“One Big Beautiful Bill”? Try one big, bold-faced lie. They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise. $2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what? Tax cuts for the rich.

Hell yeah

"California Republican Reps. David Valadao and Young Kim's districts are among the highest Medicaid enrollment rates in the state. In an April 14 letter, both said they were against the bill if it included Medicaid cuts — but then they voted for the bill anyway..." www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

Ernst 2026: We’re All Gonna Die

When you cower to a bully you teach the bully to bully you more. Also the 12 people with paramount plus subscriptions should cancel those.

“The Court of International Trade ruled Wednesday that President Donald Trump exceeded his authority in imposing tariffs on all imported goods, calling an immediate halt to his signature trade war policy.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Breaking News: A panel of federal judges blocked President Trump from imposing some tariffs, finding that he vastly overstepped his authority under federal law.

Your vote for Trump at work

I'm giving you a mission for this Memorial Day holiday weekend. I want you to talk to two people—friends, neighbors, cookout attendees—about why Trump's proposed budget would be a disaster for American kids. We owe the next generation every chance, and this isn't it.

Remember when Republicans said Trump’s Tax Scam wouldn’t touch Medicare? They were lying.

Never mind, who's the Dems contender for 2028. Focus on who'll step up for 2026. If members of Congress (and us) don't step up to this challenge in 2026, 2028 won't matter.

🔥 @RepMcGovern: “THIS IS NOT POLICY. THIS IS THEFT… done under the cover of night.” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

This is FOUL. What's next? Does the U.S. pay reparations to every descendent of a Confederate soldier who died in the Civil War? It is the same premise.

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

Do you know who Brad Smith is? Republicans who are dismantling healthcare right now are counting on you not to. Rep. Auchincloss breaks down who Smith is and how he stands to profit as the GOP guts healthcare.

Why has Kid Rock not been arrested for obstructing ICE arrests after his restaurant sent undocumented workers home last week so they wouldn’t be swept up in an ICE raid, but Judge Dugan directing a man through a different door is a federal offense?

A House vote on Trump's Tax Scam is expected before Memorial Day. Use our toolkit to take action and raise awareness about the GOP's plan to make billionaires richer by gutting essential programs that our communities rely on: docs.google.com/docu...

Grab him by the Congress.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

this is insane. kfor.com/news/local/h...

Trump capitulated to China and got nothing out of it. After weeks of on and off tariffs, the only thing Trump did was cause the market to freak out, screw up the entire supply chain, destroy the dollar as the “reserve currency", and killed the US’s soft power advantage.

Do not for one second believe that the selection of an American as the new Pope has nothing to do with Trump's vicious global assault on decency, civility, kindness, compassion, empathy, tolerance, acceptance, progress, democracy. It's a solid Vatican rejection of Trump...

I’m going to remind folks often of the pretend lawyers who work in the firms that folded to an unconstitutional threat from Trump: Skadden; Paul Weiss; Milbank; Willkie Farr & Gallagher; Kirkland & Ellis; A&O Shearman; Simpson Thacher & Bartlett; Latham & Watkins; and Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft.

Today in "I can't believe we have to call our reps about this:" The Senate votes tomorrow on a crypto bill that would ENABLE Trump to keep accepting bribes from billionaires, corporations, and foreign govts. We can block it if every Dem holds firm. Call now: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

It’s official: Republicans want to kick millions of Americans off their health insurance to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. The nonpartisan scorekeepers at CBO just confirmed that the GOP’s plans would boot millions of people from Medicaid.

Good with me

Save the Date! Get your Obama photos ready to share!!

🚨Huge win for overseas military voters—and VoteVets played a key role. A Trump-appointed judge just ruled *against* right-wing efforts to toss ballots in the NC Supreme Court race. The court agreed: changing the rules midstream would violate due process and equal protection.

He wants to force everyone to do business in America…except him. And the corruption and grift is off the charts.

Somehow, Trump has declared that we’re under numerous national emergencies from the Southern Border Emergency to the Energy Emergency, Trade Emergency, Public Lands Emergency, and Immigration Enforcement Emergency. Yet these crises seem so “urgent” that he finds time to golf every weekend. Odd.

Your calls are working. Let’s keep the pressure up — if you’re represented by a Republican, tell them to reject Trump’s tax scam and massive giveaways to billionaires that stick everyday Americans with the bill: act.indivisible.org/...

🔥 Sen. Tammy Duckworth isn’t having it: Hegseth just gutted a vital military program—one Trump signed into law—because he didn’t even know what it was. Called it “feminist.” Every combat commander supports it. He’s not a SecDef. He’s a liability.

Every National Socialist that I have known supports Alternative for Germany (AfD) for a reason. Germany designates rising far-right AfD party as ‘extremist’ group www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

June 14 is Trump’s birthday and his military parade in DC — but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. Join our nationwide day of defiance to show that organized people power is stronger than Trump’s authoritarian aspirations: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Me Too! But we know the answer!

Instead of ignoring Trump’s birthday parade on June 14, join us for a nationwide day of defiance. Let’s take to the streets on Flag Day to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
