Racism lives on! This country will never heal when it can disparage people, steal power in our government and NOW without consequences! Blue states must move stratregically to confront and pushback on rascism.

Rep. Dr. Jasmine Clark@jasmineclarkforga.bsky.social

It’s very telling that the collective response from GA Republicans after the SCOTUS decision to weaken Section II of the VRA was essentially “Yay! We just got the green light to disenfranchise black voters! Call a special session!”

Don’t take the bait! We will always need clean energy!

Center for American Progress@americanprogress.bsky.social

In a new attack on clean energy and abuse of taxpayer dollars, the Trump administration will pay TotalEnergies nearly $1 billion to cancel two offshore wind projects that would have powered 1.3 million homes in New Jersey and North Carolina. https://ampr.gs/4s1vNAv

The SEC is either complicit with a MAGA agenda or cut off at the knees by Trump. Any enforcement data the agency is keeping will be marginalized and severely restricted or outright eliminated so the public cannot benefit from SEC’s abilities restrict investors or other scams brewing.

Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.gov

The SEC’s enforcement director quit after reported “internal disagreement” about holding Trump’s political allies accountable. The agency still hasn’t released last year’s enforcement data. Chair Atkins must answer: is the SEC enforcing the law or bowing to a corrupt President?

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

For years, Donald Trump has wanted to weaponize the government against his political opponents. And by pardoning January 6th offenders, he has shown he does not care about preventing political violence.

Yes, Mr. Trump. We should keep the government open. - Stop health care costs from soaring up to 75% - Save 15 million people from losing health care - Rescind $1 trillion in tax breaks to the top 1% Listen to the needs of the American people. Don't shut down the government.

This month, we celebrate the heritage, culture, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities. Our country is stronger because of the contributions of immigrants. Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!

Sadly, we are not learning because we are now back to unknown dangerous territory and I fear a lot of Americans will be killed!

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.social

On @facethenation.bsky.social with Rep. Massie, I asked what have we achieved? The strikes put our troops at risk & create a generation of hate. Can this country learn? We keep voting for a president who says we’re not going to war & then they get pushed into war by the Beltway.

This is factually true, as mental illness soars in our prisons. It’s not just the prisoners that are mentally affect, but also the prison workers! America is failing.

Prism@prismreports.org

Prison creates, worsens, & perpetuates symptoms of mental illness. For the incarcerated masses dealing with mental health issues, all we can really do is turn to one another for guidance, writes Derek R. Trumbo, Sr. in his ‘Never eat the candy.’ prismreports.org/2025/06/17/m...

The Big Beautiful Betrayal lowers incomes for nearly 100 million working families, raises mortgage costs, and takes funding from rural hospitals — all while giving massive tax breaks to the wealthy. This isn’t the bill for you and we must reject it.

GOP proposed health care cuts will shutter ERs, maternity wards, and mental health care across America—especially in rural areas. Today, I warned Republicans: these aren’t just numbers—they’re lives. We must stop these cuts before it’s too late. www.cbsnews.com/news/medicai...

cbsnews.comMedicaid cuts could devastate hundreds of rural hospitals in GOP states, Democrats sayMedicaid cuts in the Trump tax bill could jeopardize 300 rural hospitals, risking service reductions or even closure, a report commissioned by Senate Democrats found.

Republicans passed a package that guts $9.4 BILLION in critical funding. They’re coming for global health, humanitarian aid, national security—& even PBS & NPR. Let me be real clear: What they’re cutting saves lives, keeps the world stable, and tells the truth.

The U. S. Senate needs to work to better the lives of all Americans but no such deal is in The Big Beautiful bill nor is the Emoluments clause prevent his enrichment!

Rep. Jake Auchincloss@repauchincloss.bsky.social

The Senate should update its stablecoin bill to expressly outlaw the type of emoluments-clause violation that the president is committing with $TRUMP.

Angela Galván Torrens reposted

The Congressional Republicans’ bill takes away health care and makes it harder to afford groceries, all to give massive tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans. It’s not a big, beautiful bill. It’s a big betrayal of the middle class.

Accepting a private jumbo-jet from a foreign nation is a clear violation of our Constitution, which plainly prohibits U.S. officials from accepting gifts from foreign governments.

Horsford: They are cutting healthcare for 13.7 million Americans. The largest cut to healthcare in U.S. history to give tax cuts to billionaires and to big corporations. This is your priority.

His plan to accept a $400 million luxury jet from the Qatari government for use as Air Force One is an act of blatant corruption and a violation of our Constitution that poses severe counterintelligence risks, needlessly undermining U.S. national security.

PROTEST TRUMP’S DISPECABLE DISPLAY OF CRONYISM, SELLING OUT THE PUBLIC FOR HIS OWN ENRICHMENT, IMPERIALISTIC AUTHORITARIAN, HE IS NO KING, VIOLATION OF THE IMPOUNDMENT ACT. No U.S. President should be allowed to accept gifts from a foreign country…should be impeachable! RESIST!

President Trump is accepting a $400 million luxury plane from Qatar while he drives up prices for Americans and kicks 13 million people off of their health care “This isn't America first.” “This is Trump first.” —Senator Chris Murphy
