democrats have been asked to disavow Zohran more than Republicans have been asked to disavow the guy who murdered two Democrats. Says a lot about how profoundly fucked up our political and media situation is right now.

“He’s easily bruising. He has bone pain. He looks pale .… He has also lost his appetite …. His mom is terrified that these are symptoms that his leukemia situation might be deteriorating.” A 6-year-old with cancer is languishing in a U.S. detention camp. Who will answer for this cruelty?

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

Letting vulnerable Americans starve, so the already-rich can get more rich is immoral & completely unnecessary. If the already-rich want more money, they need to go out & EARN it, like the rest of us! #GOPMurderBill #RepublicansAreSadists

The Trump admin in a nutshell; in order to justify their own mistake, they’re going to release a violent felon with five deportations so he can testify against the guy with no criminal record they mistakenly deported. In other words, the story is always more important than the principle.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it. Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...

Pretty much confirmation that Trump was guilty as hell in Impeachment 1 of threatening to withhold aid to Ukraine unless they did what he wanted in a court case, because here he is brazenly doing it again out in the open this time.

The Rogue Court vs Modern Democracy I wrote this two years ago, after the Court effectively abolished affirmative action. It’s even more obvious now: America can accept the Roberts Court as legitimate and its rulings as the final word - or it can have democracy in a pluralistic society. Not both.

You would think, but no. Published 3 yrs ago under Heliotrope Books. After reading it, all this will make sense. Problem is I have been shadow banned by both right and left bc I was an agent for 6 yrs. This book has caused more problems for Border Patrol than anything media reported.

When you take away rights from some groups, you open the door to taking away rights from everyone.
