ICE “bounty hunters” dressed like they’re in a war zone to detain day laborers and a lady selling tacos at a Home Depot in Cypress Park this morning. I’m so sick of these punks!

I’ll never forgive Albanese or the Labor party for the Voice referendum. It’s been open season on Indigenous people ever since then, what an unbelievable, generational fuckup.

AB 130, the budget trailer bill with the broad CEQA exemption for infill housing, is up for final votes today. Here's what to expect: - A vote in the Senate Budget Committee at 12pm - A floor vote in the Assembly around 1pm - A floor vote in the Senate around 2pm - Governor's signature after that

6:05 am. Hour 21 of fighting this awful tax scam. Been up all night, but not going to give up anytime soon. The health care of 17 million Americans is too important not to fight for.

Hey Donald, been 5 weeks since you said you’d have more sanctions on Russia “in two weeks.” Where uh, where are they? NO WAY YOU WERE JUST BLOVIATING RIGHT??? NO WAY

Silver lining?

This is getting embarrassing at this stage. I'm so tired of the negligence and inaction of our government. The sink or swim mentality of this country for minorities is sickening. Get your finger out! gay45.eu/irelands-non...

I obtained this from a community member minutes after arriving on scene following a raid at the Cypress Park Home Depot this morning. they detained day laborers.

Warnock: "I rise tonight in a moral moment in our nation ... if this awful budget were an EKG it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery."

Pertinent quote…

Warnock: A budget is not just a fiscal document. A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who doesn't. And if this awful budget were an EKG, it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery

Due to the ongoing U.S. measles outbreak, a Texas man worried that his young son was at risk and took him to get vaccinated. The cost of the shot? $1,400.

Jesus would support Universal Healthcare. It’s called caring for your neighbor.

If the GOP bill passes, a lot of folks who have grandma in a nursing home will need to take her back home. Do voters across the rural states this will impact the most understand that?

As we’ve reported before, ICE facilities are rife with human rights violations. Now, the Department of Homeland Security is trying to hide them, formally requiring members of Congress and their staff to give seven days’ notice before visiting immigration detention centers.

I worked at Planned Parenthood. They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.   Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

“I would think that a veteran who has seen combat would not respond by firing at teenagers,” the judge said. “There was nothing here that rises to the level of needing to use a firearm.”

Because everyone #bluesky timeline needs a cute little red panda! 😊

Call Blackburn & Hagerty and make them know you know

People that call him "Mr President" make me cringe. That SOB incited a mob and championed an insurrection. He deserves zero respect.

Been saying this for years. Abolish the supreme court. Not reform it, abolish it. Lifetime appointments and a history of almost exclusively being used as a tool for radically curtailing the rights of people demonstrate it shouldnt exist.

In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?” 🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season. Brilliant timing.

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?  The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

Warnock: "We are engaged in Robin Hood in reverse ... this is socialism for the rich."

You know this bill is a nightmare when Republicans are making attack ads against... themselves.

Senators @baldwin.senate.gov and @amyklobuchar.com joined activists on the steps of the Capitol for the sit-in for Medicaid.

1,500+ at our Townhall in Wichita, Kansas this morning. Working people across the nation are pissed off about this rigged economy, and they’re showing up. Wichita’s Congressman refuses to host a Townhall, so we pulled up instead.

No gifts please, Bezos just wants 10 million people to lose their health care so he and his rich friends can pocket another fat tax break…
