u can completely free up your future vacation schedule sir

I'm experiencing a profound dissonance as I purchase 4th of July fireworks for the kids while knowing that our nation's liberties hard-earned by declaring our independence from a fucking king in 1776 are now under attack by a new fucking king in 2025. So ... when is Declaration of Independence 2.0?

Send them ALL to Mars! 🔴

The Jan 6 insurrection should’ve been the red line resulting in the orange felon being sent to prison, yet he was given full totalitarian power over the govt. Congress died when they chose to let him and his 147 insurrectionists in Congress get away with it.

These are the stories I have been hearing from those who will be affected by the harsh measures in this bill. People, in red and blue states, whose lives will be affected by Trump's Big Ugly cuts to programs like SNAP.

If Musk really cared, he'd be taking meetings with Republican senators and bribing them to vote no.

Wow! Scientists engineered E. coli to convert plastic waste (PET) into pain medicine paracetamol (acetaminophen or Tylenol) in under 24 hours with up to 92% yield. www.nature.com/articles/d41... #medsky #pharmsky 🧪

Because there’s already not *enough* dirty money in politics? 🙄 FUCK the #GOP shills for oligarchs! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

📌Just heard a spot on NPR detailing this disgusting Republican, fascist, reward-the-billionaires, kill-the-people, kill-the-environment bill, and they cut to Chuck Schumer. He sounded like your 98-year-old grandfather who's upset about his burned toast. We really gotta get rid of this guy ...

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.

We have “a chief justice who schizophrenically imagines he can both credibly urge caution toward judges and ignore his own role in contributing to violence against judges and other lawlessness by exacerbating Trump’s power.” open.substack.com/pub/america/...

The reverse Robin Hood: take from the poor to give to the rich.

The largest Medicaid cuts in history so billionaires can get another tax break while adding trillions to the national debt seems like a catastrophically bad idea. Kill the bill.

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.

Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" will continue to be debated but in the end it will likely pass. And the #GOP shills-for-oligarchs will force Americans to transfer trillions of dollars from average folks to the rich. BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL FUCKING GHOULS. Call your Representatives! 5calls.org

(S) The symbolism couldn't be more direct: truth as a target to be eliminated.

🚨This bill is straight-up class warfare. Trillions for billionaires, scraps for the rest of us. They gut healthcare, starve kids, and hand cash to war profiteers. If they think people will stay quiet forever, they’re dead wrong. Enough is enough‼️

Senator Murkowski cut a backroom deal to exempt Alaska from Medicaid cuts, but the Senate parliamentarian shut it down. Protecting your own state while harming millions elsewhere is selfishness and disgusting.

Wisdom of crowd: Excepting the "But her emails" plague of 2016, name a worse / more credulous / more revealing NYT headline than this one, two weeks ago. h/t @realbenisons.bsky.social

Every major health system in Louisiana is warning Speaker Mike Johnson and the rest of the state's congressional delegation that the Senate GOP's Medicaid cuts "would be historic in their devastation." www.politico.com/live-updates...

Your now-regular reminder that no tax cut has ever paid for itself

At 7:06pm ET, the sergeant of arms just removed a very vocal protester from the Senate gallery after he continually yelled they were “awful” and “horrible” for trying to pass current budget bill.

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.

I was flipping through channels and caught the closing highlights of the end of the 🌸 Cherry Blossom Parade in DC. A real parade. So fun and refreshing after that dreary, dreadful, psychotic, oppressive thing we had to endure the other week.

Adriana Smith, the Atlanta mother who was declared brain-dead but kept medically alive under Georgia’s anti-abortion law, has been laid to rest. www.yahoo.com/news/funeral...

Lisa Murkowski and John Thune deserve this. Trying to exempt Alaska from odious parts of this bill to buy her vote is overruled by parliamentarian. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

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

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.

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."
