Canada ‘urgently seeking more information’ on death of Canadian in ICE custody #ICEKidnappings #Canada #FvckDJT www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

This. Is. Insane. Read this, please.

Trump brazenly lies: "We're cutting $1.7 trillion in this bill and you're not gonna feel any of it. Your Medicaid is left alone. It's left the same."

I passed an amendment that would stop Secretary Noem from using our taxpayer dollars to continue violating our constitutional rights.

We will never forget the Republicans who vote for this BIG BOGUS BILL that steals from the poor to give more money to the richest 1%. Here is a list of names to hang on your refrigerator so you know who they are when they vote on this bill. Please pass it on. 🙏 Thank you!

“Democracy belongs to those who exercise it.” Rest in Peace, Bill Moyers. 🕊️

Murderer. RFK Jr. says U.S. will stop funding global vaccine alliance Gavi www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Trump gave Iran permission to fire missiles at U.S. troops at our base in Qatar. You’ll recall the last time this happened and our troops suffered TBI, Trump downplayed the serious injuries as “headaches.” www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/ju...

“Republican leaders are rushing because they are afraid the public will discover what the bill would do—rip health care from millions, explode the deficit, and cause what might be the biggest transfer in government resources from poor to rich in American history.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

I say this as someone who has voting power in her local Democratic Party, not someone just criticizing from the outside: the Democratic Party is not aligned with the people and instead of aligning their strategy & platform with voters, they’re trying to beat voters over the head and drag them along

All Im saying is YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

"Meanwhile, the EPA is rolling back restrictions on how much mercury, arsenic, lead and other carcinogens power plants can emit. Last week, the agency also told a court that it was reconsidering a Biden-era ban on asbestos."

Young Kim is authoring a resolution thanking ICE for supposedly “making our communities safer.” But if you ask her constituents, including Narciso Barranco, the father of three Marines who was punched in the head repeatedly by ICE agents, they would tell you a different story. 1/

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

🚨HANDS OFF MEDICAID! STOP THE BIG UGLY BILL! 🚨 #HandsOffMedicaid #KeepCalling #StopTheBigUglyBill

"I currently don’t get to participate in the election that decides the outcome in 80% of elections in Oklahoma. And not only that, the election I don’t get to participate in is funded by my tax dollars." - Tony Stobbe, a retired U.S. Coast Guard Commander and a proponent for SQ 836 #OpenPrimaries

It’s not just @jaketapper. The obsession with the former president’s health is beyond the pale. Meanwhile our current president is an unhinged and unfit crazy person with signs of serious cognitive decline who gets a pass.

This is being sent out to every US embassy in the world.

Mitch McConnell was worth 35 million 2 years ago. Last month he made 2.9 million in stock trades. Mitch McConnell thinks you should not have healthcare/Medicaid. Think about that. Greedy fucking GOP. Fire them all! EAT THE RICH. #ProudBlue #OneV1 www.nasdaq.com/articles/net...

Kirsten Gillibrand backed Andrew Cuomo's return and spends her time enabling financial fraud of New Yorkers. There are crowns in every gutter in America for those who want to pick them up and lead with responsibility and dignity.

💙Absolutely!!!! Don’t EVER FORGET what Biden did to this country!💙

Dangerous rioters.

The Supreme Court is set to issue opinions tomorrow in some or all of the 10 remaining cases it heard this term, including: ⚖️Birthright Citizenship/Nationwide Injunctions. ⚖️Louisiana Redistricting. I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 to keep you informed. Sign-up now for free. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Most churches, like most schools, run on the unpaid labor of women…

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Quick reminder: Federal law prohibits marijuana possession in the United States. It’s not exactly legal even in states that allow it. I keep seeing people say that someone traveling to the US admitted using cannabis in a state where it’s allowed. I would not admit that to federal agents.

The members of Congress who have traded Palantir stock in the last few months are: Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.)2 Rep. Julie Johnson (D-Texas)3 Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R-Pa.) Rep. Gil Cisneros (D-Calif.) Rep. Jefferson Shreve (R-Ind.)4

THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE: Disabled Medicaid activists in wheelchairs were just ZIP-TIED and ARRESTED by Capitol Police for protesting inside the Russell Senate Office Building. Their banner was ripped from their hands. They were fighting for healthcare—and got handcuffs instead.

Nothing screams 'freedom' quite like arresting people in wheelchairs protesting Medicaid cuts.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

HAPPENING NOW: 60+ arrested in Congress fighting to #ProtectMedicaid.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

GOP thoughts on Medicare: Joni Ernst - "Were all going to die." Mitch McConnell: "They'll get over it." The GOP doesn't give AF about their constituents, yet still get voted into office. Someone stop this ride. I want to get off.

If reposting babyfat Vance photos are perceived as a threat to the nation, 3/4 of the US population is now made up of dissidents.

How many deaths are acceptable in order to give billionaires tax breaks? One? Twenty? Ten thousand? Zero? Experts say the Republican budget could lead to 51,000 deaths. The whole point of the bill is tax breaks for the wealthy—and they pay for them by cutting healthcare.

"Men are socialized to fulfill their desires, and women are socialized to fulfill their obligations" Shannon Watts joins Jen Rubin to discuss the importance of women distinguishing between obligations and desires and what it means to be a “fire starter.”

RFK JR: We have not cut any clinical trials on Alzheimer's BARRAGAN: There was 35 and you guys have already cut 13 of them because of the funding. This was congressionally approved dollars on a bipartisan basis.

He was detained in Newark and spent five hours in a prison cell at the airport. He was threatened with a $5,000 fine and five years in prison if he didn't turn over his social media passwords. When they found the meme of JD Vance, he was sent back to Oslo.

Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it? But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?

The Democratic party establishment that lost us the White House, the House, The Senate, 27 Governor races and the Supreme Court went all in for Andrew Cuomo. And it appears they lost again. Time for regime change for the Democratic Party.

A Norwegian tourist was detained and denied entry into the United States because he had this unflattering meme of JD Vance on his phone. 😡

The new ICE recruits everyone keeps saying are proud boys or whatever may be linked to hate groups but they are primarily US military. Trump is circumventing the whole “insurrection act” thing by just hiring them as contractors. These are traitors violating their oath.

Purple Heart Army veteran self-deports after nearly 50 years in the U.S. — His removal order was the result of charges related to drug possession and failure to appear in court from over 15 years ago — offenses that, he said, stemmed from years of untreated PTSD. www.npr.org/2025/06/24/g...

Shameful. I expect they will be sued.👇 "Nearly 100,000 North Carolina voters will be required to take an additional step to verify their identity or risk being disenfranchised under a plan approved by the GOP-controlled state board of elections Tuesday." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Mitch McConnel saying that people who loved Medicaid will “JUST GET OVER IT”, is the epitome of the REP party. THEY DONT CARE ABOUT AMERICANS. ANd if you cant see that let me say then YOU TOO DoNT CARE ABOUT AMERIcANS
