Dear Dems,

Get your shit together. Do more of the Town Halls and explain to people who voted for this "Big Beautiful Bill" and how it will impact them. Don't just focus on what the rich will gain, but talk more (in detail) what the poor and middle-class will lose. You can do this!

At this point trumps tariff threats are just stock market manipulation. Nobody will prosecute him.

Kelly: Senator Ossoff and I introduced legislation to compel the rest of Congress to do what the two of us already do: put your assets into a blind trust, where you don’t have the ability to use any of the information you have to make money because of your job.

The Senate parliamentarian advised lawmakers that they couldn't use the Congressional Review Act to revoke California's right to set vehicle standards. But they did it anyway. Expect a legal fight.

This is absolutely terrible news.

With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately.

McGovern: We live in the richest country on Earth and not a single kid in this country should go to bed hungry, not a single damn one and especially when Republicans are giving millionaires and billionaires a big fat tax break.

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes

McGovern: The reason why the tax cuts for middle class families might expire is because that's the way you wrote them in the 2017 Republican tax scam bill. You made the corporate tax cuts permanent but those for working people you made expire, so it's your fault.

How are you going to remove someone from the room for calling you a racist if it's true?
Tarrant County continues to push back on the mid-cycle redistricting being pushed by County Judge Tim O’Hare.

Fort Worth City Council passed a resolution against what the county is doing.

And residents showed up to Commissioners Court on 5/20 and let ‘er rip.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding.

Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.
Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care
Hospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.

While I appreciate the "lock him up" and "impeach him" sentiments (and I'm with you), if Mueller, Garland, and impeachment taught us anything, its that 1) SCOTUS is corrupt and 2) We have to do this ourselves. As I've been saying for nearly 8 years: it's up to us. Always has been.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss
