šŸ”„ LIES, LIES, LIES šŸ”„ They lied on national TV. They lied to your face. Speaker Mike Johnson promised no cuts to Medicaid. Trump said the same. But behind closed doors, they worked with Russ Vought to pass a bill that guts Medicaid by $800 billion, ripping coverage from millions... 1/2

ABC News minced no words in tying Trump's actions to jaw-dropping corruption in yesterday's airing of "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." Good for them. It's a must watch if you missed it. www.thewrap.com/george-steph...

Amazing reporting here on how things have backfired on the capitulating law firms and their enabler. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

The Trump regime has proposed cutting a $56 million annual grant program that provides Narcan & training to first responders on how to administer it.Ā  Tell me again that he leads the ā€˜pro-life’ party. 🧾https://www.cbsnews.com/news/overdose-deaths-narcan-naloxone-harm-reduction-samhsa-trump-cuts/

Death to working ppl delivered by thousand cuts & counting. Nationwide, low income job seekers suffer most under the Trump Administration. Labor Department suspends Job Corps centers operations, drawing bipartisan pushback - The Hill apple.news/AqwHYsC6QRxO...

The neo-reactionary blogger Curtis Yarvin’s call for a monarch to rule America once seemed like a joke. Not anymore.

I know the point’s been made but I always imagine that the evil force precipitating the downfall of the republic would be some kind of genius or savant, but instead it’s a guy who profiles as someone who sells watches out of a suitcase and a bunch of C- intro philosophy students.

Here is my breakdown on the major voting rights lawsuits to keep an eye on in court this week. youtu.be/1nJxzdCUcwU

The new top voting lawyer at the Department of Justice was until recently an attorney and activist for a leading anti-voting legal group that has worked for years to spread fear about illegal voting and press election officials to tighten voting rules. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Does that sound fair to you?

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue DON’T EVER THINK…that this is normal. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into believing that this is how a president behaves. If this was 1945 Germany, he’d be hold up in a bunker under the Chancellery living out the final days of his Reich.

As many of you who have followed me for a while know, I lost both my father and my brother to #ALS or #LouGehrigsDisease June 2 is the day to remember this American hero and to raise awareness for the horrific violent disease that took his life. And donate and pray for a cure to #endALS šŸ’™šŸ’™šŸ’™

What do presidential emergency powers have to do with tariffs and the current chaos we’re facing? The answer lies in Congress’s ability to take back some of the power it has delegated to the president. We explain: www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/how-congre...

ā€œWeā€ are zip tying children ! This shit has got to stop .

Not only are parks profitable, they inject billions to local economies and welcome 300+ million people a year. This is yet more wealth extraction to private interests not just from all of us as a nation but hundreds of communities and small businesses.

I haven't seen any other members of Congress taking about ICE (and whoever else is helping ICE) wearing masks and removing badges to hide their identity. Call your Rep &. Senators! Ask them to talk about why ICE / DHS are hiding their identities! 🚨(202) 224-3121

Ashley Biden hinted at the ā€œbulls--tā€ in a photo with the former president and first lady.

The Republican senator offered a glib response to constituent questions at a town hall regarding cuts to Medicaid under the Trump-endorsed One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Outrage grows over a single paragraph buried deep in Republicans' 'Big Beautiful Bill' https://twp.ai/4in4lT

ā€œIf this can happen in a Member of Congress’s office, it can happen to anyone — and it is happening...ā€ www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

It’s the last month for this SCOTUS term, so I put together a little cheat sheet to help you understand the context & significance as the Court announces decisions. With more than 30 left to go, they’ll start coming fast & furious as we get into the month. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

The voucher system is a Trojan horse for privatization. Don't be fooled – it's a threat to public education as we know it. Hands Off Public Schools #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Holy shit. This is what Joni Ernst had to say to a scared Iowan telling her that her attacks on Medicaid and food stamps are going to hurt people.

The guiding forces in today’s GOP are nihilism, narcissism, and sadism.

Lying is and has always been second nature to them.

Right now, we are living in extremely scary timesšŸ˜”

My thoughts are with our Jewish neighbors after another horrifying antisemitic attack, this time in Boulder. Hate has no place in our country.

I’m glad this made the Times.

WSJ: ā€œSupport for law firms that didn’t make deals has been growing — At least 11 big companies are moving work away from law firms that settled with Trump or are giving more business to firms that have been targeted but refused to strike dealsā€¦ā€ www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

It’s striking how often hate toward Jewish Americans is met with silence. In a country that prides itself on justice and free speech, too many look away. Standing up against antisemitism shouldn’t be political—it should be moral. Indifference only fuels it.

Vought wants to dismantle our gov and rebuild it into a dictatorship. His weapon is a fringe legal theory called the ā€œunitary executive.ā€ It claims the president should control the entire executive branch, with šŸš«āœ…s from Congress, no independence for the courts, and no oversight from watchdogs. āŒšŸ‘‘.

Refugees in Kenya have died at food distribution centers, officials noted, including a pregnant woman crushed to death during a stampede. Aid workers said they expected more people to get hurt ā€œas vulnerable households become increasingly desperate.ā€

This is why people across the country need to remain engaged and not give up in the face of oppression
