All we need are four Republicans in the Senate to stand up to Donald Trump. That’s all it takes to stop his plan to gut Medicaid so he can give a tax break to rich people. Keep up the pressure.

I know it is easy to get distracted with all the horrors going down every day, but don't forget that yesterday, the bribe-takin' US Supreme Court put its seal of approval on gratuitous human trafficking. These are evil times.

💰 WATCH: “How is that happening?” 🤷🏼‍♂️ @aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. 🤔

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

Trump just declared war on Iran unilaterally in a direct violation of the Constitution. The Republicans in Congress will just roll over and Fox News will cover his ass.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

Hey - the genius of American science created life-saving medical treatments, but the geniuses from Tesla and SpaceX fired everyone we need to administer them to patients. But, don’t worry, we’ve authorized hiring some contractors. They’ll be ready by Christmas, if your cancer hasn’t spread too far.

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

Can someone please ask Karoline Leavitt why the Director of White House Personnel refuses to say what country he is from and refuses to complete paperwork for a background check? Can you also ask if “Sergio Gor” is the name on his birth certificate. Seems kinda important.

We now know that the GOP's Big Ugly bill would allow for the sale of 250 MILLION acres of public land. 5.4 million in Washington state. We can't let them jam this through in secret. Help me say it loud and clear for Republicans: Public lands belong in public hands.

“The Trump Organization has consistently made use of temporary visa programs to hire foreign workers for Mar-a-Lago, four golf clubs and his Virginia winery—filing to bring in at least 1,880 seasonal workers since 2008.” www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Serious question: I don’t understand why more states don’t pass laws that prohibit ALL law enforcement, operating within their jurisdiction, from wearing masks during arrests. Why isn’t this being pursued? @governorwalz.mn.gov @govpritzker.illinois.gov @governor.ca.gov @govwesmoore.bsky.social

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Trump just fired the three Democratic members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The CPSC regulates the safety of everyday consumer products. Guess who recently sued the agency and claimed that it's "unconstitutional"? Amazon. Connect the dots.
