Senate Republicans released their tax and health plans for Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. This new Senate bill means MORE people lose health care to fund even BIGGER corporate tax breaks.

Context note: DOJ doesn’t turn over evidence to Congress if they have a viable investigation in the works.

The SAVE ACT suppresses the votes of married women. The GOP veils this horrific bill saying it prevents non-citizens from voting. That’s a lie. Non-citizens are already barred from voting. This bill is intended to strip away a married woman’s rights. #Pinks #OneV1 ⬇️ www.forbes.com/sites/hollyc...

President Trump said that he had no plans to call Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota after a man assassinated a state lawmaker there and wounded another over the weekend. "I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out, I’m not calling him," Trump told reporters.

This is beyond the military industrial complex - basically a pure merger of public military power and private interests breakingdefense.com/2025/06/andu...

Add this weapon to your arsenal. #ChingaLaMigra #fuckICE

Minnesota Star Tribune debunks each of the lies and conspiracies posted on social media from Mike Lee, Elon Musk, and all the other usual suspects who do this EVERY time. www.startribune.com/fact-check-d...

Please take a minute to share these poster on social media today to raise awareness. His name is Martir García Lara, a 9‑year‑old fourth grader attending Torrance Elementary in Los Angeles County. They have been detained by ICE.

🚨🚨 Trump’s VA just allowed doctors to deny care to Democrats, unmarried Veterans, among other groups. This isn’t healthcare. It’s political purity tests for people who risked their lives for this country. It’s unethical, authoritarian, and every one of us should be outraged.

Okay, this is so weird. I came across this June 3, 1933 issue of a French satirical magazine at our local flea market and I was shockingly struck by how much the guy licking Hitler’s boots looks like…

Millions of people who use the food assistance program SNAP are facing changes: on what food they can buy, how much money they'll receive or even if they'll still qualify for the program.

This will motivate a lot more Trump supporters to exit the Authoritarian regime. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Has everyone seen the new Lincoln Project ad? It's horrifying. #USDemocracy

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

Trump is now directing ICE to focus on Democratic-led cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York:

lol

😂

James Talarico is a "Rock Star" We need him in DC

No Kings

Today's Juneteenth Day in Warrenton, Virginia. I had the pleasure of meeting @johnmcauliff.bsky.social today. He is a Democrat and small business owner running to flip Virginia's 30th House District. YAY ! Please, let's all give him a warm welcome and follow here on Bluesk.y 💙🦋 BOOST !

ICE agents were. Caught dressed like Construction worker

absolutely horrifying: "Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer."

This is the moment when he realizes what he's become.

‼️‼️

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

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

Trump on Oct 1, 2024, saying that we are on the brink of WWIII and a “global catastrophe” because Iran just launched missiles at Israel, which never would’ve happened if he was president.

This is a fantastic video on dinosaurs. Speaking of dinosaurs, why do MAGA women over the age of 23 all look like this? This poor girl could be Casey DeSantis or Kim Guilfoyle or Kristy Noem. They all look the same. They're all one botched procedure away from Laura Loomer Land.

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

Sherrill: "You're blowing money on poorly conceived operations and vanity projects...Retrofitting the Qatari jet to serve as Air Force One costs about $400 million. The parade in D.C. will cost $40 million. Your campaign in Yemen cost about a $1 billion. Operations in LA will cost tens of millions."

A man with a green card said ICE agents arrested him in #Lynn, Mass then took him to a detention facility—but first made a detour to a cemetery, where they took him out of their vehicle and beat him. #mapoli #Massachusetts

NEW @motherjones.com: Spoke to 6 domestic violence shelters/orgs in LA about the chilling effects of ICE: They’re closing their doors & survivors are afraid to seek help. “DV programs should be safe sanctuaries & we can’t even guarantee that anymore,” one said. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Sen. Alex Padilla was just removed from Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles (video: Bill Melugin/Fox News)

Goldman: "These are people doing in the right way, who are nonviolent, noncriminal, and they're getting arrested. So what message does that send? Obviously it sends the message, 'Go further underground. Don't appear in court. Don't pay your taxes' ... that's just going to make the public less safe."

Brody King shared a post about what is happening in LA right now on Instagram. #AEW 🤼

This is remarkably incoherent even for him. But I especially like the notion that these evil criminals are applying to pick crops and mop hotel bathrooms.

Mother of 2 (including 9-wk-old baby) + wife of US Marine had USCIS interview related to permanent residence status. She'd entered US from Mexico and was legally processed w/ her family about a decade ago. ICE arrested her over 2018 paperwork issue she didn't know about www.wbrz.com/news/ice-age...
