Today is the anniversary of the horrific Uvalde school shooting that took the lives of 21 people, 19 of whom were kids. After Uvalde, Dems passed the 1st gun safety legislation in 30 years, though much more needs to be done. The GOP is trying to roll it back—choosing the gun lobby over our kids.

If the Supreme Court does not reverse, the lower court opinion stays in place. So, by a hair’s breadth, we have avoided, at least for the moment, the devotion of public funds to religious education. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The Republican budget bill will throw millions of Americans off Medicaid and take food from about 40 million Americans, all so that the Top 1% can get HUGE tax benefits. And it adds $3 trillion to our debt. Voting no is a no-brainer.

We need to be constantly pointing out that anyone who is making millions of dollars and is NOT vocally opposing their tax cut on the backs of the poor and working classes has some seriously questionable character.

From Heather Cox Richardson. This type of thing should not be in a budget bill. Call your senators to remove this and so many other things from the bill.

Looks like Blake Moore, (R)Utah is more (S) scared….. as he voted for the big beautiful bill…… Utah constituents and its university medical system will be harmed. He voted against his Alma Mater and the poorest of his constituents.

⁦‪⁦‪⁦‪Trump‬⁩ is a Commie directing how and where American companies produce stuff! Planned economies and production demands are the stuff of Communism. As are attacks on individual rights, reprisals against opponents, corruption to enrich the loyalist strata.

“What the heck’s the commissioner of Social Security?" That's a real question from Frank Bisignano...the commissioner of Social Security. Millions of Americans depend on Social Security. They should be able to trust that the head of the agency even knows what the job is.

MAGA thinks this won't hurt Americans. Wrong. Many poor American students are able to enroll for free because many international students are able to pay full rates. This attack is petty, dictatorial, vindictive, and makes America stupider. apnews.com/live/donald-...

The GOP’s budget for billionaires doesn’t trim food assistance for children—it guts it. It would slash SNAP to its core and make 300,000 New Yorkers go hungry. I introduced an amendment stopping Rs from shifting costs onto our state. Not one New York Republican joined me.

Americans didn’t send us to Congress to help Trump turn the White House into a crypto cash machine. We can't look the other way when the President hosts a private dinner for his top meme coin buyers—or pass crypto bills like the GENIUS Act that would further line his pockets.

PFAS levels in sea foam off the NC coast were among the highest measured in that material anywhere. As in 1m parts per trillion. Don't touch foam in waterways, per NCSU researcher Dr. Enders, as even naturally occurring types (from leaves, algae) likely contain some contamination.
