If one of these people is your senator, it is incredibly important that you call them today. Urge them to vote NO on the Senate budget bill that would make most Americans poorer to give billionaires a tax cut they don't even need.

Ossoff: "If we allow Affordable Care Act benefits to expire, as this bill would, more than a million Georgians will pay more for health insurance next year. A family of 4 in Clayton County making $65k a year - that's a $2,600 increase...the AJC reports 300k Georgians would lose insurance altogether"

If there was ever a time to call your Senator, this is it. Voting has begun on the GOP plan to cut off health care for working-class Americans and slash taxes for the wealthiest.

NEW: The Supreme Court will review one of the last standing pillars of campaign finance regulations, which limits the amount of money that political parties can spend in coordination with candidates. The court will almost certainly strike down this restriction. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Republicans no longer see care as a duty. The 2025 budget bill doesn’t reform—it sorts, exposes, and discards. It encodes necropolitics into policy, not with force, but through spreadsheets and silence. The question isn’t whether we can afford to care. It’s who we’re willing to abandon.

If the bill passes this week, it will give ICE enough money to become, by 2029, the nation's largest federal interior law enforcement agency with enough funding to become the nation's largest jailer.

@mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social lays it out: This disastrous bill gives the wealthy massive tax breaks while working and middle-class Americans pay more. Millions will lose their health care, and Medicaid & Medicare will face deep cuts. Everything we rely on is at risk. Call your senators 202-224-3121!

Actually what Americans just saw today was a prominent Republican US Senator announce he is quitting because he knows this budget is going to hurt millions of people and he was repeatedly threatened by the president and his cult for telling the truth about it.

If Dems and their backers are not right now cutting ads featuring Tillis to be played in Maine, Alaska, Missouri, Louisiana, and elsewhere, it’s political malpractice.

It seems that these political assassinations really don’t matter to Trump.

Just a reminder of who Thom Tillis is: In 2013, as N.C. House Speaker, he passed a massive voter suppression law that was struck down because it targeted Black voters "with almost surgical precision.” In the Senate he voted against the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Right Act.

Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you.

Trump to Fox about Zohran Mamdani: “He's a communist. I think it's very bad for New York... but let's say this: if he does get in, I'm going to be president and he's going to have to do the right thing… “…or the federal government is coming down very tough on them financially.”

The Trump admin in a nutshell; in order to justify their own mistake, they’re going to release a violent felon with five deportations so he can testify against the guy with no criminal record they mistakenly deported. In other words, the story is always more important than the principle.

#ProudBlue This is what true leadership looks like. You lead with compassion & empathy. You comfort & heal. Not the hateful BS happening right now. I miss Biden’s leadership. He wasn’t perfect, but he is a good man & a true leader. These pics don’t fit their narrative of him being unfit.

🚨BREAKING: The latest version of the Republican reconciliation bill does not include provision that would have required those suing the Trump administration to post a huge bond if they won an injunction. A BIG VICTORY for Senate Democrats, democracy and the rule of law.
