Chris Murphy: "The CBO, nonpartisan, says it's gonna kick between 10 and 15 million people off their healthcare. And for what? To be able to afford a new $270,000 tax cut for the richest families in the country ... it's a moral abomination."

Thom Tillis is retiring, which means we probably pick up that seat with exceptional organizing (North Carolina has exceptional organizers, among the best in the country), so at least there's a spot of good news.

2.977 people died on 9/11. The daily quote for ICE is 3000. I think putting it in terms like that puts it into perspective. They want one 9/11 every day.

The Senate is a standing gerrymander with two Dakotas getting four votes to California's two. That we are tearing down our public institutions on a 51-49 vote is just insane.

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

Stonewall wasn't the beginning, and it definitely wasn't the end in the fight for equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community. Here's to the joy and resistance that make Pride possible, and to the futures we continue to fight for, together.

🚨 REMINDER!! A government that puts up barricades before passing legislation FEARS IT’S CITIZENS. There is nothing “Beautiful” about this Bill. Many, many people are going to be hurt and many will die. 100’s of hospitals will close. Millions will lose their jobs — especially, if Obamacare is gone.

Do you think this is really about destroying jobs from the guy who arranged to fire most federal employees including military veterans who were hired or changed jobs in the last 2 years? No, he's pissed about how the bill has a cancelation of EV credits by September and removal of solar credits.

🇪🇺 On 29 June 1985, European leaders chose a symbol that would stand the test of time. Twelve golden stars in a circle. A powerful symbol of who we are and what we stand for: unity and peace, democracy and solidarity. Today, we celebrate 40 years of our common flag.

Canadians were lied to by The CONS and The Rich about the Carbon Rebates. Albertans left $2100 a year on the table. Tell me again how much your gas prices and grocery prices have come down since this rebate went away? How about house insurance rates in Alberta? You GOT SCREWED kids.

"MAGA allows for no breathing room after a tragedy, no space for unity. Instead, Trumpists immediately try to use the corpses to score political points without regard for the facts. Trump is a small, petty man and as a result, the GOP becomes smaller and pettier every day." — @playtyperguy.com
