"How many registered voters support the Republican budget bill?"   Fox News: 38% KFF: 35% Pew: 29% Quinnipiac: 27%   The American people aren't fooled. As they learn more about the bill, they learn how harmful it is. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Breaking: After a classified briefing with Cabinet officials, Sen. Chris Murphy says: "I walk away from that briefing still under the belief that we have not obliterated the programs."   "The president was deliberately misleading the public when he said the program was obliterated."

Today's Planned Parenthood decision was a devasting blow to women, and it wasn't even about abortion. It was a devasting blow to civil rights, and it wasn't even about Civil Rights. It's one of the worst decisions from this SCOTUS, worse than you probably think. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Well deserved! Would love to see DTs reaction

Senator Murphy coming out of private briefing on the attack on Iran’s nuclear sites: It still appears that we have only set back the Iranian nuclear program by a handful of months… the allegations that we have obliterated their program just don’t seem to stand up…

📣‼️This just in‼️ What new fresh HELL is happening? We thought it was bad enough this woman is giving a presentation to ACIP. Now she is getting a federal job? We can’t make any sense of this. ☎️📞🤳Call reps and demand RFK Jr resign. Save our children. Save the next generation!

Great 🧵

You don't "not recall" telling DOJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. You either remember saying it, or you remember that you definitely didn't say it. Emil Bove saying he doesn't recall means he definitely said it, and there's a roomful of people that can testify to it.

Federal and local law enforcement wearing masks is just plain unamerican. It’s a cowards move, and shows the fact that the kinds of deportations happening and the methods are, shameful and unpopular. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Oh

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

Thank you @drdigipol.bsky.social ICYMI She didn't know If her mouth opens A LIE, AN IDIOT, or BOTH

Watch this. Because this is the way: Local officials using their platform right, reaching out to the community. Ambrocio “Enrique” Lozano, affectionately known as “the popsicle man,” was reportedly abducted in broad daylight in Culver City. Masked man. White van. Cart left behind in the street.

The GOP telling us how they are proud of taking food from children and benefits for our most vulnerable people. Here are their words. We're all going to die." "They'll get over it."

 Medicaid is the backbone of the care that Charlie receives. "When I hear that some of our elected officials are suggesting that we're all just gonna die someday and that I should stop being so concerned about these budget cuts, I'm filled with rage."

The American Academy of Pediatricians bluntly telling us the current CDC can't be trusted, and of course they are absolutely correct publications.aap.org/aapnews/news...

Who does this????

Thank you @repdangoldman.bsky.social NO SECRET POLICE ACT Call Your Congressional Representatives 202 224-3121 Join this ICE GESTAPO MUST (ty @roguecitizenone.bsky.social )

ICE is rounding people up in the Clear Lake area of Houston (home of NASA Johnson Space Center). They took all of the workers at a Spanish store near NR1 and 45 as well as from apartment complexes in the area. Even if people have the right documents. ICE tells them they are fake and arrests them.

They are arresting Americans in wheelchairs at the Capitol who are voicing support for Medicaid

They’re lying about Medicaid cuts. They’re lying about the deficit increase. They’re lying about what they accomplished in Iran. They lie about everything. It is just a nonstop torrent of lies intended to flood the zone with propaganda.

arstechnica.com/health/2025/... my comments @arstechnica.com

Pissy Pammy Jo Bondi claims she would never cut a grant that would hurt women or law enforcement. Yet she cut more than $800 million in funds to local violence intervention groups that keep women, law enforcement, and our communities safe.

So the Iran Nuclear Deal, a sophisticated multilateral agreement reached by hundreds of adults over a two-year period—which kept us safe for years—has been replaced by a pathetic, obviously false bedtime story about a supposedly obliterated nuclear program being told to us by a known con man Got it

Murray to Vought: This should be a yes or no. What I hear is all kind of word salad to make sure you are letting us know that you intend to do things that are outside the intent of the law.

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs? VOUGHT: I reject the assertion MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

Thank you, Glenn. We are all well aware. 🤣😂

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

This is why we learn the rules…

‘They’ll get over it,’ McConnell reportedly assures GOP colleagues about Medicaid cuts. “You’ll have hospitals closed, services eliminated and 20,000 jobs eliminated" if Senate proposals become law, says Kentucky Hospital Association CEO Nancy Galvagni. kentuckylantern.com/2025/06/24/t...

Today the Senate Judiciary Committee takes up the nomination of Trump's former criminal defense lawyer Emil Bove to become a judge on the 3rd Circuit. It's unprecedented & there are 3 big reasons, laid out here, for concern. joycevance.substack.com/p/packing-th...

Sen. Booker to Bove: There are complaints that pre-date your judicial nomination by years about you being so intoxicated with power and your supervisors were warned that you are a liability to the office. There are multiple reports of your abuse of power.

FACT: Medicaid covers nearly half of all childbirths in the country, and around two-thirds of nursing home stays. FACT: Roughly 1/5 of America relies on Medicare or Medicaid to cover healthcare costs. FACT: GOP members just passed a bill requiring DEEP cuts to these programs. #DontBombMedicaid

NEW: Emil Bove does not deny telling DoJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. Thank you for your line of questioning, @schiff.senate.gov

The Constitution is not a minor inconvenience to be ignored at whim but the operating system for our government and the binding covenant of the American people.

MUST SEE: Congresswoman Schrier nails conspiracy theorist and unfortunate HHS Secretary, RFK Jr., on the value of vaccines—and it’s glorious. Schrier also happens to be the first pediatrician in Congress.

SCHIFF: Did you suggest telling the courts 'fuck you' in any manner? BOVE: I don't recall SCHIFF: You just don't remember that

Insane!

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Why are federal agents wearing masks? It undermines trust and poses a threat to American democracy.

In the time you spend watching this video, Jeff Bezos will earn more than what the majority of full-time American workers earn in a year. Say it with me: Tax the rich.

This is an easy one. Disbar him.

How many armed, masked men does it take to disappear an unarmed woman who has committed no crime? 2.5, evidently. I feel safer with her on the streets than I do the monsters disappearing her. 💔 screw Miller’s america.

Sen. Blumenthal: Did you speak with Stephen Miller before you issued the memo to dismiss Eric Adams' case? Bove: I refuse to answer that question because it isn't appropriate for me to discuss it with you.

I never thought Mitch would get through the pearly gates before this, now I’m certain he will spend eternity with Limbaugh.

I think that the outcome in the NY Mayoral race and the Wisconsin Supreme Court race both show that people power CAN beat the political money machine. That should give us all hope, and the motivation to work for the government we want.
