VICTORY: The dangerous provision to remove background checks on all gun silencer and short barreled firearm sales was STRUCK from Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” This is a win for gun safety and American communities.

Donald Trump's Social Security Admin is LYING to the American people. They said call wait times are down to minutes. Well, I investigated and found people are waiting HOURS for help — and that's if they get help at all. They need to stop the cover up and fix this giant failure.

There's a lot happening right now, but I won't let Republicans attack abortion rights & slink away from the limelight. Whether it's defunding Planned Parenthood or blocking insurers from covering abortion care, I'm fighting back & shining a burning spotlight on their backdoor plans to ban abortion.

Although she had no idea what I was talking about, I appreciate AG Bondi's offer to discuss the grants she's illegally terminating. However, our communities shouldn't have to rely on Senators playing whack-a-mole with this administration to restore public safety grants.

I pressed Trump's CDC nominee on how NONE of RFK Jr.'s vaccine advisory committee appointees have been properly vetted, and I raised how RFK Jr. is pushing dangerous disinformation & policies already undermining access to vaccines. We have to keep pushing until science & sanity are restored.

Russ Vought is already illegally withholding hundreds of billions in federal funding from our communities. Now, he's refusing to rule out cutting off even more funding with a new, illegal end run around Congress. He's ignoring common sense & the plain text of the law.

The SCOTUS decision to allow states to defund Planned Parenthood will mean real harm to millions of women who need cancer screenings or birth control in South Carolina and other GOP states that follow their lead.   A devastating blow to women's health care in America, but I’ll keep fighting back.

Murray: "None of us would sit here and agree to bipartisan bills knowing their partners were just gonna gut that deal with recessions. I hope each of us thinks about that today."

Listen to the doctors: When patients go uninsured, they delay care, and it increases costs for everyone. Instead of paying $10 for diabetic medication, we'll pay $10,000 for an amputation. Help share so that everyone understands and speaks out AGAINST this Big Ugly Bill.

A Marine Corps veteran says he feels betrayed after his father was beaten and arrested by masked federal agents while working at his landscaping job, caught up in one of the ongoing ICE workplace raids that advocates say have left immigrant communities terrified and on edge.

Definitely worth the read!!! The author captured so much of our lived experience of the past several years. So much is quotable from this piece but I’ll share just one: “It’s time to shift from panic to blueprint”. Thank you for reposting over & over. I’m confident you’ll want to once your read it.

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.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

Republicans can use all sorts of theological gymnastics, pseudo-piety, and performative religiosity to fashion something out of God and the Bible to build a theocratic order and fool their rank-and-file. But they can’t f*ck with Jesus. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/republican...

Since the federal government is responsible for this torrent of “removals” then it is also responsible for the safekeeping of the removed people. Period.

Today’s unsigned, unexplained #SCOTUS ruling clearing the way for removals of migrants to third countries without any additional process is a disaster—not just on the merits, but because of the government misbehavior that it not only refuses to punish, but effectively rewards. Me, via “One First”:

Three years ago, Roe v. Wade was overturned—stripping away abortion rights from millions, endangering women’s health, and attacking the fundamental freedom of bodily autonomy. The struggle continues. The movement grows stronger. And we will not rest until freedom is restored.

"Wars often give the commander in chief a chance to present himself as the voice of the nation and a rallying point for patriotism. But Trump’s laziness, and his obvious disdain for the American public and the Constitution, has meant that his call to war has resulted in little enthusiasm."
