My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

The administration simultaneously says it needs to lay off employees because it is out of money and also that Kristi Noem needs two private jets because it is not safe for her to travel through the airports where her propaganda is running 24/7

Think it's reasonable to ask DC Republicans why they expect Democrats would vote for things now that passed without their votes just a few months ago.

Was passing things in a Senate that requires 60 votes for final passage of a budget with 51 votes thru reconciliation smart? It seems stupid.

There appears to be complete failure of Republican governance in Texas - down to the local and state level. How many lives would have been saved if Republican officials in TX used fed aid from Biden to fund their flood warning systems?
Despite receiving $10.2 million in federal aid from the Biden administration that could have funded a flood warning system, Kerr County officials diverted most of the money to law enforcement projects.

Cost estimate of the House-passed "Big Beautiful Bill" is out

It'd be the largest cut to Medicaid+CHIP and SNAP in history while still increasing deficits by $2.4 trillion due to $3.8 trillion in tax cuts

This'd be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history

Americans do not understand shared sacrifice. Covid showed us they don’t give a shit at all.
Rep. David Joyce on Trump saying girls should have fewer dolls: "The idea that the Christmas trade is already starting to slow down and there might be less around, I get it. I think the American people will understand that because the American people understand shared sacrifice."

Auchincloss on Fox News: "What I'm seeing is a president who is more interested in the valuation of his memecoin than he is about people's 401ks. What I'm seeing is a president who along with Howard Lutnick is self-dealing on crypto instead of worrying about the strength of the US dollar."

And we’re rolling back regulations, so soon you can buy a feces stuffed sock called a doll for $100.
Miller: "If you had a choice between a doll from China that might have lead paint from it that is not as well constructed, as a doll made in America that has a highly environmental and regulatory standard & those two products are both on Amazon, that yes, you probably would be willing to pay more."

Holy shit. People are well within their rights to seek legal advice. That’s not obstruction. This is massively fucked up.
Take a minute from your day and read this chilling story about how quickly we've gotten to where we are.
1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation

Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation"

Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company

This is the biggest, underreported news right now. Republicans are trying to STEAL an election in North Carolina. Straight up. This is a test case for 2026 and 2028. They will never voluntarily give up power again.
Bombshell in North Carolina: the state's GOP-dominated Court of Appeals just sided with the GOP candidate in last year's supreme court race.

Their decision would toss roughly 60,000 ballots (!) that have been counted, & likely hand the election to GOP instead of incumbent Dem Justice who won it.

The two most powerful Republican politicians in America - the president and co-president of the United States - are publicly praising and defending and excusing the crimes of a far-right foreign politician who leads a party founded by a Holocaust-denying neo-Nazi.

We are in a very, very dark place.

Chief Justice Roberts raised a hypothetical where a vegan restaurant could claim it was promoting non-meat dinners out of a religious obligation, and thus seek tax exemptions.

The court’s eventual ruling by the end of term in June could have tax exemption ramifications nationwide.
