We know the GOP’s reconciliation bill will devastate communities across the country. 13.7 million people would lose their health coverage if this bill is enacted. The impacts on New Mexicans would be just as devastating. We are using every tool possible to fight back!

Trump is not just attacking immigrants — he’s threatening the basic rights of all Americans. Trump has sent innocent people to foreign prisons, he’s deporting students for writing opinion pieces, and now he’s arresting San Antonio families who are legally making their case in court.

"The underlying point isn’t to chastise the firms for making the wrong decision; it’s to remind those firms that it’s not too late to reverse course and join the ranks of the firms resisting Trump’s gambit..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

🚨 While working families are told there’s no $$$ for Social Security, Medicaid, SNAP, or schools, Trump is spending nearly $100 million in taxpayer funds on a military parade to celebrate himself on June 14. That’s why on June 14, we’re rising up to say NO KINGS. Find or join a protest: NoKings.org

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

MAGA republicans come to Canada hoping we will drop our guard. They claim the "healing has begun." Lol. They still have a criminal oligarch in the White House and we are still a democratic nation. Here's my talk with @meiselasb.bsky.social on Canada's resistance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3G4C...

Put aside Harvard. They will end up winning. But the goal is to destroy the ability for US universities to bring in any international students. Who almost always pay full tuition and add immense additional longterm value to us. Ask why and who is pushing this

Jeffries: There are three big issues with the bill 1. It represents the largest cut to healthcare in American history. 2. It represents the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history. 3. All of this is being done to enact the largest tax break for billionaires in American history.

Looks like Judge Brian Murphy ending up in regrettable place. Doesn't put people back into situation they would've been but for USG violation of his order. All agree they're in USG custody. He could order: USG must purge contempt; return detainees to US, remain in custody, but given due process.

Neguse: There’s a ridiculous contempt provision that would essentially try to stop federal courts—or limit their ability—from enforcing contempt orders. Why? Because they know the Trump administration is losing in every federal court in the land…

Fernández: He refused to read the bill he wrote. They are so ashamed of it, they couldn’t even read it aloud—because they know it’s shameful to give tax breaks to tanning beds and take away hospital beds. Who likes tanning beds? There’s a certain personality who has a very orange hue about him.
