open.substack.com/pub/joycevan.... The Supreme Court is doing a disservice to the common good! When is America in a Constitutional crisis!

Senate interrupted by someone screaming: You people are awful

The Supreme Court stands by billionaires who promise them omnipotence

The Supreme Court is filled with lawlessness!

Call your GOP Senators!

Today, a chamber that once filled me with wonderment made me feel disgust.

“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...

Just a reminder! The “ice” are the Gestapo: masks, unmarked cars, no license plates, no insignia on their little outfits! AND without due process, they are taking them to concentration camps! Call them what they are

Senators @baldwin.senate.gov and @amyklobuchar.com joined activists on the steps of the Capitol for the sit-in for Medicaid.

Call your Republican senators! There is no pressure like constituents pressure

Ben Meiselas reports on Demented Donald’s dark past being exposed as @meidastouch.com uses its platform to relentlessly focus on his sickest cover up.

Israel’s plans for trapped Gazans genocide

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

Thank you @schiff.senate.gov

🚨🚨“Veterans should never have to say those words in this country.” A Veteran on dialysis told Sen. Mark Kelly: “SNAP and food banks are the only way I eat.” Trump and the GOP call it a “Big Beautiful Bill.” No—It’s a brutal assault on Veterans just trying to survive.

Get ICE out of your state!

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.

Wow @senLisaMurkowski, how you continue to fold to Trump while millions including in your state, lose Medicaid while the wealthiest in the country get richer.

Lisa Murkowski, bought off by carveouts, fiddling from her frozen throne in Alaska. Thanks to her efforts, 121 whaling captains are getting tax cuts while 120 million Americans lose Medicaid benefits.

With Supreme Court Ruling, Another Check on Trump’s Power Fades www.nytimes.com/2025/06/28/u.... It’s not over till it’s over! Several class action suits will prevail

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

Trumps gestapo

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

“Is there any sign of life?” “Have we heard a heartbeat?” “Does she feel any kicking?” “We don’t have the equipment to do that.” That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

After our last report on conditions inside ICE detention centers, the latest DHS propaganda makes a chilling kind of sense now. The official DHS X account posted a WWII-style poster urging people to “REPORT ALL FOREIGN INVADERS,” complete with the ICE tip line to report undocumented neighbors.

Great point!!!

Don’t get it twisted—today’s SCOTUS ruling makes it harder for courts to fully block dangerous policies like Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship. Once again, they’re bending the law to serve him instead of defending the Constitution. It’s shameful.

Justices Uphold Preventive Care Provision in Affordable Care Act www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/u.... Preventive Care Provision in the ACA is upheld!

Newsom Sues Fox News for Saying He Lied About Call With Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/u.... Lies will not be tolerated by Newsom

Supreme Court endorses Obamacare. Three Conservative justices dissented.

Supreme Court Requires Schools to Allow Opting Out From L.G.B.T.Q. Stories www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/u... Know your rights! Opting out doesn’t mean all students in alll schools!

When is a Constitutional crisis going to be addressed???

www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06.... The 6 Justices, by not ruling today on the 14th amendment, was a lawless cowardly, and consequential way to ignore their constitutional jurisprudence!!

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

Folks can argue about the relevancy of the “Democratic socialist” label all day. But if that’s what you’re hung up on, you’re missing the larger point. People aren’t chasing labels. They’re chasing change. Real, structural, unapologetic change. 🧵

SCHIFF: Did you suggest telling the courts 'fuck you' in any manner? BOVE: I don't recall SCHIFF: You just don't remember that

Help these wonderful people protest!

Sen. Booker to Bove: There are complaints that pre-date your judicial nomination by years about you being so intoxicated with power and your supervisors were warned that you are a liability to the office. There are multiple reports of your abuse of power.

This should be followed by the news!

I quit the Washington Post!

Exactly! Not anymore!!!

Stop the big ugly bill! Call your GOP senators!
