Whoa! 😳 $15 billion from one tax break…INSANE. This bill MUST be stopped 🛑

Makes algorithms the perfect delivery mechanism

Shifts for 6/25: 10AM-12PM ET with the Alliance for Retired Americans 11AM-12:30PM ET with @indivisible.org 11AM *and* 5PM ET with the Medicaid Defenders 5:30PM, 7:15PM, and 9:00PM ET with Together for CA Health 6PM-8PM ET with @moveon.org (Links in the replies)

These are the people who have been killed by Trump and Musk's sudden execution of USAID. You damn well do not get to look away from this.

 Medicaid is the backbone of the care that Charlie receives. "When I hear that some of our elected officials are suggesting that we're all just gonna die someday and that I should stop being so concerned about these budget cuts, I'm filled with rage."

Hardly the worst thing—because there are so many terrible things in this murder budget—but remarkable that Senate Republicans are trying to jam through a bill that will close MULTIPLE hospitals in the GOP's Speaker of the House's district.

I wrote about how the effects of Monday's Supreme Court decision on due process for immigrants will expand the scope and severity of concentration camp–style detention in the U.S. and abroad—and covered some of the many ways we can fight it.

The ultimate post-Dobbs heel turn. Shift your focus to giving babies HIV

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

Yes, even the one you're trying not to picture.

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

Just watched 'Surviving Ohio State' documentary on MAX. Yup. Jim Jordan comes out looking like a desparate lying enabler of sexual abuse. Highly recommend. Hard to watch.

The rest of the free world BETTER step up, because I guarantee you, Ukraine will be the first to either prevail or fall, and the rest of the world will be next. Evil madmen are testing us for our appetite to defend freedom. alerts.in.ua/en

From Canada. "...and Elon Musk, as the Beaver."

No money left for defending Ukraine: (Cheney's Halliburton were awarded 40 billion in contracts.) www.ft.com/content/7f43...

Shameful. I expect they will be sued.👇 "Nearly 100,000 North Carolina voters will be required to take an additional step to verify their identity or risk being disenfranchised under a plan approved by the GOP-controlled state board of elections Tuesday." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Medicaid, the health insurance program that covers around 1 in 5 Americans, may be in for some of the biggest changes in its 60-year history. New @pewresearch.org analysis answers common questions about the sprawling – and popular – federal/state program: www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

BREAKING: Emil Bove - whose judicial confirmation hearing is tomorrow - told lawyers to tell the courts to “fuck off” if they ordered the planes to El Salvador to turn around - per whistleblower Erez Reuveni. Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...

Excited to find one of these! This is an adult male Phileurus truncatus (called 'triceratops beetles' tho I argue Strategus deserves that name), an oddly carnivorous rhinoceros beetle! A first for me!! 🪲🪲🪲

An administration that claims to be obsessed with eliminating waste should look no further than the Sentinel ICBM program. @mknight.bsky.social and I have done a deep dive into the system; we explore why the program is so behind schedule, over-budget, and poorly managed. 👇 fas.org/publication/...

A very interesting news follow is @ncnewsline.com Just sayin.

Democratic state attorneys general vowed Monday on Capitol Hill to continue legal challenges against President Donald Trump’s “outrageous overreach” through executive orders to strip birthright citizenship, impose staggering global tariffs, thwart lifesaving medical research and more. #ncpol

We knew China's rush to install solar and wind was going to be wild but WOW😮. The solar panels & wind turbines China installed in May alone, in a single month, will generarate as much electricity as: -Poland -Sweden -Norway -the UAE -North Carolina&Maryland or -Washington&Wyoming

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication? RFK JR: I did not fact check RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

This “big, ugly bill” is dangerous and will destroy rural health care. In Kentucky alone, 35 hospitals are under the threat of closing, stripping care from families, cutting jobs and crippling local economies. 1/2

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

If you want to understand the pretzel logic of Trump’s “now is the time for peace” statement, this piece provides the historical background. america2.news/will-trumps-...

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

I love science!

The Dodgers announce they are donating $1 million toward direct financial assistance for families of immigrants impacted by recent events in the region, with more announcements to come.
