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

“And any fan of mine who's a supporter of his I'm drawing in the sand a line, you're either for or against And if you can't decide …and you're split On who you should stand beside…: Fuck you! The rest of America, stand up! We love our military, and we love our country But we fucking hate Trump!”

Dammit, now I'm sad, too.

My heart breaks for the two teenage girls shot outside Stonewall Inn last night after NYC Pride. One remains in critical condition. While we await further details, I pray for their recoveries.

BREAKING: Senator Warnock calls Big Beautiful Bill “Socialism for the Rich”. 100% true!

1/4 📢 CDC funding for 2025 is months late, leaving health depts stranded. CDC leaders told NPR the delay appears intentional - “a deliberate effort to grind us to a halt.” We are not surprised 😡. This is a public health emergency manufactured by HHS.

‼️‼️

The rich folks who are about to get another windfall from Daddy Trump are living it up while we suffer.

There’s something deeply wrong with a society that watches people get snatched by masked men in unmarked cars & looks the other way. Rep @kamlager-dove.house.gov, describes an alarming system of relocating detainees, making it nearly impossible for their families to find them or get legal counsel.

Let this sink in.

How about we have party leaders focus on the words of a United States congressman - Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama - who’s calling Black people “inner city rats” who leach off of America’s taxpayers. Stop the focus on municipal elections and get to this. Where is the censure and condemnation?

Tens of thousands of protesters marched through Hungary's capital on Saturday as a banned LGBTQ+ rights rally swelled into a mass anti-government demonstration, in one of the biggest shows of opposition to Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

Wow

Priscilla Chan’s decision to stop funding the school she opened to help struggling families shows the risks for communities reliant on wealthy private donors.

NEW: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

I read 198 books so far this year..counting all forms of reading…I am going to share some of my favorite reads for the year so far..my goal was to read 150 for this year…I change that to 200…#blackbooksky #booksky

Lots of Republicans are going to lose their seats over this budget - federal, state, and local. It will not cost Trump anything, other than finally some House oversight his last 2 years maybe. Which is how these things always go with Trump - others always pay for his sins.

In the end they will try to lock up every brown person in the country, whether they are a citizen or not. He will sign an executive order declaring himself president for life and the Supreme Court will uphold it 6-3. They will leave you no choice. They think so little of you.

Mamdani does what I've been calling constructive politics: appeals to identity as a building block of solidarity rather than a replacement for it. love to see it

This convo between Chris Hayes and Ezra Klein about Mamdani’s primary win is good, but only gets at half the story. They focus only on his impressive social media game and not the appeal of his actual agenda. Messages go viral only if the *content* resonates with people. 🎁article

WTF!

Icymi last month: The US government has collected DNA samples from 133,000+ migrant children and teenagers and uploaded them into a national criminal database originally built for people convicted of sex offenses and violent crimes

Hungary’s nationalist regime outlawed Pride festivals in an attempt to silence dissent; defiant crowds flooding Budapest’s streets wielded rainbow banners and solidarity from European lawmakers; the ban’s architects now confront an unbannable tide of freedom. www.motherjones.com/...

Now we know why Anna Wintour threw her office keys onto the desk, grabbed her handbag, slid on her sunglasses, and marched out of the building.

Something to Note: Every major category of violent crime is down in Chicago, but there is no push to declare the progressive mayor Brandon Johnson a successful crime fighter because he didn’t invest in militarization. Even when progressives are successful, they won’t get credit.

Reminder: They’re afraid of Zohran because he’s better at this than they are. He is putting the people first, and it reminds them of their own failings.
