My mother called Speaker Johnson’s office this afternoon to talk about the shutdown and to tell them that her healthcare costs went up 125% as of this week — she was excited because a staffer answered; then they hung up on her.

People of Illinois, we need your help.
Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.
We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

To Donald Trump:
Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities.
Stop calling your political opponents “enemies” of the US.
Stop attacking the 1st Amendment.
Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant.

Trump: San Francisco and Chicago, New York, Los Angeles… We'll straighten them out one-by-one. It will be a major part for some of the people in this room. It’s a war too. It’s a war from within

“Presence patrols” signal two things to Americans: overreach by “law enforcement” (usually against minorities) and a big waste of taxpayer money.

Instead of helping people get good jobs, Donald Trump just fired the statistician who reported bad jobs data that the wanna-be king doesn't like.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”

WOW: Just spent 30 minutes refilling a script on the Veteran's website - something that normally takes ten seconds. The website is a fucking mess. 404s and 502 bad gateways, looooong wait times... I imagine this is a product of gutting the USDS in favor of DOGE. What a nightmare for our Veterans.

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.
Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.
