Happening now, they’re blaring this mix at ICE in LA. I added captions.

Here is Trump 2 months ago saying he would veto Republican bills that included Medicaid cuts. Bookmark this for when he goes back on his word.

They are the swamp.

Let’s see how long this gag order on the government is obeyed.

Jeffries ends his nearly 9 hour speech by quoting MLK and saying, "We're gonna press on until victory is won. I yield back." "John would've been proud," Terri Sewell tells him.

The first in a long list of rural hospitals closing due to Trump's bill. This hospital is in Don Bacon's district. He voted for Trump's bill this week, and he voted for this. nebraskapublicmedia.org/en/news/news...

Trump and Republicans in Congress are trying to pull off one of the biggest heists in U.S. history. The so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” is robbery, plain and simple. And it’s being committed by the billionaire class and the politicians they put into office.

BREAKING: Hakeem Jeffries has now been speaking for 8 hours straight against the Big Beautiful Bill. He just got a standing ovation for this: "It's extraordinary to me, Mr. Speaker, you got folks in this town talkin' about 'drainin' the swamp!' Guess what? You ARE the swamp! YOU are the swamp!"

BREAKING: Trump gets STUNNED as January 6 hero Michael Fanone announces that he just launched his new YouTube show, ‘The Michael Fanone Show.’ His show ALREADY has 95,000 subscribers in one day. We’re setting a goal of 150,000 subscribers by TONIGHT. Here’s the link: youtube.com/@themichaelf...

75-year old Cuban man in the US for SIX DECADES dies in ICE custody. Convicted in the 1980s for 2 counts of federal possession of controlled substances. Acting ICE Director, Tom Homan, in response says, “I mean, people die in ICE custody.”

Senate Republicans have lost their spines—all they do is bow down to Donald Trump and his billionaire donors. They know this bill will kill people. And they just look the other way.

Karoline Leavitt indicates the administration is open to a denaturalization-oriented investigation against Zohran Mamdani

Senate Democrats have offered amendments to stop rural hospitals from closing. To keep labor and delivery units open. To keep Planned Parenthood funded. To prevent millions of Americans from losing out on health coverage. The GOP voted against every single one of them.

Sen. Adam Schiff is sounding the alarm: he’s hearing story after story from Americans—red states and blue—who will be devastated by Trump’s Big Ugly cuts to SNAP and critical programs. This bill doesn’t discriminate in its cruelty. It targets everyone. 📞 Call 202-224-3121. #VoteNo

“Pro-life”

I just forced a vote to try to strip out Republicans' defund Planned Parenthood provision from their Big Ugly bill. Republicans voted NO. They voted to shutter some 200 health clinics and deny women basic health care like cancer screenings & birth control. KILL THE BILL!

LISTEN TO THIS SHIT: Mark Kelly didn’t name names—but he did say this: One GOP Senator said Medicaid cuts were fine because “they’ll get over it.” Another, told it would cost lives, said: “We’re all gonna die anyway.” And this party still dares to call itself pro-life.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

We’re starting to think Fox is low key Team Zohran

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: REPUBLICAN’S DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH VOTES YES TO PASS THE BIG BULLSHIT BILL TONIGHT!! Republicans are using their full debate time with no floor speakers- they’ll just run the clock. That pushes a vote to late Monday or Tuesday. The pressure is working!

If RFK Jr. really cared about healthy eating, he’d stop rolling back corporate regs and blaming individuals. He’d raise SNAP, end food deserts, and fund cooking education. People don’t live off 89¢ ramen and gas station snacks because they want to. It’s what the system gives them

Senators @baldwin.senate.gov and @amyklobuchar.com joined activists on the steps of the Capitol for the sit-in for Medicaid.

Tell them they got what they voted for.

Lisa Murkowski wanted to come on my podcast and I told her to fuck off.

In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?” 🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season. Brilliant timing.

Mexican actor Diego Luna guest-hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live! and called out Trump’s anti-immigration policies, sending Fox News into a full meltdown over a Latino using late-night TV to speak the truth.

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

Newsom: The gloves are off. Let’s go. We’re gonna call out the bullshit. And the propaganda. And the weaponization of lies and disinformation on networks like Fox…

BREAKING: if the Supreme Court wants a class action to hold Trump's birthright citizenship unconstitutional nationwide, we will give them one! We @democracydefendersaction.org just filed with our wonderful partners @aclu.org, NAACP LDF, LULAC & more assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

Under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, America's poorest families lose about $1600 per year. The richest households gain about $12,000 per year. It's Reverse Robin Hood. (Via CBO)

I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Jacob Taylor, a USPS letter carrier in Dallas who served our community with dedication. My heart goes out to his family, loved ones, and the entire USPS community. May he rest in peace, and may his service never be forgotten.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

BOOM: California Gov. Gavin Newsom is suing Fox News and Jesse Watters for defamation, accusing them of airing a manipulated Trump clip to push lies about Newsom’s calls with Trump. The lawsuit seeks $787M—same as Fox’s Dominion settlement.

In Washington protesters fighting to save their #Medicaid were arrested today. Story in next post/

Disabled activist Carol Olinger is still in custody after peacefully protesting GOP Medicaid cuts. She needs insulin NOW & has kidney dialysis at 6am. This is medical neglect—cruel and deliberate. Her life is at risk. We demand her release & care. Please share widely!

We all live in the time of literally the most tiresome American ever to be born on our soil Put aside politics, this jackass is just straight-up the most insufferable PoS ever to draw breath

Translation: We’re gonna make shit up, blast it out fast, and by the time the press catches on, it won’t matter. The lie will be everywhere, swallowed and weaponized by the right, locked in before the truth even gets a chance.

There's a big difference between "total obliteration" and just setting Iran's nuclear program back six or seven months. It's clear that the American President trusts the Israelis more than he does the American intelligence community.

Sen. Adam Schiff: "Did you suggest telling the courts '*** you' in any manner?" Emil Bove: "I don't recall." Schiff questioned Bove on a whistleblower report claiming Bove suggested to DOJ officials that they ignore court orders to carry out deportations: www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Boyle: For every American household that makes under $55,000 a year, they will be poorer as a result of this bill. So it's quite clear under this Republican betrayal— the poor get poorer, the rich get richer, and the middle class falling further behind. This is wrong.

I want my kid to grow up in a world where she has every right & freedom we grew up with, & more. Where she can get the healthcare she needs with dignity. Abortion care is healthcare and a fundamental human right.

“This is disgusting. It’s wrong. And I don’t want it being done in my name. You shouldn’t either…We have our own self-destructive ayatollahs (I’m looking at you, Stephen Miller), and they deserve to be stopped, before they tarnish our good name forever.” open.substack.com/pub/mattlaba...

Michael Fanone defended our Capitol on January 6. He showed his bravery. Now, it’s time for us to do the same.

I’ve learned over the years never to crown something as the dumbest possible take on a subject until Burchett weighs in.

So this is pretty cool. Someone in my sister-in-law's neighborhood vandalized a bunch of LGBTQ+ sings and rainbow flags. So now everyone else in the neighborhood who didn't have them is putting them up and they've raised a reward to catch the vandal.
