Trump wants Congress to pass the House GOP's version of a budget reconciliation bill that includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to pay for tax cuts for the rich. The House is on recess, so now would be a great time to call your rep and share your thoughts. (202) 224-3121

Texas, Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, & West Virginia want to end protections for students w/special needs.

NEW: Last week’s newsletter had ‘IT’S A COUP’ in big red letters on front page of NYT. Well, guess what? It still is. We have to stop framing what’s happening as in any way normal. It’s a coup & a collapse in the international order & none of this is ‘normal’ broligarchy.substack.com/p/us-coup-ga...

This WaPo piece has something valuable inside: the names of some of the grownups running DOGE behind the scenes. The Incels are a distraction. These people are real. It'd be helpful for people in the agencies to ID anyone from DOGE for...reasons. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

Huge thanks to Washington and Columbia Counties for the big turnout at yesterday’s town halls in Hillsboro and Scappoose. Oregonians are outraged about the Trump administration’s lawlessness. I appreciated each question about what it means and how we fight back.

Make your voice heard today!

Are people finally waking up? The real fight isn’t about bathrooms or drag queens—it’s about who holds power & at whose expense. Culture war is just a distraction, keeping working people too busy fighting each other rather than noticing who’s actually robbing us blind: billionaires—not each other!

In my day, it was called, "Mind your own business."

RED STATES: Remember this when you’re on your own… Trump said: “If it was up to me … I’d end (FEMA) right now.” He wants your state to handle disasters alone—no federal help.

It’s FUKKKING tiring already!

Stop complaining about what Dems did or didn’t do! This mess is solely on Republicans! Protest them! Demand they do something! Put the pressure where it should be!!!

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

The X Files was ahead of its time. "Fear. It's the oldest tool of power. If you're distracted by fear of those around you, it keeps you from seeing the actions of those above." The GOP's plan.
