The Republican Great Big Beautiful bill gets even worse when taken as a whole. The CBO estimates that between cuts to Medicaid, expiring tax credits & eligibility changes the number of uninsured Americans will rise by 13.7MIL people! All to pay for tax cuts for those that need them least.

Pennsylvania can not pass a budget that doesn’t fund mass transit. End of story. Today I joined a massive rally of labor, riders, and many of my colleagues to demand the Republicans in the Senate allow a vote on mass transit funding for the commonwealth!

Our union sibling Rümeysa Öztürk was held in ICE detention for over a month, just because she wrote an op-ed. She’s free today because working people stood together. When they come for one of us, they come for all of us!

"The bill would have permitted 16- and 17-year-olds to work overnight on school days and work longer than an eight-hour day before a school day. Some 14- and 15-year-olds would also have been allowed to work those hours."

The first thing Trump/Doge/Duffy did about aviation was to fire FAA staffers, including controllers. The second thing was to see whether a long-standing technology contract could be siphoned to Musk. The third was to blame DCA disaster on DEI. Fourth, calling controllers 'unpatriotic' Next?

BREAKING: AOC just exposed the GOP’s Medicaid scam—“If it’s about 1M undocumented people, why are you cutting off 13.7 MILLION Americans?” Because it’s not about numbers. It’s about punishing poor, sick, and marginalized folks. Cruelty is the point—and racism fuels it. #NoMedicaidCutsj

Crockett: He wants there to be a portion of the budget that goes up to $1 trillion on the defense side. They have failed the very last seven audits. So why would they continue to get raises, which they always do. Yet we're going to hurt the most vulnerable amongst us.

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods… I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.
