🚨A 197% spike in health care costs isn’t just outrageous. It’s dangerous. Families will be forced to choose between paying for care or going without. Medical debt ruined lives before, and it will again. 📞 Call the Senate: 202 224 3121 Tell them to VOTE NO!

Trump quietly drops lawsuit against pollster for 'brazen election interference' https://twp.ai/4inqtq

Indeed, he would have been TACO cabinet material. ======================

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens. Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important". Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary. substack.com/redirect/169...

Chris Murphy: "This is the most deeply immoral piece of legislation I have ever voted on in my entire time in Congress."

What was Trump doing as Senate Republicans plotted to kick millions off healthcare to extend tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy? Golfing at his club with three GOP Senators. Add it to the $26M (and counting) golf tab taxpayers have already fronted since Trump's inauguration.

Who else is TOTALLY ONBOARD with this?! 🤚

Not far from where I work, in Santa Ana, CA, 2 US Citizens & others were brutally beaten by Trump's Gestapo ICE thugs! They had no warrants, just hateful racial profiling, brute tactics & masks to evade ramifications for their illegal activity, but one guy's mask keeps falling. Let's identify him.

ICE ultimately isn't for deporting illegals. ICE is ultimately going to be used as Trump's praetorian guard. If cowardly Republicans pass this bill, Trump will have his personal army. This bill makes ICE bigger than the Marine Corps. Call your representatives.

At least 11 people have died in ICE detention under Trump, as administration on pace for deadliest year in decades. Critics accuse the administration of allowing conditions to worsen in a sprawling network of overburdened immigration detention centers. share.newsbreak.com/dtnf9tl2?s=i16

Trump's 'Big Brutal Bill' will give ICE a larger operating budget than the entire U.S. Marine Corps. So this is basically a workaround for Trump to violate the Posse Comitatus Act, which bans the military from civilian law enforcement.

investigating and prosecuting such cases—including stripping people of citizenship for (alleged) “fraud” against the govt—is to be one of the top five priorities of the trump civil rights division

NEW: Gov. Greg Abbott vetoed a broadly-supported #txlege bill from two Texas GOP lawmakers that sought to increase local oversight of unaccompanied migrant child detention centers. Advocates said the legislation was necessary amid reports of abuse and neglect. www.statesman.com/story/news/p...

"The Justice Department is aggressively prioritizing efforts to strip some Americans of their U.S. citizenship...At least one person has already been denaturalized...June 13, a judge ordered the revocation of the citizenship of Elliott Duke, who uses they/them pronouns." www.npr.org/2025/06/30/n...

Our intelligence confirms this - we have intercepts of high level Iranian officials who are surprised that damage at the nuclear facilities wasn’t worse. Trump is going to refuse to admit the truth, which increases the chances that Iran is able to reconstitute their program.

“An Iranian woman who has lived in the United States for 47 years, has no criminal record, and is married to a US citizen was detained by ICE as she gardened outside her New Orleans home.” ht: @timmiller.bsky.social www.nola.com/news/politic...

Let me tell you what happens when profit runs hospitals & you show up pregnant—in pain. Bryanna Baker was 24. She went to 2 different hospitals in New Mexico w/crushing chest pain. One said it was pregnancy discomfort. The other called it morning sickness. She was having a massive heart attack. 🧵

📢 Big BULLSHIT Bill 💢 Cuts to food support for veterans 💢 Largest cut to Medicaid in history 💢 Largest transfer of 💰 from the poor to the rich in history 💢 16M kids lose free school meals 💢 186B in cuts to SNAP food assistance #ONEV1 #Pinks 🌸 #BlueSkyVet #Voices4Victory

History is repeating, only worse.

If the bill passes, it will make ICE the nation’s largest jailer, with more funding for prison camps than the entire federal Bureau of Prisons. It would give ICE enough money to have more officers than the entire FBI.

Yes, she did. That’s the true sign of Murkowski’s ultimate weakness.

WTFG #Spokane !! I saw an ATF patch on one of them. I don't think this has changed (from January) abcnews.go.com/Politics/dhs...

Elon murdered little kids.

“I represent 67,000 pediatricians, and let me be clear: this bill will devastate children’s health,” said Dr. Susan Kressly, President of @ameracadpeds.bsky.social “Kids are 22% of our population—but 100% of our future. We cannot afford to fail them.” Call your senators and demand a NO vote.

More than 700 coal miners are being laid off in West Virginia after the Trump Administration has done nothing but tout a new Golden Age for them. Why?

Actually what Americans just saw today was a prominent Republican US Senator announce he is quitting because he knows this budget is going to hurt millions of people and he was repeatedly threatened by the president and his cult for telling the truth about it.

Karma. She's quick. Here's looking at you, Murkowski.

History repeating itself! 👇🏼🤨😠

That’s right. The billionaire bailout bill forces your tax dollars to pay for concentration camps and masked thugs to disappear your neighbors without due process. 16M people will be thrown off healthcare to pay for that, along with tax breaks for the rich.

Here's the latest on Lisa Murkowski's big deal, which the parliamentarian shrunk today. Murkowski, Collins, and Tillis could form a bloc against the bill over too many cuts. Johnson, Lee, and Scott could form a bloc over not enough cuts. Rand Paul seems a firm no. Still a tightrope walk here.

ICE is doing exactly what we thought they would. The BBB gives them more money to do more terrible stuff

Murray: This bill polls like garbage because it is garbage. That's why it should go nowhere except a trash bin
