If Christian Nationalist parents are allowed to have their kids opt-out of any books that dare mention anyone gay, then all the other parents should be allowed to let their kids opt-out from the Ten Commandments.

REPORT: Trump/MAGA budget bill could “add $3.5 to $4.2 trillion to the debt.” National debt for all of us to give billionaires massive handouts. Let’s be clear: The Republican Party is not “the party of fiscal responsibility.” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer www.crfb.org/blogs/senate...

This damning ruling will undermine the courts' ability to rein in Trump's lawlessness and hold him accountable. Justice Sotomayor said it best: “No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.”

Yet another ICE impersonator caught. How many are they not catching? As @MarshaBlackburn @SenJohnson & Sexton try to protect masked unidentified vigilantes with legislation— we should be banning this dangerous insanity instead.

After the last few months, we shouldn’t be surprised by the moral abyss that is ICE. With a daily quota to fill, masked and anonymous ICE agents have been terrorizing people up and down the nation: smashing into workplaces, homes, colleges, and wegotthiscovered.com/news/were-ju...

The "big, ugly bill" is going to fire 20,000 health care workers in Kentucky. That's 20,000 people who won't be able to pay rent, afford groceries or care for their families. This isn't something folks can "get over." Raise your voice and demand to stop this harmful bill.

The Supreme Court just released its opinion in the birthright citizenship case. Here’s the big takeaway: the Court tightened the rules on when a single judge can issue a nationwide injunction, instead of deciding the fate of birthright citizenship. That’s still a big problem.

Today's ruling on birthright citizenship allows presidents to do what judges have ruled illegal, writes @pemalevy.bsky.social. No matter how brazenly unconstitutional a presidential act may be, the courts cannot protect anyone who does not personally sue or is unable to join a class action lawsuit.

Trump said that he would focus on deporting violent criminals. The facts? He deported a 4yo American child with cancer, a gay makeup artist seeking asylum, and a landscaper and father to three U.S. Marines. This must stop now.

Millions of working people rely on Medicaid. If they are laid off, spending all day every day looking for a job will not be good enough to meet new work requirements. If they take too long to find a new job--which most people will, when unemployment is high--they'll lose their health care. 1/x

We’ve talked about “Alligator Alcatraz” before. Here are more details. Starting the first week of July, when South Florida’s heat index regularly hits 100°F, they plan to detain up to 5,000 people in tents. No A/C. No real shelter. Just suffocating heat, choking humidity, and swarms of mosquitoes.
