Republicans just passed a bill that raises the deficit by $3T, kicks 17M ppl off healthcare, cuts food assistance for children, replaces clean energy with fossil fuels, triples ICE’s budget when they’re already disappearing people, all to give $1.5 T to the wealthiest 5%. Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

"I didn't know he would do this."
Yes, you did, or you voted while being completely uninformed which is just as bad.
Prove you didn't know it by joining folks resisting the regime. Prove it by disavowing him. Prove it by fighting for what's right. Otherwise, just be quiet.

National Public Radio has filed a suit against President Trump on the grounds that his executive order to cut the organization off from federal funding is a violation of free speech rights—and an attempt to usurp Congress’s power of appropriating federal funding.

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care.
They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

In the Venn diagram of Kansas City folks who love both Conner O’Malley and Gang of Four, there’s one guy in the middle nervously holding a vape and a scratched 7-inch… And now this Tuesday I have to pick between industrial noise rant-comedy or Marxist post-punk. I hate it here.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.
