Congress just loudly rebuked Trump on his rancid Epstein cover up.
Now it must rebuke him for attempting to surrender Ukraine to Putin. Let’s work together to deliver a very loud vote of “no confidence” in the days ahead.

Even if not pushing for this debacle, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s inability to hold his caucus is proof positive he is the wrong leader for this time.

MAGA cultist may buy the canard Trump is battling the “enemy from within,” but voters, courts, and governors are effectively confirming that Trump is the menace. Republicans would be smart to flee the losing side of an unsustainable position that has unified opposition to MAGA’s despotism.
Trump and chief attack dog Stephen Miller bit off more than they can chew. Their cities based on obvious lies has antagonized voters, outraged judges, and triggered public opposition from two GOP governors—a rare act of defiance that may trigger more defections. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

I'm regularly amazed that people are amazed that Trump is flouting and threatening democracy and democratic institutions. Lest we forget, THE MAN TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE ELECTED GOVERNMENT OF THE U.S.A.

Imagine if during a government shutdown President Biden or Obama had disappeared from public view for days like Trump has done now? How would corporate media have covered that?! But when Trump does it they quietly accept it

A group of 6 LCC K9 comfort dogs arrived in Minneapolis yesterday in the wake of the latest mass shooting. The organization deploys comfort dogs following tragic events. The dogs wore their "please pet me vests," offering love and comfort to those processing this heartbreaking tragedy. 15/10 for all

The CDC fired 600 people this week. During a covid surge. Restricted covid boosters this fall. School just started and measles herd immunity is lacking in many states. Vector borne diseases are attempting to gain stream. Bird flu isn’t being monitored properly.

Important info on the Big Bad Bill & how behind the scenes Republicans are reacting.
Republicans are in disarray over Trump’s Tax Scam. Senate changes to Medicaid funding, state and local taxes, and SNAP cuts are already imperiling the reconciliation bill in the House. Every change the Senate makes needs to be approved by the House, and that’ll be the hardest part for Republicans.
The reconciliation bill Republicans love to hate
With nine days until July 4, many Republicans are turning against the GOP’s massive reconciliation bill.

Important info on the Big Bad Bill & how behind the scenes Republicans are reacting.
The Senate might start voting on the Big Bad Bill tomorrow. Here’s a list of on the fence Republicans to call. If you live in these states or know anyone living in these states, please call these Senators or pass along this info today! Ask to save Medicaid and SNAP and vote NO on the bill.
