Bernie, you rascal! You’re spot on here.

Dozens of protesters, many in wheelchairs, protested proposed cuts to Medicaid during a congressional hearing.⁠ ⁠ The #BigBadBill will reduce Medicaid spending by $625 billion over 10 years & leave millions uninsured, ☎️ your Senators & say “Hell no!” 202-224-3121

Republicans snuck a line into their "big beautiful bill” that could CLOSE nearly 200 Planned Parenthood locations. And guess what? 90% of those centers would be in states where abortion is LEGAL. It’s one step closer to banning abortion nationwide.

Proud to have scooped the NYT by two days on this!

⚡️Trump quietly pressuring Senate to weaken Russia sanctions, WSJ reports. The White House reportedly asked Sen. Graham to insert waivers into the bill allowing Trump to choose which entities get sanctioned and changing the word "shall" to "may."

Vance is definitely Team MUSK/Theil.

So much GOP hypocrisy & gaslighting Trump & RFK Jr pledged to Make America Health Again. Even branded it MAHA But Trump's Big Bill calls for a 20% INCREASE in subsidies to sugar producers who already get $4,000,000,000 a year in taxpayer funded subsidies

TRUMP is reportedly…. 😵‍💫 PREPARING a LARGE SCALE FEDERAL DEFUNDING of CALIFORNIA 🚩 CALIFORNIA pays MUCH MORE taxes into the federal government than it receives in benefits. ‼️ Get ready for a FIGHT 👊🏼 www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

They want to eliminate all social safety nets that were established after the great depression under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The great depression that was caused by the ultra rich 100 years ago, just like the ultra rich are doing today.

"That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy." - Robert Reich #TaxBillionaires

One thing I keep thinking of is that Republican policies are making it harder for women to live safe, prosperous, dignified, and independent lives—and that Trump’s cuts have targeted the bodies whose work would track women’s disappearance from the public sphere and make it quantifiable.

PLEASE read this one. Kinda required reading. If you agree, which I hope you do, print in color and magnetically attach to your refrigerator. It is marvelous and very clear to all who visit: this is what we stand for. PERIOD.

Tucked inside the 1,200-page appendix to the White House’s budget request to Congress is a proposal to eliminate a grant program that provides domestic violence shelters with money to support survivors’ pets. So yeah, Republicans want to ban survivors' pets from domestic violence shelters.

This is my FAVORITE for the WEEK! Great job, CatWoman! @catwomanresists.bsky.social

Big Oil gets benefits from Republicans 'Big Beautiful bill." Massive cuts to clean energy would go to polluting and drilling, endangering local wildlife and more.

I love this visual. We know the assignment. We The People are the majority 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

That was totally a bunch of Nazis he pardoned for J6. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it.

Netanyahu is a criminal who needs to be held accountable for his international crimes against humanity. It is such a terrible situation for Jewish people around the world given the history of the holocaust. Netanyahu has lost his mind.

Sickening and disgusting just do not cover it.

This is the scumbaggery of the south. What pathetic excuses for human beings shut down schools for the severely disabled? REPUBLIKKKANS. They would prefer all old people, disabled people, ill people and anyone not heterosexual just fuck off and die. And they are working hard to make it happen.

Gun violence shouldn't be a fact of life for our kids. Letting this uniquely American issue continue is a choice; inaction is a choice — here in IL, our choice is to save lives. We've banned the sale of assault weapons, expanded background checks, and extended red flag laws.

It's time for all those who believe in democratic ideals to step-up.

Here’s the cold hard truth of what Trump is doing on immigration: They are rounding up only the people who have taken steps to become legal OR workers from work sites. People who work, NOT criminals. Is that what you voted for??

Not a single tweet in defense of Trump from JD Vance after Elon called for Trump to be impeached and for Vance to take over. Pretty telling...

MIKE JOHNSON: From the people who mandated mask wearing for years, it's absurd. They need to back off ICE & respect our agents Q: So you're ok w/agents not identifying themselves when they're arresting migrants? J: Why, so they can target them? So they can put names and faces online and dox them?

Republikkkans are immoral unethical lying racist scumbags. A more disgusting group of humans I haven't seen other than the Proud Boys Marching with the NAZIS and their torches on American streets. But they were only a little more disgusting.

My latest: Jasmine Crockett is clear choice to lead Oversight Dems I told you I wouldn’t pick sides in this race because I don’t have a vote. Then I realized it’s up to all of us to make sure our party gets this one right. 3,421 words. Please consider reading and passing this along!

Lock the compromised prostitute up and throw away the key.

“One Big Beautiful Bill”? Try one big, bold-faced lie. They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise. $2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what? Tax cuts for the rich.
