➡️"At the start of Pride Month, Pete Hegseth ordered the Navy to strip Harvey Milk's name from a ship... A man who served with honor—erased to send a message. This is a deliberate insult to LGBTQ Troops and Americans that weakens our force and shreds the values we fight for." -VoteVets

People who are poor enough to be on Medicaid are incredibly unlikely to land jobs that offer employer-provided health insurance. They are far more likely to be gig workers. Only about 63% of working-age adults in the US have employer-provided health insurance.

NEW FROM CBO: 16 MILLION people will lose their health care because of House Republicans. That’s the equivalent of stripping the entire populations of Pennsylvania and Mississippi of their health care. Just because Republicans aren't reading their own bill, doesn't mean we aren't. 🧵

Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE. Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings. This mess is escalating fast.

Every time someone quotes one of my posts and states that Missourians deserve to go hungry because the state went for Trump, remember that over 40% of the state voted for Harris. And, children don’t vote. Children are the ones who will go hungry...

These “deficit hawks” spent weeks harrumphing about deficits (not to mention years yelling at us about it), said over and over again they wouldn’t vote to increase debt, got nothing, then voted to add like $5 trillion dollars in borrowing. Just ridiculous human beings

I say without any irony or sarcasm: yes, thank you, we want parliamentary sabotage. Again, I'm 100% serious. It's one of the few things a minority party can do, and which Republicans themselves did. It's essential.

I hope white people working in these federal agencies find their voices and actively start REFUSING to be parties to this bullshit. Canceling events focused in specific communities is racist and asinine.

Seriously? Fuck these people. This is important information for me as a consumer. Even if I didn't care about the planet, which I do, I'm gonna care about the size of my power bill. This move helps nobody.

An immigration judge was fired mid-hearing and forced to walk out in the middle of a case. One of dozens who were abruptly let go without cause via email. This is how the Trump admin is addressing our backlogged immigration system. It’s as if they want it to implode. www.latimes.com/cali...

This is much the same logic as arresting the judge in WI. There is obviously nothing wrong with asking law enforcement, including masked officials, to confirm they are, in fact, law enforcement. The goal is to create an absolutely subservient population.
