500 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics are at risk of closing because of the Trump-Republican big, ugly bill. Many are in rural areas.
Meanwhile, Republican-held US House districts and states Trump won in 2024 rely more on ACA coverage.
They're selling out their own voters.

Red flag for the US. Three high profile Yale professors,!experts on fascism and dictatorship, have fled to Canada after seeing the writing on the wall: Trump’s regime is going full fascist.
Many more academics, scientists, and civil society member expected to flee the United States soon.

Israel has been commiting GENOCIDE the whole time, WITH US support from 2 Presidents! END THE AID NOW! We can never repair the damge we have allowed to be committed against the Palestinian people. SHAME ON US!
Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.
Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.
NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

83yo Sen. Sanders should 💯 be Minority Leader. No other Senator is capable of leading. Bernie’s been leading—and consistent in his principles & caring deeply about the American people—his whole career.
Alas, too many Dems in the Senate are cowardly quislings with fat stock portfolios.

It turns out rule of law was on the ballot.
I am tracking 3 separate cases where the government is violating court orders. The question now is whether judges find willfulness and hold officials in contempt.

The USPS is the nation’s lifeline, ensuring delivery to every corner of the country.
We cannot allow it to be dismantled, sold off, and handed over to billionaires for profit.

Openly defying court orders multiple times= dictatorship
Threatening to jail political opponents despite them being pardoned= dictatorship
Deporting American citizens who have legal citizenship= dictatorship
Can’t put it any simpler.

a 30 day CR continues government without removing the legislature as a check on unopposed fascism. Any other action by the senate is unacceptable. But a government shut-down beats permanently ending our constitutional government. People REALLY need to start voting more intelligently in primaries.
The CR passed in the House will provide a blank check for Trump and Musk to continue their savage war against working families, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor in order to lay the groundwork for massive tax breaks for billionaires.
This is a bill I cannot support.
