We’re back! Big thank you to everyone who tagged the hell out of instagram & threads to get us reinstated. (We still have no idea why we were banned) Especially you threads folks! We see y’all. We were touched by the outpouring of support. 🙏🏽

Yep. Gone on threads again 🤷🏼‍♂️

WATCH: Kanew warns Dems who won’t back @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social they underestimate the impact of extinguishing young new energy he has brought to the party if they help (Trump sellout) Adams

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

The wildest part about us getting banned on instagram and threads and all meta platforms without warning or explanation is not even being able to get in touch with a human being about it. Dystopian, Orwellian shit.

After mostly shrugging off Trump’s assault on government for the last five months, establishment Democrats have finally found something to be outraged about: Zohran Mamdani’s primary win.

KARL: What about the Iranian uranium? LINDSEY GRAHAM: The 900 pounds? It's still out there

you know, if i were in the position of interviewing jeffries here, i would ask the congressman to specify exactly when and where mamdani used that language.

Yes, she did. That’s the true sign of Murkowski’s ultimate weakness.

If the bill passes, it will make ICE the nation’s largest jailer, with more funding for prison camps than the entire federal Bureau of Prisons. It would give ICE enough money to have more officers than the entire FBI.

Mark Warner: "It will move us as a nation aback to the same percentage of uninsured we had before Obamacare. It's not like these people are not gonna get sick. They're gonna show up at the emergency room. Rural hospitals are gonna shut down ... it's cruel"

This was 5 weeks ago, but when Mamdani won the primary to be the Democratic nominee Jeffries responded immediately with non-support of a fellow Democrat. What does that tell you?

Whoa! Alligator Alcatraz is going to be complete by Tuesday and open for operation on Wednesday. Am I the only one wondering how Ron DeSantis got this together so fast? Floridians, make sure you remember this the next time a hurricane hits and you can’t get disaster relief in your state.

Stunning how media has turned passage of the Abominable Bill into a will they-or-won't they romcom with a July 4th deadline for Cinderella to kiss the prince, rather than a situation in which multiple members of Congress say they're terrified they or their families will be killed if they cross Trump

poll after poll shows that Trump's big bill is very unpopular

The Trump administration has released a three-time felon and five-time deported immigrant because he's going to testify against zero-time felon Abrego - all to cover their tracks for mistakenly and illegally sending Abrego to El Salvador and then lying about it to the court to cover it up.

The budget bill contains tens of billions to fund an army of 10,000 more ICE agents. This is a red alert moment for our democracy.

The best way to support my campaign right now is to donate. If you QT the video below with a screenshot of your donation, I will reply with a picture of my cat, Heater. This was her making biscuits on my legs last night.

😡😡

Rather unobliterated

Massive amounts of money get wasted in politics and many people don't even know what happens to their money after donating. So here's how I've spent my campaign's resources over the last three months:

Priscilla Chan’s decision to stop funding the school she opened to help struggling families shows the risks for communities reliant on wealthy private donors.

Well, this we can agree on, even Senator Thom Tillis is calling out his own colleagues: “Too many elected officials are motivated by pure raw politics who don’t really give a damn about the people they promised to represent on the campaign trail,” the North Carolina Republican wrote.

Republicans want 1.1 *trillion* dollars in cuts to Americans' health care. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/u...

WAPO EXCLUSIVE: New intel via an intercepted call shows top Iranian officials were surprised Trump’s recent strikes on Iran’s nuclear program were less destructive and intensive than expected.

Exclusive: Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes is a three-time felon who has been released early from federal prison to a halfway house in exchange for his cooperation in the federal prosecution of Kilmar Abrego García.

Breaking News (Washington Post): Intercepted call captures Iranian officials saying U.S. attack on nuclear sites was less devastating than they expected

No name. No badge. No ID. No warrant. Face covered. That’s not an officer that’s an armed thug with government protection. If you can’t show who you are or why you’re detaining someone, you have no business laying a hand on them.

“I canceled Obama’s nuclear inspection program, then I bombed Iran. Now, I am offering them pallets of $30 billion in cash, plus another $6 billion, if they agree to negotiate Obama’s plan. It’s called the Art of the Deal.”

Evil incarnate.

💯 true. Deport her.

NOTE TO SELF: Next time google “what does this political party believe” before giving them $277 million

Chris Murphy: "The CBO, nonpartisan, says it's gonna kick between 10 and 15 million people off their healthcare. And for what? To be able to afford a new $270,000 tax cut for the richest families in the country ... it's a moral abomination."

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

Every single word spent dishonestly attacking Zohran is a word not spent attacking Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, which Republicans are trying to pass as we speak. Jeffries is failing to meet the moment.

NBC has factually confirmed that AT LEAST 120,000 of the 185,000 people thus far kidnaped/disappeared/unjustly sent to hellish US & foreign prisons like CECOT; who may never see their children nor freedom again - HAVE ZERO CRIMINAL RECORDS. Trump cronies claim that 6% are accused of capital crimes??

A corrupt system is when you need 60 Senate votes to protect voting rights, universal healthcare, reproductive rights, climate justice, lgbtq rights, immigration justice, and a living wage—but only 51 votes to strip them all away. #BigScamBill 1/3

It was so nice to meet you, Jo!!! Thank you for stopping by! Can’t wait to win this with you 💕💕

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.

Hmmm… 🤔 Very interesting and eye opening… 👇 Canada has a lot of power… Canada holds the cards… #Canada #elbowsup youtube.com/watch?v=41K7...

We are just 6 months in… the amount of cruelty seems to be never ending. 😢 So much pain, anguish, cruelty, & harm are being intentionally inflicted onto our population. Are these considered crimes against humanity? (Even folks not directly involved are suffering) Class action lawsuits?

Stealing from the poor, giving to the rich, at a time when inequality is already at record levels. Inequality is the thing that holds us back most — and this Republican bill exacerbates it. (Again) #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Sen. Hawley a yes on exactly the thing he says we can’t be doing

Democrats have forced the entire reading of the bigly stupid bill. I'm watching live now. www.youtube.com/live/qA9bTfN...

They demand Zohran Mamdani be deported for offering free childcare. They cream their jeans over the thought of an Alligator Alcatraz. Truly evil, vile, miserable people that only want the worst for everyone.

But…that’s exactly what you are doing

We can afford to blow up cities on the narcissistic whim of a diapered demagogue who plays real-life Risk from a golf cart. But we can’t afford lunch for a hungry child in Ohio? open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...
