'Gonna look kind of bad': ABC News head told 'The View' hosts to tone down Trump criticism https://twp.ai/4imoox

When does an alien get a "reasonable fear" hearing & how does that work if they are being deported to a 3rd party country? Did the gov't violate a court order by denying them due process? Read up, here: joycevance.substack.com/p/welcome-to...

Six members of Congress have died in office over the last 16 months • Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va. • Rep. Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz. • Rep. Sylvester Turner, D-Texas • Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., D-N.J. • Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas • Rep. Donald Payne Jr.; D-N.J.

US House Republicans set pre-dawn votes to get Trump tax bill over finish line reut.rs/3SONa8w

Republicans snuck an amendment into this bill to ban Affordable Care Act insurance plans from covering abortion care. This is part of their play for a national abortion ban, in the middle of the night, and ripping healthcare away from millions.

It’s past midnight and House Republicans are *still* fighting to give more money to the richest 10% and take money away from the poorest 10%. They can try to spin this all they want, but this would worsen inequality, economic growth, and our deficit.

Very sad news. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

For all the shit talking people direct at Dems, they really are fighting this thing tooth and nail and they deserve a whole lot of credit

@warren.senate.gov: "They're fighting over how many children should go hungry so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island."

Holding truth to power as a conscientious dissenter in an authoritarian system is an act defined by personal sacrifice and moral courage. Authoritarian regimes rely on control—of information, public opinion, and fear—to maintain power. (1/6)

OMG I can't breathe right now. I knew it would come to Phoenix, but I'm still not emotionally prepared!! #OnYourSide Trying to get more info, and find out what I can do.

Makes perfect sense

Similar to what was seen in multiple cities yesterday. These folks were swarmed by ICE and taken without warning or access to lawyers after leaving their immigration hearing. If you or anyone you know has to go to immigration court, don’t go alone. We keep us safe.

This is that really effective combo shot we just learned about, the FDA is bullying new vaccines out of reach for Americans 😭 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Republicans Sneak Massive Medicare Cuts Into Their Horrid Tax Bill newrepublic.com/post/195553/... via @newrepublic.com

Mahmoud Khalil should be celebrating his graduation from Columbia today. Instead, he's sitting in a detention center in Louisiana and ICE just denied his request to hold his newborn son for the first time.

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

BREAKING: MeidasTouch, the nation’s top independent pro-democracy media network, is proud to announce that attorney and renowned legal analyst Katie Phang has launched a brand-new YouTube channel in partnership with MeidasTouch. Subscribe now: youtube.com/@katiephangnews

Jake Tapper is such a sleazy, slithering little shit goblin. I swear on the love of all things fuck, I'm gonna do everything I can to exploit his terminal decline for profit if he ever gets diagnosed with cancer. Fuck that overpaid pompous prick and his shitty ghost written book.

Do I need to spell out who this bill is really for?

Boyle: "This is really the breaking news ... because of the size of the deficits, because of the paygo act, that would trigger sequestration of Medicare, and it would total over $500 billion. The official figure that CBO confirms is $535 billion in cuts to Medicare."

💥💥💥

“This bill contains half the planet’s kitchen sinks.” Maha nails it. GOP wants to cram every grift, cut, and con into one bill so Trump can dodge Senate rules. It’s chaos wrapped in cruelty.

Hey, if the media is interested in a cover-up of a senile president who's not really in control of his White House, there's one going on right now?

Nothing ironic about this. Control the hyper local news beat the same way Sinclair et al control the local TV news.

When I got this last week, I was floored. What child should have to ‘borrow’ money to be fed? One of the most grotesque things that I have ever seen 🤬

Angie Craig: "I have no idea why we think it's a good idea to repeal a tax on silencers when we are going to feed fewer children in our country as a result of this. It's a moral damn failure is what it is."

It's apparently not enough to slash Medicaid & SNAP and take healthcare & food away from millions. Republicans' Big Ugly Bill would also slash Medicare, the federal health insurance program for seniors. Just to give billlionaires even more tax breaks. The cruelty is truly the point.

BREAKING: Republicans Aren't Just Cutting Medicaid, They Are Cutting Medicare open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Dingell: They are going to rip healthcare away from almost 14 million people. When I was at home, a mother had her child in a wheelchair and started crying on the elevator—she wanted me to promise her that her child would still be able to go to the doctor. Children’s Hospital in Detroit—

When he showed up to an immigration meeting in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen thought he was on the verge of becoming a citizen. Then ICE arrested the Mississippi father of four, not even giving him a chance to say goodbye to his wife, whisking him away to a prison. @nickjudin.bsky.social reports:

Jeffries: There are three big issues with the bill 1. It represents the largest cut to healthcare in American history. 2. It represents the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history. 3. All of this is being done to enact the largest tax break for billionaires in American history.

They wanted to pass this evil budget to take away healthcare from millions earlier today. It’s still stuck in the rules committee cause House Dems introduced over 500 amendments and we are lined up to debate on them. Delaying is important. Keep up the pressure on these Congressional Republicans.

The GOP loves blaming the national debt on govt spending that helps millions of people. What they won't tell you? The real culprit is giveaways to corporations and the rich. If not for the regressive tax cuts under Bush & Trump, we would have a stable debt-to-GDP ratio.

Trump: "The G7 used to be the G8 but brilliantly they threw Russia out. Would have been a lot better if Russia was in...If Russia was in you probably wouldn't have this war." Russia was kicked out of the G8 after invading Ukraine in 2014.

Project 2025 calls for the elimination of the Civil Rights division at the DOJ

You can’t make this up: House Republicans *snuck in a tanning bed tax break*—in the same damn bill that slashes Medicaid, shutters hospitals, and steals beds from cancer patients. No wonder they vote in the dead of night.🙄 @fernandez.house.gov

We’re talking a lot about Medicaid, but this bill is more than that. Little Lobbyists know how to fight for the ACA, and this bill threatens that, too. @scholten.house.gov : “I’m not closing my eyes. I’m paying attention to every single thing that is in here that is going to hurt … Americans.”

BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers. They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.
