The BIG BEAUTIFUL BETRAYAL BILL isn’t just dollars. It impacts kids with needs, lifesaving needs. Needs that help them become thriving members of society.

No name. No badge. No ID. No warrant. Face covered. That’s not an officer that’s an armed thug with government protection. If you can’t show who you are or why you’re detaining someone, you have no business laying a hand on them.

Tens of thousands flee Gaza City after Israel warns of major offensive

As scholars recoil at Trump's efforts to crush major American universities and gut scientific research, Canada sees the chance to benefit from what may be the beginning of a US brain drain. @matinastevis.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/06/28/w...

I mean, look, if Mamdani actually had invented time travel, went back in time and invented Twitter so it existed six years before it was created, to tweet about something that happened when he was 9 yeas old, with a picture of him at age 33, well... then maybe it's something to talk about...

Republicans in the House and Senate ARE the death panels youtube.com/shorts/rFBwz...

ICE does not behave as law enforcement. They have no badges, often no prominent identification and hide their faces behind masks. They kidnap and brutalize people whose only crime is coming here to work.

Pass it on…👇 Let’s. Do. This. For. Them. 😎✨

I know this is 3 months old, but it feels like maybe time to remind folks of this useful, accurate change in terminology by at least one media outlet.

Every major health system in Louisiana is warning Speaker Mike Johnson and the rest of the state’s congressional delegation that the Senate GOP’s planned Medicaid cuts “would be historic in their devastation.”

Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves. If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such. 🚨 Yesterday, an L.A. man was arrested for impersonating a federal agent. Loaded gun, fake documents, cop gear and even blinking & blue on his car

A corrupt system is when you need 60 Senate votes to protect voting rights, universal healthcare, reproductive rights, climate justice, lgbtq rights, immigration justice, and a living wage—but only 51 votes to strip them all away. #BigScamBill 1/3

The Ethics and Public Policy Center was directly involved in anti trans-anti glbtq lobbying. Leonard Leo is EPPC board. It made news recently w its debunked mifepristone “report.” Mary Hasson is on Napa board and wife of Becket Fund founder. Leo is on BF board. www.ncronline.org/news/2-conse...

They need to do what they demanded Bernie's supporters do " vote blue no matter who "

Dozens of Marines are now patrolling the border near Campo, California. Not just in support roles, but shoulder to shoulder with Border Patrol. A direct challenge to the Posse Comitatus Act, which bans the military from civilian law enforcement.

Remember Collins and Murkowski could have stopped this. People who lose healthcare coverage will die because of them

Another data point for my argument that nothing in this world makes Gregg Abbott happier than the needless suffering of children. School shootings, razor wire at the border, preventable diseases, health care reductions … if it will lead to more dead kids, the governor is all for it.

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden: They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it. 5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.

Trump is up to something, he's been barricading the White House and US treasury overnight.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

McConnell is correct that MAGA “will get over” the big beautiful bill, because you don’t know this! Mitch McConnell is urging Republicans to pass the Big Beautiful Bill because MAGA 'will get over it.' If they learn about our economic system as presented here, they won't.

This sentence, typed in her dissent, should scare the living fuck out of everyone in this country. "This Supreme Court is an existential threat to the rule of law." – Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

NEW: Oklahoma will expect high school students to study debunked 2020 election conspiracies this fall, embedding Trump’s lies into public school curriculum. Teachers and parents are pushing back. From: @yuniorarivas.bsky.social

Litman: The irony of this just spillth over—because the Biden administration was subject to nationwide injunction after nationwide injunction in cases that didn’t warrant it. And they asked the Supreme Court, “Guys, can you do something about this?” The Republican justices declined to do so.

Please retweet, people need to know!

I’ve made it a mission to go and see the PERMIAN BASIN! It must be the most polluted land in the US already! The wells of residents are already poisoned! Those people thought the govt would make sure their water was potable! My fear is the AQUIFER! Fracking will poison that entire body of water!

People freaking out about having a socialist in the NYC mayoral residence but OK with having a fascist in the White House.

Seems like the Democratic establishment is underestimating the potential downside of extinguishing the enthusiasm for Zohran when it comes to other races down the line. Then they’ll wonder why the energy isn’t there, and blame everyone but themselves. Lather, rinse, repeat.

In Trump v. Casa, @stevespaulding.bsky.social tells @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy the Supreme Court went "out of its way to make it more difficult for courts to reign in" executive overreach. While "it narrowed the tools available to block illegal conduct ... there are other tools available."
