Emil Bove is up for a lifetime appointment. This is not a time to rush through the process, violate the rules, and end debate. But that’s what Republicans on the Judiciary Committee just did. I was the next to speak and they barred us from debating. So we walked out.

It’s not a cover up. It’s the press accepting he’s a pathological liar and narcissist thus normalizing his aberrant behavior which is even worse!! People becoming numb to the atrocities because they see no action or reaction of those in the press nor the other branches of government. Not good!!

And well they should be! Until the White House changes hands they should absolutely do everything they can to defy and resist asinine US policy.

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

As I said on MSNBC today, the spin out there that passing this bill will benefit GOP is insane. You don't get positive political results by having an unpopular party pushed by an unpopular President to pass an unpopular bill. Perfect storm of disgust.

Yup! And there will be more events in the future. Shame on all those representatives for being unwilling to stand up to the bully and his administration. Karma.

When experts warned for months that the NWS “is being destroyed” by Trump’s personnel cuts, Howard Lutnick assured Congress that forecasting won’t be affected. Now TX officials are blaming a faulty forecast by NWS for the deadly impact of a storm. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

While most Dems have focused on the draconian cuts to vital programs for those most in need, I have focused on the epic fiscal irresponsibility of this bill caused by massive tax cuts and huge spending increases in defense and DHS. Both equally important. There’s a lot to hate.

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has been speaking for over 4 hours as we continue the fight to #KillTheBill that would rip healthcare away from 17 million Americans, food assistance away from millions more, and add trillions to our national debt. All to fund more tax breaks for billionaires.

Jeffries: "This reckless Republican budget is an immoral document, and that is why I stand here on the floor of the House with my colleagues in the House Democratic caucus to stand up and push back against it with everything we have, on behalf of the American people."

When the press are untethered to truth And corporations can be guided by only endless profit And the ruling party doesn’t care how many of their constituents die We are not on track for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness Dig deep. This will take every person of conscience.

Last night a bunch of Republicans in the House were saying how awful this bill was. Only took a couple hours, some merch, and a few words from Donald Trump, and they’re lining up to rip away health care from 17 MILLION people. I’m sadly not surprised — but I am still outraged.

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

How can our representatives be so tone deaf? In a word—-Trump. They fear him more than their own constituents. Frighteningly illogical and seriously dangerous.

is this bad

Good question…

A Republic If You Can Keep It@arepublicif.bsky.social

Seeing Biden pay respects to the Hortmans & Gilbert breaks my heart. Trump could never comfort a grieving child. He would never feel sad about a murdered dog. He is gleeful one of his cultists assassinated a Dem pol. He’d like if it happened daily. Who are we to let this monster tear at our soul?

I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful. Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood. We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?
