Senate Republicans just sold out the sick and the hungry to cut taxes for the rich and the powerful. What would Jesus do about this “Big Beautiful Bill”? I think he would flip over the tables of injustice and call on us to do the same.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "The only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God."

Neguse: Only in Washington, D.C. could politicians come to the floor and brag about cutting $9 billion from rural radio stations while two weeks ago they voted to increase the deficit by $4 trillion. Spare us these lectures.

Congress has decided to claw back previously approved funding for public media. This decision hurts people in communities across the country, but it has only strengthened our resolve to keep Americans informed and connected. (1/2)

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

27 different named women accused him of sex assault, he’s on video with Epstein where they are grossly leering at young women, Miss Teen USA contestants said he came in dressing room when they were naked, he bragged on the Access Hollywood tape about grabbing women. It’s obvious.

I’ll watch Stephen Colbert wherever he lands.

This is just magnificent. Absolutely perfect. @thedailyshow.com

The GOP's war on education is real. From banning books to rewriting history, they're trying to erase the truth and control what our kids learn, all while dismantling our education system. Classrooms Not Cuts Hands Off Public Schools

Dear @stephencolbert.bsky.social, Thanks for all the years of speaking truth to power & finding the funny in fascism. Looking forward to following you wherever you land, Your fan, Mar🐫

Why hundreds of lawyers are banding together against Emil Bove’s judicial nomination The nominee for a lifetime federal judgeship has demonstrated a total disregard for the high ethical standards to which most federal prosecutors hold themselves.

This week, Trump is pushing Texas to rig its 2026 congressional maps and the Supreme Court is quietly helping him dismantle our government. But people are fighting back. From the “Shadow Docket” to gerrymandering, the truth is coming to light. Read more here:

Next up: sue this administration! A disabled vet says he was wrongfully detained in last week’s Camarillo raid, despite being a U.S. citizen. • Reporting for his security job at Glass House Farms • Told them he was a citizen • No charges. No phone call. No lawyer. • No care after chemical exposure

If you can't put the pieces together by now, we can't help you.

Our current President is a traitorous, convicted felon, and a court-adjudicated rapist who lacks the intelligence, character, decency, and cognitive ability to lead. His presence is doing us irreparable harm. We should not normalize him, but normalize stating the truth about him.

👨‍✈️ ☠️ 🚔 #FascismIsHere They’re not coming for the most dangerous or violent. They are abducting people at their jobs, calling them in for fake check-ins to meet their daily quotas, and kidnapping US citizens. They’re coming to tear apart our communities. The cruelty is the point. #MAGAKidnappers

Utah voters: Are these really your values? Mike Lee is the best you can do?

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump only cares about quelling violent protests, or quelling protests writ large, when it's protest against him. That's fundamentally undemocratic."

Health Care Cuts Kill, no more so than Texas.👇🏽 We’re not a red state; we’re a gerrymandered to (literally) death state. There are millions of Democrats here run but a very small cabal of (some noted criminally indicted) evil overlords. Abbott has made TX ground zero for (just fill in the blank). 😡

The VA has abruptly ended the only low-interest, affordable loan modification option for thousands of vets who are behind on their mortgages. If you're a vet at risk of foreclosure, we want to hear your story.

The Republicans aren’t listening to anybody but Trump. They know how detrimental these cuts will be to their constituents but instead of developing a backbone, standing up to Trump, & doing what’s right—they’re too scared, too spineless, & too sold out to fight for the folks they represent.

Bessent on Gary Cohn saying we're still weeks away from tariff-related shortages and price increases: "I can't tell you what various retailers have done in terms of stockpiling, substitutions, and elasticities."

Bessent on if he's concerned about empty shelves: "Not at present. We have some great retailers. I assume they preordered."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote a bizarre piece of fan-fiction, casting himself and President Trump as American heroes for shutting down a State Dept office tasked with combatting foreign influence operations. Read @benmshultz.com for more: americansunlight.substack.com/p/little-mar...

🔥 @ninajankowicz.com to the European Parliament: "Before I describe the details of Russia's recent online influence campaigns, I would like to call upon you to stand firm against another autocracy: The United States of America."

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result? Demagoguery and corruption.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime. The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Sanders: I come from the state of Vermont and I am here Bakersfield. Alexandria comes from New York and she is here in Bakersfield. Mr. Congressman, you live in this district, why don’t you show up…

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

What happens to stock markets when government officials with inside knowledge and ability to instantly change economic policy just keep running pump and dump schemes over and over again?

i wonder who Trump told about his tariffs pause in advance 🤔 would've been very lucrative information to have
