@democrats.org cut the ads now and run them in Alaska, Maine, Kentucky, etc…now!

Senate Republicans dropped a nearly 1,000-page “Big Beautiful Bill” in the DEAD OF THE NIGHT. And they want to vote on it TODAY. Trump is jamming through a bill that rips away health care, closes hospitals, raises grocery and utility bills to give tax breaks to billionaires.

Remember: Ds must make this a career-ender for every R who votes for this monstrously cruel bill

Senate Republicans released the full text of their massive tax and spending bill that contains many of President Trump's top campaign promises. Here's a look at what's in and what's out. By @elenamoore.bsky.social

"This is going to devastate the economy. If it shuts down 35 rural hospitals in Kentucky, the second-largest employers in each of the counties, every doctor, every nurse, every orderly, every custodian loses their job." @andybeshearky.bsky.social on GOP healthcare cuts, with @citizencohn.bsky.social

NOTE: Be careful when seeing quick takes here. This is a series of long and complex opinions, with significant questions about how the next steps will play out.

This sounds…familiar.

The U.S. economy shrank at a 0.5% annual pace from January through March as President Donald Trump's import taxes at least temporarily disrupted business, the Commerce Department reported Thursday in a a downgrade from its previous estimate.

Ossoff: We usually get this, which specifies how many folks you intend to employ. What we have is a 26-page PowerPoint. Here, it specifies about $17 billion in cuts to medical services. Who are you cutting? Collins: We’ll have more information as we go forward.

I’m still waiting for that cease fire.

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

I truly do not think that if Trump has campaign on “if I win, we will bomb Iran” that he would have won.

Well, I can only think of one way….

You would question anyone’s competency if they said something this crazy.

Senate looked at House Medicaid cuts and said hold our beer. Deeper cuts will kill more than 51,000(under House bill). Any R who votes for this should be turned out of office.

Let's also not forget that Evers was killed by a white supremacist who was then set free for 30 years after two all-white, all-male juries refused to convict (even though the guy literally had a fresh black eye from the recoil of the gun). Two cops provided false alibis for him, too.

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

This is SUCH an important article for pro-democracy 🇺🇸 to read. It chronicles how Georgia went from a flourishing baby democracy to authoritarian hell practically overnight. THIS is what’s happening right here. I’ve posted a couple excerpts, but read the whole thing.

Oh this will sting his brittle ego. I love it.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

This is MAGA's one, big, beautiful healthcare plan.

Exclusive: Elon Musk tried to use his relationship with President Trump to derail Sam Altman's AI data-center deal in Abu Dhabi

In U.S. v. Lovett (1946), the Supreme Court held that not even Congress, in a bill signed by POTUS, may cut off all contracts with a named individual or organization: that’d be an unconstitutional bill of attainder. Only courts can decide who deserves to be punished. SoTrump can’t do it with an EO!

Tom Homan, one of the top officials behind the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, is facing questions after it was revealed he was paid by a private prison company that stands to profit from the government’s detention policies.

Donald Trump’s inner circle is charging $5 million for a private dinner with a president. But at least they aren’t hiding his cognitive decline from the press the way that Biden’s inner circle did.

This is Harvard saying “FAFO” to the Trump regime. Would love to see this happen at all schools in the blue state and local levels as well!

House Republicans smuggled this👇attack on the federal judiciary into their reconciliation bill. Courts rarely require plaintiffs to post security, so this provision, if passed into law, would render a vast number of existing judgments—including Boasberg's contempt order—effectively unenforceable.

A National Weather Service office in Kentucky was scrambling to cover the overnight forecast on Friday as severe storms moved through much of the eastern U.S. The office is one of several left without an overnight forecaster as a result of cuts ordered by the Department of Government Efficiency.

Salute those that own you.

Lame and insulting to veterans.

The house revealed a budget plan that eliminates the Head Start program. There are currently almost 780,000 children enrolled in Head Start who will suffer the loss of this program. This shows republicans never cared about children but controlling women. #MomSky #Voices4Victory
