Why did Congressional Republicans jam through an unpopular budget with the largest Medicaid cuts in history? It could be because nearly 70% of them would financially benefit from the bill's extension of Trump's tax cuts for the rich. Reverse Robin Hood.

Make no mistake, removing the CDC recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines for kids and pregnant women is going to kill people, and it will disproportionately affect people who cannot afford to pay for vaccines out of pocket. Do not forget that this decision was made without a confirmed CDC Director.

Trump seems to have entered into a new and wilder stage of authoritarian neofascism. No holds barred. Nothing out of bounds. But tyrants cannot succeed where people refuse to submit to them. And we will not submit. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/donald-trump-and-fascism

A recap of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill": Kids go hungry so Jeff Bezos can buy a 3rd yacht. Kids lose health care so Zuckerberg can buy a 2nd Hawaiian island. Seniors lose their nursing home care so Elon Musk can go to Mars. We must fight back with all we've got.

Trump’s Tax Scam will kick nearly 14 million Americans off their healthcare to give billionaires even more tax cuts. If you’ve got a GOP senator, call and demand that they stand up for the families they were elected to serve: act.indivisible.org/...

Donny and the Muskrats greedily grabbing our public lands for private profit. Speaking from both sides of their mouths: we have no authority so don't need to be transparent and ordering cuts to decimate protections. Shameful. 🚫👑 Keep up the resistance.

As Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill moves to the Senate, we must make it clear: There is nothing “beautiful” about giving huge tax breaks to billionaires while cutting health care, nutrition and education for working families. It is grossly immoral and, together, we must defeat it.

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035. Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

I’ll say it again - when any politician uses the ‘I haven’t read that story’ lie about something they knew they would get asked about, the interviewer has a duty to say ‘Okay, in that case I’m going to terminate this interview and you can come back when you’re better prepared.”
