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 Medicaid cuts "would be historic in their devastation." www.politico.com/live-updates...

Just a reminder of who Thom Tillis is: In 2013, as N.C. House Speaker, he passed a massive voter suppression law that was struck down because it targeted Black voters "with almost surgical precision.” In the Senate he voted against the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Right Act.

A joy to march in NYC Pride with the people's champ Tish James 🏳️‍🌈

Call Blackburn & Hagerty and make them know you know

Absolutely outrageous. 😡

A while back, our Good Trouble assignment on the @dailybeanspod.com was to flood the National Parks feedback inbox. It worked. Keep causing #GoodTrouble www.sfgate.com/national-par...

I sure as hell have noticed. How about you? 🤨

Yet another ICE impersonator caught. How many are they not catching? As @MarshaBlackburn @SenJohnson & Sexton try to protect masked unidentified vigilantes with legislation— we should be banning this dangerous insanity instead.

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

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

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.

Who is against these policies? Are people so far gone that they prefer their taxes pay for corporate welfare and massive pointless bombs over education and transportation?

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

Newsom: The gloves are off. Let’s go. We’re gonna call out the bullshit. And the propaganda. And the weaponization of lies and disinformation on networks like Fox…

The reaction from corporate Dems was the same when @aoc.bsky.social won, and now she’s a superstar. If some Dems are resisting @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social , maybe it’s a them problem? www.mediaite.com/politics/hou...

Senator Murphy coming out of private briefing on the attack on Iran’s nuclear sites: It still appears that we have only set back the Iranian nuclear program by a handful of months… the allegations that we have obliterated their program just don’t seem to stand up…

Starmer has backed down on cutting disability benefits. Pressure is working. Now let’s make it clear - tax the ultra rich, not sick and disabled people. Sign now while the government is watching! act.38degrees.org.uk/act/tax-the-...

You know, Europe has lots of Democratic Socialists in their parliaments. Oh and free national healthcare.

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

Damn right!!!

You didn’t vote for Kamala because you thought she was a warmonger and you spread that message to others. How you all holding up tonight?

Iran’s foreign minister:

Pass it on

I am glad that today the governor signed a new law repealing New York's ban on providing food and water to people waiting in line to vote. However, it should be clearly noted that this was the result of successful litigation brought by the Brooklyn NAACP -- which the state fought and lost in court.

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

Four Democratic members of Congress from Illinois, Jesús “Chuy” García, Danny Davis, Delia Ramirez, and Jonathan Jackson, were denied entry to an ICE facility in Broadview, just outside Chicago, despite federal policy allowing them access without prior notice.

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

It took Netanyahu 29 years, but he finally found an American president who was itching to go to war with him against Iran.

Surprised more folks aren't pointing out that either Netanyahu deliberately started a war he *literally didn't have the resources to finish* and just *wished on a star* that Trump would bail him out or that's *fully insane* and the fact that he started the war means he already knew Trump would help

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

FIFA Club World Cup ticket sales tank dramatically after the Dept. of Homeland Security bragged that agents would be “suited and booted" at the stadium in a now-deleted social media post

Defense Attorney Shabazz: “If Kilmar is so dangerous, why did they wait 3 years to indict him on this? They’re only doing that now to justify denying him due process and subjecting him to cruel and unusual punishment (in CECOT).”

This is telling. The EU recognizes that felon47 believes in tariffs as a taxing policy for increasing taxes on Americans. This is not a negotiation. Increased taxes are part of trump’s policy #econsky

Double.

🧪My gosh, did I have fun writing this one. Don't skip on the great visuals in this piece, including a slider that shows the damaged areas the machine learning model flagged for repair. Big thanks to Alex for sharing his unique story with me. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

💥 BREAKING: American Airlines shareholders voted today to reject an anti-DEI proposal at its annual meeting, tally TBA. Proposal requested AAL end its relationship with the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index, benchmarking LGBTQ+ practices. AAL has had a perfect score for 20 years.

www.youtube.com/live/0n77NFj... Have a listen to “Real Talk” 👏🏽👏🏽, we see and hear you Governor Newsom!!

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

A total outrage. A judge needs to dismiss this at the first opportunity. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Florida governor and his wife stole $10 million from Medicaid funding to sabotage citizen-led ballot initiatives. Now, they’re trying to hide their grift by threatening the press.
