People are being disappeared by our government. With all love and compassion, to hell with our comfort level, anxiety be damned, and f*ck whatever excuse we have as to why we aren’t the kind of people who are activists. If you're a decent human, it's time. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/heres-why-...

johnpavlovitz.substack.comHere's Why You Need To Become An Activist—Right. F*cking. Now.Ok, so I get it—you’re not an activist.

My God, these people like to see people dying or it appears they are seriously trying to destroy Americans.

If you’ve ever been given a free or low-cost test for lung, breast, colon or cervical cancer which caught a tumor, it’s likely due to a panel of 16 doctors and public health experts who reviewed the evidence and determined that a screening could save your life. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Immigrant advocacy groups filed the lawsuit saying ICE is systematically targeting brown-skinned people in Southern California during its ongoing immigration crackdown. The plaintiffs include three detained immigrants and two US citizens, one who was held despite showing agents his identification.

Moskowitz: "Kristi Noem doesn't know what she is doing. She has no idea what she is doing when it comes to FEMA ... what she did is she broke it, and she broke it on purpose so that when it fails this summer, she can say, 'Oh, see, we told you -- FEMA doesn't work.'"

The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.

Reporter: Are you investigating whether some of the cuts to the federal government left key vacancies at the national weather service? Trump: They didn’t.. That water situation that all is and that was really the Biden setup. That was not our setup. But I wouldn't blame Biden for it either.

It certainly should. Thom Tillis retirement is a direct result of the bill. And Jim Justice believes that they will lose seats in the House. I think we can take the Tillis seat and a couple more senate seats, along with numerous House seats. #USDemocracy www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

Folds: If we’ve been told our whole lives that we can’t spend money on the arts because they’re not important—then why was taking over the Kennedy Center and the arts the first thing they did? It is extremely important. It’s the bedrock of self-expression.

I see the cycle of Republicans breaking government and then running on government being broken continues "Since January, the NWS—a branch of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)—has reduced its workforce by nearly 600 people as a direct result of staffing cuts ordered by DOGE"

It turns out that "nobody" saw the Texas floods coming by design, this disaster has a culprit and their names are Donald Trump and Elon Musk. #3E #EndAutogenocide

“Nobody could have seen this coming.” In fact, it was entirely foreseeable. When governments undermine or defund the systems & experts responsible for monitoring environmental and weather conditions, it eliminates warnings and leaves people unnecessarily vulnerable to disaster.

While Kristi Noem’s out here blaming everyone but herself, here’s her own April press release bragging about clawing back $882M in disaster resilience grants. The kind that could’ve helped in Texas. They’d rather wage culture wars than actually protect human lives.

Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you. The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit. They just lie.

He's nothing but a thrift shop Trump impersonator. A vile man. Never held up against his many demonstrable lies.

Not to be a wet blanket, but I care far less about Mr. Jeffries breaking the floor speech record and more about hoping he’ll continue his speech into tomorrow to scuttle the GOP’s hopes of a July Fourth bill signing. Feasible? Probably not, but I'd like to see him try.
