Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

So let me see if i got this right: Trump attacks the nuke sites. Didn’t completely destroy them yet so before he could go back for round two to finish them off he calls for a cease fire? Is this right? Wow. Brilliant

First there was vibe coding…now there is vibe bombing

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

1) Medicaid cuts worse now 2) Freedom caucus wants deeper cuts 3) Tax cuts for wealthy in tact 4) Cruz makes broadband funding contingent on NOT regulating AI 5) SALT Republicans to get rolled 6) Bill is like a rotting fish 7) Mike Lee making second run at public lands selloff

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

Trump is a total fool. Keeps making the world more unsafe day by day.

NEW: ABC, Associated Press & the Washington Post are all confirming tonight’s CNN story. The official damage assessment shows that US strikes did not destroy Iran’s nuclear program. It likely only set it back a few months. And Iran’s enriched uranium is now missing. Trump lies as he breathes.

Donakd. Dumbass can't even spell his own name.

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission. They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again. And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

Who else here doesn’t believe any of the assessments the administration is giving?

Schiff: "This was not constitutional, it was not lawful in the absence of a declaration by Congress. The administration should've come to Congress ... you want the American people bought in on an action this substantial that could lead to a major outbreak of war."

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

Seems important.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Nobody gives a fuck. Stop emotionally & psychologically terrorizing Americans on our weekends. Our grand-kids will have to pay the price for your reckless ignorance.

I hate the way Iran treats its women. But a country that kept a brain dead woman alive to force her to give birth, and forced her family to pay for it all against their wishes, hardly has a leg to stand on. We treat women like beasts of burden and take away their agency right here. So…🤷🏽‍♀️

Following the escalation in Iran, I’m keeping a close eye in consultation with federal authorities and @ilstatepolice.bsky.social. There are no known threats to our state at this time. I’ll continue to receive briefings as we remain vigilant to ensure the safety of Illinoisans.

Statement from Arms Control Association: "...Trump's decision to launch strikes against another sovereign country without authorization for the use of such force by Congress, which is mandated by the Constitution, is an egregious violation of the rule of domestic law."

"Trump has spent the last five months vowing that the Ukraine-Russia war would never have happened if he was president, vowing that the Israel-Gaza war would never have happened if he was president. And yet the reality is that not only has he not avoided war, but he’s plunged us into a new one."

Impeach the mofo already

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

"...most prescribable digital health technologies target single conditions, implying that patients with multiple chronic conditions would require several devices and apps to achieve comprehensive health benefits". Design from the patient's perspective, not yours. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Yes the # of convicted criminals in ICE detention is up - about 1.6x its level in early January. Meanwhile, the number of detained immigrants with zero criminal record is nearly FOURTEEN TIMES higher than it was before Trump. austinkocher.substack.com/p/55654-peop...

It’s so on brand Trump Republicans claim CA is under siege WHILE the RNC hosts its Summer Retreat…IN L.A. 🤣 Rumored to be at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons Hotel. It’s all so ridiculous. L.A…Safe enough for the RNC but not Angelenos 🤣🤷‍♀️ At least it’s not at a landscaping company this time

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

The Big Brother commercials that have people whispering are probably the worst commercials EVER.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Okay. The world can see this. Why it so hard for 30% of Americans to continue holding out hope a leopard will change it's spots?

For a lot of relatively comfortable Americans, electing an emotionally incontinent imbecile was a bit of entertainment. A game. Good sport, owning those libs. I hope they’re duly entertained.

This is cool

More than 1 million in Boston! www.wcvb.com/article/more...

Lol

The most consequential Speaker in state history.

I’m sure Trump will tweet about how awesome the parade was since it clearly wasn’t and he is a gaslighter

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

Thank to all the @dailybeanspod.com listeners who reserved trump parade tickets but went to #NoKings protests instead. It’s because of people like us that they expected 200K but got fewer than 10K - generating images like this.

Obama Appreciation Day - 14 June. A real President

Think about this: Sen Padilla is on the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Border Security and Immigration. There is ZERO chance that Kristi Noem does not know who he is! ZERO!!! Kristi Noem is a liar (and an animal abuser, but I digress).

Masked agents in unmarked cars disappearing people from the street and shipping them to a dictator’s prison. Executive branch officials blowing off federal court orders, wrestling members of Congress to the ground and handcuffing them for asking a question. Smells like fascism.

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

Chris Hayes: “It is going to require this kind of democratic force and mobilization against the Trump administration constantly. Believe me, I know it is exhausting. But there will be a million more small victories along the way.”
