As Republican congressional leaders look for ways to offset more than $4 trillion in tax cuts heavily loaded in favor of the wealthy, Ohio's food bank leader says cuts to the federal food safety net would be devastating. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/06/26/p...

It's like, as many have said, we're inflicting retaliatory sanctions against ourselves.

Dear terrified rich people of NYC, for just half the $100 million you want to give other consultants, I will do the same amount of work and get the same result. (No payment in crypto.)

Courts in 1930s Germany built the scaffolding that made the Holocaust legal. Courts here did the same for slavery from the 1600s until the Civil War. The courts can, will and are laying the groundwork for a different kind of atrocity. This is unlikely to stop here.

This includes ALL of the hospitals near where I live.

There are the obvious economic reasons why this doesn't happen, but it's still shocking how many people work on-and-off-the-clock to pick on the easiest target they can find.

Most of Trump's wealth is now in crypto. Every day, another reminder of how the Supreme Court's enabling of Trump, in this case on the Emoluments Clause, has allowed this grift to spiral beyond even our ability to comprehend it.

i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

They took all the trees, and put them in a tree museum. And they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see them.

A consistent feature of this period of authoritarian ethnic cleansing is children, from Gaza to California, begging for their lives on TV, and being met with indifference.

The most important part of republican fascism is the demand you must be nice to them.

Let's fight back. Tell your story and show that America is still the Home of the Brave.

Join us. Fight back by telling 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 story. Because your story is America’s story.

It's worth remembering that as president, Trump can inflict his obsessions on the US public (tariffs, racism, Iran) but in the end is in control of nothing, because he lacks even self-control and is so easily manipulated by those around him.

NEW: A Mexican landscaper beaten while being violently detained by immigration agents has THREE sons who are US Marines. My latest on Katie Phang News on how Trump and the GOP don’t care about patriotism & how US citizens are being jailed for trying to protect immigrants. youtu.be/6ivg1oo1FQQ?...

Meanwhile, the federal government of the United States of America is hard at work hunting down and arresting random beloved local bagel shop managers. Neighbors and friends respond: pix11.com/news/local-n...

Leaked White House Memo: U.S. Officials Quietly Discuss Suspending 2026 Elections as War Escalates www.dobblog.com/2025/06/leak...

Launching the U.S. into what could be yet another unpopular and costly forever war, while simultaneously pushing for an unpopular budget bill at home that will take food and healthcare away from millions of people. The "peace president."

Impeach him now.

😞😢✌🏼☮️💙🌊

NEW: The DHS has issued a heightened terror threat for Americans. Good thing we have that 22 year old former gardener in charge of counterterrorism and DHS is busy with mass deportation. www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisor...

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

Honest question: If the military knew that bombing Iran without congressional authorization was unconstitutional, why did they do it? Could they have refused? What if Trump ordered them to bomb an American city? Who will stop the mad king?

No unjust wars, no unilateral wars, no endless wars, no wars without Congressional briefings. I stand for peace in our world. #nokings #tuckfrump

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

This is not America. It's not Christianity either.

don't you know the rich love war their children don't die their homes will be safe but what they love more than life itself is all the money they'll make off the suffering of others

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

Pope Leo to politicians: You have a “responsibility to promote and protect, independent of any special interest, the good of the community, the common good, particularly by defending the vulnerable and the marginalized.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

“We have masked, unidentified agents of the state snatching people off of the streets. We have the government attempting to skirt due process. We have an attempt to revoke birthright citizenship. Maybe the hour is later than we think.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Schools. Parks. Libraries. Roads. Mail delivery... These are provided by our government. They're paid for by the public and are available to everyone. What happens to these public goods when you try to "run the government like a business"? Privatization. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqn1uD_B70U

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

Every home needs one.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

Ask your doctor what treatment the supreme court decided is right for you.

The editorial board of a publication in Sen. Mike Lee's home state of Utah called on him to apologize for his posts about the Minnesota shootings, writing that they “were unacceptable for anyone, let alone from a member of the Senate.”

Get the federal troops out of L.A. Now.
