If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

BERNIE: “I worry we are increasingly becoming an oligarchic form of society, where a very small # of people control our economy + have huge influence over both political parties. if there was ever a time to stand up for working families and prevent authoritarianism, this is it.”

now is the time for every media personality to stand up and speak out, because what this shows is that nothing will save you
they’re coming for all of you, unless you’re a true believer your days are numbered and your bosses are eager to comply
do something you can be proud of on your way out

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

OK this sucks and @erininthemorning.com does good work but please read her prose, not just her map. At least some pink/ orange states still provide gender affirming care for youth: they're pink because some providers no longer offer it. At least one state AG (Nessel, MI) has sued to restore it.
This shit sucks man. Medically proven and effective treatment that would save trans youth a lifetime of pain and discomfort in their own bodies thrown in the trash because our country enables the most evil people imaginable.

Agree with Will on the substance but “no one actually goes to Cracker Barrel” and “Cracker Barrel is a punchline” is just ignorant elitist bullshit. Cracker Barrel is a $1.4 billion business with 660 locations.
The Cracker Barrel controversy is bewildering because:
1. No one actually goes there
2. It’s a punchline
3. Everyone just seems to be mad at the idea of change - any change - occurring
4. The right seems to identify the very existence of change as “wokeness” in some way

And so it begins. Trump is now threatening to strip Rosie O’Donnell of her U.S. citizenship because she’s “not in the best interests of our Great Country.”
Remember when they mocked us for saying Trump is a wannabe dictator who will always put himself above the Constitution?

We are facing a really dark time.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Two weeks ago today, Donald Trump’s ICE agents arrested me.
Now, he’s threatening to put @zohrankmamdani in a prison camp he’s building in a Florida swamp.
It’s frightening. It’s essential to fight back. It makes me proud of how New Yorkers voted last week – and how we’ll vote again in November.

I want to note that sometimes calling your Senators really does work.
Even Republican ones.
Note that Republicans themselves pulled this from their bill... true that it's likely because they could not get the votes from Dems, but they didn't even force the vote.

Incredible news for trans people - the Medicaid provision is out of the Trump horror bill. It did not require a point of order vote, and instead, Republicans pulled it out on their own, likely knowing they would lose the vote.
Good job to everyone for calling their Senators.

News: The most recent GOP reconciliation bill no longer has the provision to ban Medicaid from being used on gender-affirming care
The parliamentarian had disqualified the provision, but Republicans had left it on the text — it now has been removed
