In a 6-3 vote on Trump v. CASA, the MAGA Supreme Court ruled to narrow the scope of nationwide injunctions, limiting lower courts’ ability to broadly protect us against Trump’s onslaught of illegal and unconstitutional actions. 🧵
This outrageous Supreme Court decision is another reminder that the courts won’t save us. Today’s ruling from the MAGA SCOTUS is all the more reason why Democrats in Congress must fight like hell to block Trump’s policies from being enacted and gum up the works as much as possible.
Trump says supreme court limiting judges’ powers is ‘monumental victory’ as liberal justices dissent – live
Sonia Sotomayor says decision is an ‘open invitation … to bypass the constitution’; joined by Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson

If 102-year-old Kurt Goldschmidt, a survivor of the Holocaust, says "no kings" you'd best get up and stand up for your rights before it's too late. Mr. Goldschmidt knows all too well what he's seeing in Trump's America. It was an honor to stand with him today. #NoKingsInAmerica

I stand in solidarity with the nearly 1000 SEIU Meriter Hospital nurses in Madison, WI who are rightfully demanding fair pay, safe staffing ratios & improved safety measures.
After over twenty bargaining sessions, Meriter Hospital needs to get serious and reach a contract now.

Trump’s Tax Scam would trade American lives for billionaire tax breaks.
New estimates show the GOP’s plan would strip Medicaid coverage from seven million people and cause more than 200,000 avoidable deaths.

House Republicans’ Medicaid Cuts and Associated Lives Lost by Congressional District
Proposals to impose work requirements on Medicaid expansion enrollees would cause large coverage losses and hundreds of avoidable deaths each year in many congressional districts.

This is a blatant, deeply alarming attempt to shut down lawful oversight of the Trump administration's wildly illegal conduct, and part of an escalating authoritarian crackdown on political dissent. We stand with Rep. McIver against this baseless persecution.

Wow - I knew cutting Medicaid is unpopular. I didn't know it is *this* unpopular.
There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to Medicaid.

Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

This is what oligarchy is about.
While planning massive cuts to Medicaid, the Republicans are proposing to provide another $235 billion in tax breaks to the top 0.2% of households through an increase in the estate tax exemption.
The very rich get richer. The poor lose health care. Outrageous.

this is a bit of meta-analysis here, but one of the benefits of members of Congress engaging in direct challenges to the administration is they become personally implicated and pissed off at how they are treated. And that’s good! They should be!
NEW: Utter fury from Rep. Robert Menendez directed at ICE:
“They feel no weight of the law & no restraint. That was shown in broad daylight when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress. HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE? TO ANYONE IN THIS COUNTRY.” 🔥
