If you need a little hope this morning

“Those who mourn Sarah should reflect on her ideals, learn from her life’s work and aim as she did on creating the fragile groundwork for Middle East peace.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/o...

“If you haven’t been poor, don’t legislate for the poor.” - Rep Lateefah Simon, CA-12

It’s time to turn the lights out on Lauren Boebert

Why would Apple have to pay 25% tariffs when I was told China was paying them? 🤔

Disinformation straight from the White House.

Elon Musk calls people who benefit from federal programs "the parasite class" and Medicare "a Ponzi scheme" while he has sucked more dollars out of our federal government than *anyone* on food stamps, Medicaid, or Medicare--and, unlike most of them, he doesn't pay taxes.

“A construction worker in south Alabama says he was forcibly detained Wednesday by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who claimed his proof of U.S. citizenship was fake.” www.al.com/news/mobile/...

Democrats on the House Rules Committee, led by Jim McGovern, have been battling since 1:00 AM to expose as many shady things as possible that were crammed into the Big Bloated Budget Busting Disaster in the dead of night and have been fantastic.

Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) trying to avoid explaining her vote which will result in 67.000 of her constituents losing their Medicaid. Absolutely pathetic and shameful.

Democrats are dramatically over performing so far in 2025: winning big races (WI Supreme Court), defeating GOP mayors (Omaha) and flipping legislative seats in states nationwide. Why? Trump’s a big factor. But so are the 16,000 volunteers the party has mobilized as part of a new 50-state strategy.

Social Security is one of our most successful government programs. Prior to its creation, as many as three-quarters of Americans lived in poverty. Today, that number is about 10%. Social Security WORKS.

Everyone 6 months and older is eligible to get a flu vaccine. It makes no sense to restrict Covid vaccines to only people who have specific medical conditions. The FDA is basing its decisions on politics, not science.

Please share this link to post a comment regarding the anti-science “policy” to restrict COVID vaccines this fall and to waste time and our taxpayer money with unethical trials. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

Rep. Miller-Meeks (a doctor!) voted for cut $700 billion from Medicaid. We're holding a rally tomorrow in her district. It's outside a medical center that's likely to close if her Medicaid cuts become law.

Alex Lawson to Rep. Miller-Meeks: Last time you spoke with us you lied to our face and said you wouldn’t vote for Medicaid cuts, but you’ve voted for the largest cuts in the history of the country. Do you have any comment on the health care that 67,000 people in your district are going to lose?

While Rachel Maddow honors everyday Americans standing up to Trump’s authoritarian regime, she also says the quiet part out loud: the GOP doesn’t care about their constituents—because they think they don’t need them. They serve power, not people. @maddow.msnbc.com @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

Ashli Babbitt was a domestic terrorist who attempted to overthrow our government via a violent insurrection at our nation’s Capitol. The administration agreeing to pay her family $5 million of taxpayer money is disgraceful.

Let’s be clear. This isn’t law enforcement. It’s regime enforcement. Charging a sitting Congresswoman for doing her oversight job at an ICE facility is a calculated intimidation tactic. This is how police states are built. Criminalize scrutiny. Punish dissent. Dare others to speak up.

“Sorry, we don’t have enough money for universal healthcare, we’re too busy paying people whose family members tried to overthrow the federal government”

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

Dear America, Have you had enough yet? I have.

This is from a twitter post from 2018 by Rep. Rick Larsen, is what I found when I searched this image. Apparently it was a parade in DC. If we can't get our wish and he *does* get his ego-stroking parade, I hope it is even emptier of onlookers than what we see here.

😳

Class lesson is OVER...Any Questions......🤔

In these dark times, it’s great to come together and find something we can all take joy in.

Ben of Ben & Jerry’s is a great Jewish man 👇 who dares to speak the truth

Sharing this because it's such clear, direct, and forceful messaging. Pass it on to anyone who needs it.
